Be flexible. In your monetary calculations, over-estimate by at least a thousand dollars. In this market, anything can happen between contract acceptance and closing. It could be that 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 many buyers get angry when it seems like costs just keep escalating. It is wise to choose wisely when surrounding yourself with a good team and ask the advice of your agent when choosing a mortgage company and title company and having an agent that is calm really helps keep the stress level under control for you.
Anger is caused when reality doesn't match up with the expectations. If you don't have extremely high expectations, then when things turn out fantastic you will feel much more satisified in the end.
So if you anticipate this happening in advance, you won't get angry. In fact, it'll probably go better than you expected.
