TAKE A LOOK INSIDE THE COURSE
WHY IS A FOREVER HOME DIFFERENT?
When creating a Forever Home, you anticipate living in it for at least 10+ years.
Your mindset is different than if you’re just ‘flipping’ for re-sale, or not going to be there long.
Your requirements are really different too. You want quality workmanship, materials that will last and superior functionality and flexibility. Near enough is not good enough.
Your material choices, the floorplan, the fittings and fixtures – they all need to meet your specific requirements, and they need to work a lot harder than just ‘looking good’ for sale.
Let this 6 week course guide and arm you with what you need to know to embark on your Forever Home journey. Let’s share the journey together to make your Forever Home right for now, and for years to come.
