Tell me how you want to live.
A bedroom count and a price range are a useful start. Your everyday routine often tells me more about which homes to show you.

Separate needs from preferences
Think about what would make a home difficult to live in. It might be stairs, a parking arrangement or a room that can't do what you need it to. Then make a second list of things you'd enjoy but could live without.
If two priorities compete, tell me which matters more. A shorter drive and a larger home may lead to different searches. We can compare the options together rather than exclude useful possibilities too early.
Give each location a real visit
A photo can't tell you how a street feels on a normal day. When possible, visit at the times that matter to you and try the routes you expect to use.
On a showing, we can discuss the layout and what is visible about the property. Where a question requires an inspection or specialist advice, we identify it rather than assume an answer.
Keep notes while the homes are fresh
After a few tours, details begin to blend together. A short note about what worked, what didn't and what needs checking makes the next conversation more useful.
Tell me when your priorities change. Seeing homes is often how people discover what they really want, and the search should adjust with you.
Use the search, then ask us about the home
The Slava House has our team’s home search and neighborhood guides. You can browse there and send me the address of a home you'd like to talk about.
I work every deal with Slava, and he works with buyers in Russian too. Start with the buyer quiz if you'd like us to know your plans before we talk.

Questions about your move?
Tell me where you are and what you're weighing. I'll tell you plainly what I'd look at first and what I'd do in your place.
