This is really only a post for a home buyer. And it really is only for a buyer who is buying a house with someone else, be that a significant other, a friend, or any other situation. It is just that when I have talked with people about this it has been so helpful for them that I thought it was worth sharing with all of you.
When you are out looking at houses there is only one way that you know which one to buy. It is a feeling. You get a feeling where you know that this is the one. It is really that simple, and it is really that difficult. Unfortunately, I can’t explain it better than that. I have asked countless questions of my buyers to try and figure out a better way to explain what happens, and it really just comes down to you knowing that this is the one.
Honestly, it is magical. I have watched countless people walk into a house and within 60 seconds they are overcome with joy. This is the one! Let’s make an offer. Many more times I have watched people know in 60 second that this is not the one and then spend 30 minutes trying to convince themselves it is.
Now, when buying a house with a partner you are dealing with two people who can have two totally different reactions to a house. What I would caution to stay away from is when one partner loves the house, and the other isn’t sure: don’t give in. Wait for a property where you both love it. I promise it will happen and you both will be so happy when it happens.
Why it is important that I am saying this? I am a realtor who will wait for everyone to be happy. I will not pressure one partner to get a deal together when I know that you will both be more happy (and more happy with me) if you both are excited about the house. Don’t get stuck with a realtor that is in it only for the transaction. I want to be your realtor for life. I want to make sure that you are happy, with the house and each other. Don’t you want someone like that on your team?
Call me today. You can reach me at 515.639.0047 or RyanLynch@KW.com. I am good at what I do, and I want to help you.
