The Quality of Life in Real State

A real estate agent encourages buyers to look at factors of a property that impact positively on their mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

“There are direct and indirect effects from the homes we live in. People tend to view their home as a material item that they purchase and decorate, but it actually becomes the hub of all other aspects of your life.” says Matt Parker author of Real Estate Smart: The New Home Buying Guide

Home buyers tend to be more concerned about having the best finishes and upgrades in a home, but there are other factors that should guide their search at home. And you, as your real estate agent, should be like a coach, helping them choose a home where they will thrive physically, mentally and socially.

Promote Green Views; People living in homes that have views of the natural environment tend to have lower levels of stress, improved concentration, air quality and even life expectancy. People living in greener urban areas are three times more likely to live a healthier lifestyle, according to research cited in Parker's book.

Social Aspects of a Home; Open design studios have observed a greater connection between family members living with fewer walls separating them, as well as removing barriers between the kitchen and living room can encourage people to eat an average of 170 calories More per day than those with a closed plan.

And if you don't have green areas such as mountain, lake, or seascape views, beautiful gardens can have the same effect. Here's to good health, a peaceful soul and improved relationships!
