A special Thank You to all of our customers and clients for the opportunity to serve you throughout 2019! It has been our pleasure helping you in your journey to realize "When a House Becomes a Happy Home! 

Most of us can agree it makes financial sense to buy a home, but more often than not, we forget to reflect on the emotional reasons for homeownership. Whether it's a comforting view, a certain scent or a favorite chair, the feel-good connections to our own homes are typically more important to us than the financial ones. Here are some of the reasons why

1. Owning your home offers stability to start and raise a family

From the best neighborhoods to the top school districts, even those without children at the time of purchase may have this in the back of their minds as a major reason for choosing the location of the home they purchase.

2. There's no place like home

Owning your own home offers not only safety and security, but also a comfortable place where you can simply relax and kick-back after a long day. Sometimes, that's just what we need to feel re-charged and truly content.

3. You have more space for you and your family

Whether your family is expanding, an older family member is moving in, or you need to have a large backyard for your pets, you can take all this into consideration when buying your dream home, so the space truly works for you.

4. You have control over renovations, updates, and style

Looking to actually try one of those complicated wall treatments you saw on Pinterest? Tired of paying an additional pet deposit for your apartment building? Maybe you want to finally adopt that fur-baby puppy or kitten you've been hoping for. Who's to say you can't do all of these things in your own home?

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or a move-up buyer who wants to start a new chapter in your life, our real estate professionals at Montague Miller & Co look forward to assisting you throughout your journey! https://www.montaguemiller.com/agent-roster.html
