When most people tour a home, they focus on the finishes — the countertops, the paint, or the appliances.
But after years in architecture and real estate, I’ve learned that real value isn’t in what you see today — it’s in what the home could become tomorrow.
Here’s how I look at every property:
-
Function: Does the layout support how you actually live? Flow matters more than footage.
-
Light: How the home feels at different times of day tells you more than the listing photos ever will.
-
Flexibility: Can this home evolve with your lifestyle — a home office, aging in place, or future resale?
Seeing a home through this lens helps buyers make confident decisions and sellers highlight what makes their space special.
If you’d like a quick “Architect’s Eye Review” of a home you’re considering — or your current one before listing — I’d love to help.
