Hopefully, this year I will be writing a gleeful post detailing how we finally find our house.

It is tough sometimes to have faith that life happens as it should. You will see… the house you finally call ‘home’ will be better than any of your dreams. Let it be…

And here’s the thing – yeah, it might have been perfect, and you moved your hearts into that house, BUT if you got played and they squeezed more money out of you – just for the sake of doing it? That’s not fun to live with either. Even IN a great house.
I’ll bet the owner (who had dropped the price $100,00?) saw how much you loved it an wanted MORE.
And it probably had mice.
And a sewer problem.

ON TO THE NEXT.

keep us posted.

Remember not all realtors are evil and they do have a code of ethics – and they do not want to blow deals and create negative feelings too!
