All I Want For... Bringing Reality To Your Search For A House

All I want for Christmas is.....  Over the weekend I had the opportunity to spend time with some of the younger members of the extended family.  As they tore apart the Black Friday ads for toys and games I heard "I want this!" and "Can I have that?" many times over.  I remember the innocent joy of wanting everything I saw in the catalogs.  I wanted it all but I did not expect it.  I was prepared ahead of time by my parents to know that Santa could not possibly bring everything I wanted.  A little dose of reality saved me from tears Christmas morning.  

Sometimes, when I am starting a home search with clients, I feel like they have just pulled out the Christmas Catalog and started checking something on every page.  Of course we want everything but unless you have an unlimited budget and unlimited time to search you will not get everything.  Just as my parents did years ago with my Christmas list, I have to help the buyers narrow the list to those things that are vital, those things they would hope to find, and those things that they can live without.  It can be disappointing to them to hear but it is needed if they are going to #1 find something at all and #2 actually be able to afford the property once they find it.  

The value in hearing this message is huge for home buyers.  Having someone to help you sort through the options and find the best choice for you is one of the major advantages to working with a Buyer's Representative.  Finding the right home for you is so much more than searching the Internet and making an offer.  Let a Buyer's Agent prepare you for reality and your experience with realty will be positive in the end.
