Congratulations! You took the first step in making your home search a whole lot easier!

Finding a home requires a team approach effort and we look forward to analyzing what your needs and goals are, so that as we move forward to the appropriate next steps, we are equipped with knowledge to better help you with your real estate purchase in the area.

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful feedback.

Open communication is one of the essential ingredients in having a team help you find the right home!

If you have any questions at all regarding the multi-step process of finding the perfect home for you, please contact us directly at 760-798-9024 or email team@dreamwellhomes.com

We have found it to be very beneficial for both us and our buyers if they take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire above before beginning house shopping.

This not only clarifies in our mind what you want, but helps to solidify it in your mind as well.

When you have clear picture of your new home in your mind, it saves you a lot of time searching through and visiting homes that aren’t a good match for you.

So, if you’ll fill this out as much as you can and get it back to us, we can discuss on the telephone at a time convenient for you (let us know when), then we’ll work together to implement a strategy to find the home that you’ve described to us!
