When you buy a house, does that make it a home?

It depends on how you look at it.  Colleen Kulikowski posted What Makes a House a Home and that really got me to thinking.  What does make a home?

Some houses are small, some are big.  Some houses are jazzed up, some need a little work.  However, I think it's what you put into the house that makes it your home.

Consider this for just a moment.  If you accepted a job offer in  The Woodlands, TX, purchased a house, and moved in a month before your spouse with minimal belongings, Would you feel at home?

I view multiple houses every week whether it be touring, showing or holding an Open House.  I get to see some beautiful houses-but I don't feel at home.

Now when I leave the office everyday and go to my modest house where my kids greet with a big smile, I feel at home.  I walk in to my home with my sofa, my television, my computer where I Blog on Active Rain and I feel at home.  As I walk my way into the kitchen to fix dinner, I feel at home.

When it is time for you to look at houses, you will see many.  Good floorplans, bad floorplans. Some will have big backyards, others won't.  But when you find the right one, I won't have to tell you.  You will know right away.  You will know in your heart that you will be proud to call this house your home.

Whenever you feel it is time to find the perfect home, rest assured I will understand what you mean.  I will be your tour guide and will be Opening Doors to Your Dreams.
