What is a home, really? I believe that it’s the place where you, and your family live the life that you design. We are the architects of our lives – everything – from our most painful failures to our most celebrated successes are the results of our own choices and circumstances.
So the selection, location, furnishing and design of the home that we ultimately choose creates the environment from which we have the potential to soar… or not. Environment – and intention is very powerful in our lives.
And so, the way we approach finding and purchasing that home is also vitally important. Many homebuyers, in their excitement will charge out into the marketplace, visit open houses – see all of the lovely choices…and some not so lovely choices, and soon become overwhelmed by the options, conflicting, and often unreliable information, and questionable “guidance”.
Every step along the way, we as consumers must question the guidance of our agent: “Is my agent concerned enough about my well-being to walk away from an easy sale?” My clients question me – and my motives – as they should. I’d like to think that they find the answer to that question to be, without exception, that I have their best interests at heart, at all times.
There is a better way to approach finding an agent, rather than allowing “fate” to choose some random agent we stumble into. While not every real estate professional that you meet along your journey will have your best interests at heart, rest assured – there are plenty who do. Finding a real estate consultant with deep experience, patience, and the right mind-set to give you the time, and room you need to explore your ideas, dreams and desires, then guide you to the options, based upon actually listening to what your heart is saying….well, that’s a relationship worth its weight in gold, and one that is worth cultivating with the right fit for an agent.
Finding the correct environment that will become the birthplace of your own personal dreams is one of the most important things you will do for your family. It doesn’t have to be a struggle, or a frustrating, uphill climb. Give me a call – If I am not in a position to help you directly, I’ll guide you to someone who will.
Happy Home Hunting!
