Next Time I fall In Love- Peter Cetera and Amy Grant

Next time I fall

‍

Guilty Pleasure alert. I like this song. Sorry.

Peter Cetera and Amy Grant are singing about lessons learned from failed relationships. They each come to the conclusion that the next time they fall in love, it will be with "you." Deep.

Really, this is about making the right choice. Falling in love with the right person. In relationships, that can be easier said than done.

When house hunting, it can be harder than it looks. You'll quickly realize, whether you're looking for a 2/1.5 starter house, or a 5/4 colonial to fit your new expanding family, there is an emotional component. The way to address this is to frame your search and your goals BEFORE you walk in the door. You want to be rational, until you "fall in love." Then all bets are off. Once you're in love, give it your all.

This doesn't always mean $$$. Sometimes it means being creative on terms, or stopping by and shaking hands with the owner. Sometimes it means waiving inspection, or being flexible on a closing date. Think about it from the seller's perspective. What would make YOU fall in love YOU as a buyer? Now...just do that.

If you're out of ideas, talk to your broker.
