How many bedrooms do you need?

One of the first questions we will ask when we meet a potential buyer is how many bedrooms do they need? Knowing the number of bedrooms the buyer would like their new home to have, helps us to narrow down the number of homes that we can show them. A buyer will want to consider the space they feel they will need, plus, some buyers will want to consider the resale value of owning a 2-bedroom home versus owning a 4-bedroom home.
