Private Notes
Ryan and Lindsay just got married and want to buy their first home together in the Minneapolis suburbs. With a budget of $525,000, they're looking for a large house to raise their future children. But just how large is up for debate. Ryan wants a house that's over 4000 square feet. Lindsay is concerned about the cost to clean and maintain a house of that size, and would like to find a house that's less than 4000 square feet.
James and Sherry have made a great living for themselves as the owners of a well-known air conditioning business in Dallas, Texas.

Sherry and James envision a home with a grand staircase, a game room and an updated kitchen. James is fairly flexible, though he has one major deal breaker: he will not even look at a home that backs up to a body of water because he is deathly afraid of snakes.

Kurt and Dani split their time between a home in Indianpolis and a vacation bungalow in Key West. But that one bedroom bungalow doesn't offer much space for Kurt to work, so they're looking for a bigger place with a historic past.

Will Kurt and Dani find history - and an extra bedroom or two - without breaking the bank?
Living in the guesthouse at Livia's parent's house has been great for saving money and having live-in babysitting. But once their young daughter started walking, Warren proclaimed, 'we gotta get out of here!" Warren is focused on finding more space, while his wife Livia is more concerned with nice curb appeal, and no popcorn ceilings. She also has a 'sniff test' when she walks into a condo, and if she smells even a trace of smoke, it's a deal breaker.

Robert and Holly spent their Utah winters feeling cold and depressed, so they've moved with their two young daughters to Austin, Texas. They've fallen for the warmer climate and hip vibe, and are ready to spend $350,000 on a home that's as close to the fun of downtown as they can get. But finding a garage big enough to house Robert's motorcycles, and a space where Holly can operate her own hair salon, is going to be more challenging than they expected, especially because Holly is a very picky house hunter!
