2. Be flexible. In your monetary calculations, overestimate by a
thousand dollars. In this market, anything can happen between contract
acceptance and closing. It could be the inspections reveal areas of
concern that the seller is unwilling to fix or the repair costs are
higher than the amount limited in the contract. Or the interest rate
changes which affects the necessary down payment and closing costs you
will need to come up with. As your real estate team, we will strive to
tie up loose ends as quickly as possible, but remember there is no
perfect world. Most buyers feel a bit overwhelmed when taking on a
new mortgage and the responsibilities of a new home and we've seen
many buyers get angry when it seems like the cost just keeps going up.
Anger is caused when reality doesn't match up with the expectations
you had in your mind. So if you anticipate this happening in advance,
you won't get angry. In fact, it'll probably go better than you
expected.
3. Trust in the process. There's just so much to do, it's easy to
panic. You wonder if it will ever work out. In fact, when we bought
our house, we couldn't eat for a day, we felt sick to our stomachs!
You think you're taking a big chance, but the truth is you're giving
yourself a big chance. Even though you can't see every step of the
way, as you move towards your goals, the way opens up. We know that
you haven't moved in a long time and it's a major upheaval in your
life. But we've been there many times before, and we'll be looking
out for you. Trust that we know the way to get you there.
