Finally, and most importantly, what are your dreams and aspirations for the next chapter of your life?
Yes, this is a big question but keep it simple and honest. Answer quickly by typing what comes to your mind. Don't overthink it or edit your words. Your heart knows what new things you want to bring into your life (a new hobby, a new career, a new way of living...). Nothing should be perfect. Often a string of words that express a feeling or desire work great. Our team is amazing at helping clients clarify their aspirations and visualize where they can blossom in a new home. This helps clients decide if homes they consider genuinely align with their dreams or not}.
