Here are some quick tips:</div><div><strong>Create Your Own Custom Tour</strong>: Head over to&nbsp;<a rel="noopener" target="_new" href="https://www.triangleparade.com/">triangleparade.com</a>&nbsp;to build a custom tour with home-to-home directions. The site offers a full list of homes and the ability to create a map with turn-by-turn navigation. You can even email it to your friends or share it on social media to make a day out of it!</div><div><strong>Make It Fun</strong>: This is more than just house hunting—it’s an event! Pack snacks, drinks, and maybe even a “Car-cuterie” board to keep things fun and relaxed as you explore homes. Whether you’re flying solo, bringing your family, or making it a day with friends, taking photos and saving your favorite ideas to a Pinterest board is a great way to remember all the cool design trends you spot.</div><div><strong>Pro Tip: Bring Your Checkbook</strong>: You never know! Some homes are available for immediate purchase, so if you find “the one,” you might want to act fast. Make sure you’ve got your pre-qualification documents ready just in case. So call your lender now and if you need a referral for one, I've got you covered.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><h1>Why You Should Care (Even if You’re Not Buying Right Now)</h1><p style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Not in the market for a new home?
