Over-IF-In Syndrome: The process of repeated negative thoughts running through your head at breakneck speed while laying in bed trying to sleep.

OverIFinication: The process of repeated negative thoughts running through your head at breakneck speed while laying in bed trying to sleep.

After writing an offer on an approved short sale, the timelines for due diligence are real tight so instead of being satisfied with the results and thrilled for your client, you question:

  • IF-in the timelines are realistc?
  • IF-in the earnest money is protected?
  • IF-in the inspection will yield dramatic results?
  • IF-in the appraisal will come in at /or above offer amount?
  • IF-in, IF-in, IF-in and IF-in!

IF-in I don't get some sleep, I may be so IF-in tired tomorrow and no use to anyone! IF-in you don't hear from me, you'll know I got the Over-IF-In Syndrome!

Wanda.. I'm surprised you would even go down this road of IF's.  Why?  You ARE very good at what you do.  You should never second guess yourself.

All I have to say on this one Wanda,

"If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, wouldn't it be a Merry Christmas?"

Don't let the if syndrome keep you up at night. Do your best and rest easy.

Good luck and success.

I am a worry by nature.  More often than not there is a problem on about every transaction that seems to delay it for some reason.
