I can't believe it. I have become like some of my clients. I didn't used to be this way. Is there a pill I can take to cure this? You have no idea what I am talking about do you? I'm sorry. At least I can cure that.

I'm moving. I am a renter. Yes a realtor renter. At least since my divorce I have been a renter. I have been in this same place for three years and it is time to go. I need a change. I had to give sixty days notice to my current landlord. I did that without having a sure place to go but knowing a few realtors I figured no big deal. And of course it wasn't. I was offered so many deals from realtor friends that I finally stopped telling people I was moving. I got tired of explaining why I didn't want to live in the palace they were offering me. So what is the problem you ask? Why am I like one of my customers? I can't make up my mind which abode I want to live. That's right; I can't make up my mind on where to live. I have become one of my clients.

I have narrowed the decision down to two places and I can't make up my mind. Are you familiar with that particular buyer syndrome? Been there, done that and now I am "it". I have used all of the logic I use with my customers. I even did a buyers interview on myself. Yes I did answer myself. Do I need a shrink? I still can't make up my mind. I have taken the old yellow pad and #2 pencil and made my positives and negatives list. I have flipped a coin and it landed on its' edge. Just kidding on that one, but you get my point. I am my buyer.

Maybe the problem is that both potential landlords are friends of mine. Good friends. I know the one's husband, kids and grandkids and I know the others boyfriend. Opps ex-boyfriend, they broke up last week. I introduced them to each other two years ago. She called me crying this past week. And the other potential landlord called me this past week complaining about a mutual friend of ours. Thank goodness they know I have no social life and have all the time in the world to listen to them. Now you understand why the coin I flipped landed on its' edge. I can't make up my mind. I have become my client.

The last time I bought a house my ex and I walked in saw the pool, hot tub, counted the bedrooms, made a full price offer and closed in three weeks. Done. Fast and easy decision. I rented this house in a couple of hours. Done. Fast and easy decision. And now this, I have become one of my clients and can't make up my mind on where I want to live. Am I spending too much time with buyers? Have they rubbed off on me? Do I need a shrink? Why can't I make a decision on this matter? I'm not even buying only renting.

Okay I have three weeks until I have to be out of here so I have plenty of time. I am well over half packed. Maybe something will change. Maybe one of my buyers will call me tomorrow and tell me they have made a decision and that will spur me to make one. I can't believe it I have become my clients.

Maybe I just need a vacation. I can't believe it.....I have become my client.

Ron,

There is something that stops you from making a decision, some issue that you may not realize yourself, but instinctively feel.

If you can afford d a vacation, this could be the best thing for you, as you need to trun off the guards, relax,   and when you come back you might suddenly realize why you were stopping short of signing the lease.

If both places have people to feel free to call you to whine or seek sympathy, I wouldn't be moving into either one.  If they feel free to do it now, do you really want them to be that close when you actually move in?  I would think twice and go to plan c!
