Love At First Sight

Is it okay to buy the first home that you see?

You might find this surprising, but many of my clients end up buying the first home that they see. That's not to say that we only look at one house for sale. Sometimes we look at twenty or more homes, before the decision is made to go back and buy that first house.

You keep comparing that first home to all the rest, and that first house keeps coming back to you as the best house.

A good point to remember is that you probably started out looking at homes on the Internet. You checked your criteria against the thousands of homes available for sale in your search area.

From the thousands of homes for sale, we narrowed it down to your top choices. So we've already eliminated thousands of homes for sale. Now we have a short list of homes that fit your needs and your personal taste. From there, we go out and actually look at the homes.

It's okay to trust your gut feeling about the house you want to buy. And it's normal to feel a little nervous. But we have checks and balances in place for you in the written sales contract. We have to get through the attorney approval, the home inspection, the mortgage and appraisal approval.

Like the best man at the wedding, it's part of my job when you're nervous, to let you know it's okay. One of the best parts of my job is helping people find the right house.
