Ahh.... nothing like a good fight

In the real estate business we see families up close and personal making a big decision.  Remember this is the biggest purchase they are making so needless to say we see some good disagreements.  It's rough sometimes because different members of the families have different priorities.

Last week I saw one of those days.  My clients were Metro Detroit first time home buyers.  They had made the decision on which city and which school system was important to them but they were far from being on the same page.

The wife would have bought two houses but the husband wasn't happy with either one.  He was ready to up his mortgage limit over $30,000 in order to get a house he wants.  I'm sure they both can find a house they like in that range.  Would have been interesting to be a fly in that car on the way home.

But my best fight was when the wife really wanted a house, but it was over their budget.  My clients were relocation buyers and we were sitting in the hotel lobby.  It got so hot that they asked me if I would take their baby out and give them a few minutes. 

She was going to have to give up some of her "weekly frivolous shopping budget" in order to get the house.  They bought the house but I don't know whether she gave up the shopping budget.   I have a feeling the husband gave in on that one.
