Recently sold a house to my very sweet first time home buyers. Both are working full time, both are busy with their social lives and both are hopeless dreamers. Enthusiastically and fast they bought a fixer with giant idea to create a master piece. Told them ton of times “guys, it’s going to be too much for your life style, luck of experience and budget” but who listen a realtor right? You know the outcome. Frustrated and exhausted poor kids almost divorced over that remodeling nightmare. Put it on the market, sold it and almost immediately they found another even scarier fixer. My moaning and growling is not helping…. They never learn from somebody else's mistakes, do they...and sometimes not from their own

Think back to when you made your first real estate transaction, was it smooth? How many did you blow before getting one right? Perhaps this may be the same example.
