At the initial interview, the most important information you'll get is not from brochures, portfolios, or a sales pitch, BUT FROM YOUR OWN INTUITION. Ask your self: Can we trust this person to execute plans for our dream home, likely the biggest expenditure of our lifetime? Is there a natural two-way communication, mutual respect, and creative energy? Does he have the vision to make our home unique and important? Is his sense of the project similar to ours? Will we have any fun together for at least a year? If your answer is YES! you've found the most valuable asset- THE RIGHT CHEMISTRY.
