Buying a home for most of us is a one-time life experience. We want to be extremely sure of every nook and cranny before we make it ours.

No matter where we are - in the shower or waiting in a queue to buy a latte - we're continuously finding answers to questions like "How will the paint on the walls look? Who are our neighbors? Can we set a barbeque in the backyard on weekends?" This is because a home is meant to create lasting memories, and we don't want to leave it to chance.
