Do you think I could have a logo, a motto or a google promotion that announces to the world...."I only  work with fun people??!!"  Do you think that would go over well??  I mean I get it - I really, truly, sincerely do.  Buying a house can be stressful.  There are so many questions, unknowns and variables.  But really, in the end isn't it mostly a privilege and a joy to enter the world of home ownership?  Isn't it a wonderful milestone like getting married or having a child or getting a promotion?  I think so - in fact I know so.  Soooooo, why the mug shot?  Why the down and out disappointment?  Why dear clients and friends do you walk through the door of a potential home and act like you have entered a funeral parlor?  All right - the kitchen has a wallpaper sailboat border, the backsplash features a peacock front and center and the downstairs bathroom has a pink commode but really can't you find your sense of humor and see past these quick easy fixes on a potentially fantastic home??  Or just smile and say WOWZA - I can't live with that pink toilet, let's move on.  And on we would go hand in hand into the sunset until we find the perfect fit.  It's fun!!!  Have a good time!  Enjoy the process!  See the good, the bad and the ugly and smile all the way to the settlement table.  This is supposed to be a joyride not a wake!  Just a friendly reminder from your Alexandria Virginia specialist to have a good time.  :)
