"I apologize. I forgot you were a princess," I told my daughter.It was her turn to wash the dishes and put them away. Her room was (is) a disaster and she thinks she should quit her job because she dosn't like it. She also complains that this makes her tired.

Poor Princess. Thank God she is of a Royal Bloodline (LOL) and has the option of sleeping in, staying out late, doing what ever she pleases and knowing that her humble servants (her Dad and I) will be picking up the pieces as they plummet to the ground.

NOT!

Some people have unrealistic expectations. My dear daughter will be needing her job to pay her Dad and I rent if she does not get off her butt and do her chores. She can stay up late but she will be tired in the morning and her boss wont give a ... She is also free to trash her room and have her Mom condemn it. and she will then have the luxury of the couch without any privacy from her sisters.

Life is about choices.Your Choices lead you down a path.

 Just like my daughter, some people can have an unrealistic view of what it will take to get what they want. Some people in the housing market today don't have a clear perspective of what they will sell or buy a home for. That is why you hire an agent. They will be with you every step of the way. When selling a home they will share pricing and marketing strategies. If you are buying a home they will help you find a good lender and put together a plan that works for you and your budget.

Trust the professionals. A lot of hard work goes into finding a great home and it should not have to be yours. Sit back and be the Princess, but listen to your advisers they have your goals at heart.Remember good Agents take good care of thier clients, and when they do everybody wins!
