Happy Friday! You made it to another weekend. What fun filled and exciting things await you this weekend? Will you be Christmas shopping, decorating, or wrapping gifts? I’m one of those obnoxious people who absorb every aspect of the Holiday. I want to listen to Christmas carols, wear red, decorate every room, light pine scented candles, drink eggnog, and watch Frank Sentara in Holiday Inn. It feels special to me, I find it charming. We are only two weeks away from Christmas and I’m already feeling sad that it will come and go too quickly.
I was raised on good holiday traditions that I look forward to them every year. Just recently there were some big changes that happened in my family and I’m not sure what to expect this Christmas. Traditions might have to be changed but I think it will be ok. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. It’ll be alright as long as I’m surrounded with the people I love. I believe in traditions but sometimes you can’t hold on to them to tightly. They are merely just familiar acts that we have attached positive memories or emotions to. We are such creatures of habit and loyalty, which is why breaking traditions can be painful. We cling to rituals to find normalcy and feeling like we belong to something. People’s emotions get way too involved in traditions. Much like home buying, where people should use their logic they rely on their feelings. A home is a structure in which we live in to keep safe from the outside elements. But we all know there is far more involved than just that. We all have emotional reasons that we want or like a house. A house becomes a gathering place of life’s mile stones, a unit of memories walled in by mortar and brick. It’s hard not to let your feelings get the best of you when buying or selling a house. You have to remind yourself to be logical. People who allow their emotional side to become vested in a home make decisions based on feelings rather than logic. Which is why a third person party can help bring perspective to an otherwise biased decision. Enter the real estate agent. Think of an agent is as this unbiased person, has your best interest in mind, is well versed in the ways of real estate, and can swoop in like superman to save you from the kryptonite that is your emotional attachment.
An agent should help bring perspective and facts to you. Which is why choosing the right agent is almost as important as finding the right home. An agent should do leaps and bounds more then turn a key and write a contract. They should be a superman to your home buying/selling experience. So choose wisely! And enjoy your weekend!
