Let us Help you Pick
the Property that Best Fits your Needs ...
Choosing the "right" property from amongst the several you are considering to buy right now, is not as
"simple and easy" a task as some folks would have you believe! Apart from its obvious importance
–make the wrong choice and you'll have to live with the financial and emotional consequences, like it or not, for quite some
time to come–that task, which routinely involves upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars, is an extremely complex and time
consuming one especially for a "layman" who already has his/her hands full dealing with a flood of other, equally
complex and daunting, "relocation" problems!
To help you make the choice that is right for YOU, we hereby offer to do the following;
First: We will meet with you at your home for as many hours as it may take to explore, discuss, and help
you "nail down" your needs, desires and "dreams" (to prepare yourself for all this, visit our
"Home Design"
and "Garden Design" questionnaires) and your ability and willingness to afford them financially!
Second: We will physically visit each of the sites you are "looking at" for as long as it may
take us thoroughly and carefully to evaluate it in terms of the following criteria;
the appropriateness and the quality of its immediate
surroundings (not only will those surroundings be something you'll have to look at and live with for an undetermined
number of years, they will also have either a positive or a negative impact, visual or otherwise, on the new property
you are trying to create there;
the appropriateness and the physical condition of its existing structure(s), if any;
the characteristics of the lot; i.e. its elevations, grading & drainage, existing tree and
shrub cover, its "view sheds", and its "rights of way", if any, etc.;
the potential impact of local government "Planning & Zoning" ordinances and regulations, building codes,
set-backs, and community (Home Owners Association) imposed design limitations and/or restrictions, if any, to which the
property under consideration may be subject;
and – most importantly – the probable costs involved with its conversion, vis-à-vis your financial resources,
needs, desires, and dreams.
Third: We will meet with you again,
either on-site or at your home, to discuss each property in detail, to go over its plusses and minuses, and to let you know
which one WE would pick if we were in your shoes and why! By the way, if NONE of the properties
under consideration sufficiently meets, in our unbiased and professional opinion, the agreed upon criteria, you can rest assured
we'll inform you of that also!
For this service we will charge you a flat fee of $1,650 to evaluate the first two properties, and an added $500 for
each additional property in addition to reasonable costs and expenses for transportation and lodgings, if any, beyond a 60 mile
radius from Washington, DC. Considering that the job (ex travel time) might take us a minimum of 24
man-hours to accomplish and that its outcome will be of crucial importance to you, we are sure that you will find that $1,650,
flat fee to be more than reasonable, indeed!
