The Home I Picture — With Luna by My Side
When I imagine the perfect home, I don’t instantly picture a dream kitchen or a walk-in robe (though let’s be honest, I wouldn’t complain). I picture Luna, my big, black, tail-wagging Labrador, sprawled out in a patch of sun on a freshly cut lawn, or bounding in through a sliding door after her morning walk.
For me, the “right” home isn’t just about square footage or postcode — it’s about how we’ll live in it. Together.
I imagine:
- A secure backyard where she’s safe and happy while I am visiting clients.
- A quiet, friendly neighbourhood where early morning walkies feel peaceful, not pressured.
- Durable floors that can handle excited paws and post-park zoomies.
- Being close enough to walk or drive to the beach. Because anyone who has a Lab knows they’re total water babies.
- And one day? A laundry with a built-in dog washing station (yes, thats a dream of mine!).
When I work with clients, I always encourage them to think beyond the basics, not just the budget or the suburb, but how the home fits their lifestyle, routines, and even their furry companions. Because those are the things that truly make a house feel like home.
From a financial perspective, considering your lifestyle early on can actually save you money down the line. Choosing a home with the right features from the start, like secure outdoor space or pet-friendly finishes, can help avoid costly renovations, ongoing damage, or extra services like doggy daycare or pet-sitting. It’s all about planning for the life you want to live.
Buying a home isn’t just a transaction. It’s the foundation for your next chapter, muddy paws, morning walks, and all.
And if you’re dreaming about your next move, with or without a Luna of your own…I’d love to help you make it happen.
