Can Buying A Home Be Stressful?
Buying a home for the first time can be quite stressful. I've seen buyers cry at the signing, I've seen Sellers cry because of the memories they are leaving behind. Its a special moment in everyones life! Its a huge commitment! Not to mention alot of money too!


Sometimes, its a happy moment and other times its quite sad. Now, for the fun part looking at homes For Sale and determining if this is the best house, best neighborhood, best schools, best location can be tricky.
Buyers want the most for very little, and Sellers want the most for their Castle!

Finally, the big day has arrived and a decision is made and the Offer is written and submitted to the Sellers Agent. This is just another hair raising stressful situation of not knowing if the Offer will be accepted. Sort of like waiting to see if you are invited to the Prom or getting results from your doctor!!!! You can't sleep, you have no appetite. You feel sick until...................


YES! The offer is accepted and now its time to write a check for the Home Inspection. More money spent and you haven't even moved in yet!! Anxiously, the Buyer awaits the report to see if the house gets an A. otherwise, its money in the inspectors pocket and your lose if the inspection fails.

You get the picture; this process for the Buyer is very stressful from the starting point to the final Loan process and signing. Second thoughts about whether or not its the right thing, the right house, can I afford it are all very stressful for the Buyer. You can't change your mind now, this home is yours within 30 days!!! Your heart races and you begin to become frugal about every dollar till the signing.

The Seller is stressed just preparing the house For Sale, showing and keeping the house up daily and hoping that they get a Buyer. The Home Inspection, Mortgage approval etc. are very stressful times for Sellers awaiting the anticipated reports and calculating how much this is going to cost them.


All the while, hoping that the Buyers didn't get too excited and didn't go out and purchase new appliances and furniture so that their loan doesn't go through is a very stressful time for the Sellers. Some Sellers have had their homes quite a while and have fond memories that they are leaving behind. Although it is a happy time it is like a double edged sword and can be both a wonderful time and a stressful time.


A good Agent can help both Home Buyers and Sellers through this life changing experience so that stress is at an all time low.
