Calming the Fears of the Home Buying Process: Addressing Commitment

First of all, we admit it, home buying and selling is scary. You know it, we know it, and we admit it. The big question is, what are we scared of?

What are we scared of?

We have found that there are about three things that probably scare you most about buying a home.


Our hope over the next few days is that we will be able to give you some behind-the-scenes secrets that will help you deal with the 3 things that scare you most about buying a home.
So what are these three things? We have identified them as, first, cost, second, commitment, and, third, people. (We tried, but we couldn't come up with three c's.)


Second, we want to address commitment. We all know that women like to stereotype men as having a fear of commitment – but when it comes to buying a home, we’re all susceptible. Buying a home usually means committing money and time (at least a year – usually more like 5-10 years) to being in one spot.

The behind-the-scenes secret to dealing with the fear of commitment is in buying a home that will resell easily – that has features that other people will want. If you do this you will know that upon having, or just wanting, to sell your home you will have less problems.


Buying a home must up there at the top of all frightening experiences, but, the reality is, is that many of us will buy a home and do it again during our lifetime.


By giving you a these "behind-the-scenes" secrets, we hope to help you deal with the 3 things that scare you most about buying a home.
