Buying or selling real estate can be extremely emotional. You often hear that "you must detach yourself emotionally from your home when selling" or "not to make an emotional purchase". This is very easy to say, and is something we have been hearing for decades, but WHY??
Usually people are making the biggest purchase of their lives when buying a home and are making the biggest sale of their lives when selling, so why can't you be emotional??
- Emotion usually clouds the senses and your judgment.
- Emotion usually helps you make irrational decisions.
- Emotion puts LIFE in our world.
So here's what I think. Without emotion, buyers would just visit listings and would never find that property that makes their heart skip a beat or make them extremely excited. Without emotion sellers would only worry about their bottom dollar and would not care about any other detail regarding their home. TALK ABOUT BORING! We live in a society where hiding your feelings is the norm.
My advice is to keep it real! Be emotional! Your emotions will tell you when you are working with the right Realtor, one that makes you feel comfortable and cares about your needs. Your emotions will let you know when you have found the perfect property. Your emotions will tell you that your Realtor has found the perfect buyer for your home.
