Ahhhhhh! Summertime!
It is that time of year that most of us try to take some time away and recharge. Over the course of my years in the business, this time away is critically important to reflect on where you have been and to remember to dream about where you want to go.
When I say “go” I don’t actually mean physically “go” rather, what goals you want to achieve if there were no boundaries or limitations. In relationship to remodeling this means evaluating what your current needs are and what they could be for the next year or years. Does the house, garden or property meet those needs? If you didn’t have zoning, financial or topographical boundaries or limitations what would you do with your current space?
In this month’s issue, you will find a variety of dreams that turned into reality be- cause of a NARI Metro DC Chapter member. Tey work with homeowners to navigate their challenges and create their dreams. Te best way to achieve these dreams is through teamwork and communication. As homeowners, your responsi- bility initially is to share your ideas in one fashion or another, either verbally or in pictures from things like magazines, Pintrest or Houzz. Our job is to listen and ask questions—lots of questions. Once construction begins, our roles flip. Your job is to ask questions about whatever you don’t understand; ours is to answer in a way makes sense to you. Tis doesn’t mean that there won’t be unforeseen bumps in the road. Our members anticipate them and our job is to help get through them; yours is to be patient, continue to ask questions and be open to suggestions on how to get over, around or through the bumps. When both parties are open with commu- nication throughout the process, the team is created. All members of the team are looking towards the same end goal of making your dream a reality.
So, as we head into the fall, what is your dream and how can one of our members help make that dream come true?
Warm Regards,
