House Hunting

By
Real Estate Agent with H2 Properties

Have any of you agents found it hard house-hunting for yourself?  While looking at houses around Lake Norman in our price range, I have found myself comparing these houses to more expensive homes I have shown or visited during a broker Open House or luncheon.

I think we may have finally found one we like, if the sellers will come down on price. Before this one though, I have ended up being way more picky than my wife - and she is the picky one!

Some of the houses have tiny kitchens, but awesome master baths.  Some have decent kitchens, and tiny yards.  I think only ONE was everything we wanted, but we still had ideas for changing things.  I just think that if I did not sell real estate, I would love nearly all of the homes we have viewed!

Surely you have worked with picky buyers? I fell in love with my current home as I stepped over the threshold. I was not picky at all!

CJ-- I think I am the worst when hunting for myself.  I've done 3 remodels and one new construction.  It took so long to make the decision on all but one of them!  But boy, I've learned a lot!

CJ,

I looked for a new home for 5 YEARS!  Finally I built my own and even then it still is not PERFECT!  It does not exist, you always have to compromise on something!

My problem is that I DO love every house I visit.  I used to bring my husband back to see them all.  I guess I see things I like when I look; something like the cup being half full.

It's  great profession...and it's okay to be picky.
