When buying, are you open minded?

Many buyers end up buying exactly the opposite of what they had originally thought they wanted. When buying, are you open minded?

As a Real Estate agent I always conduct an initial consultation with a prospect buyer to understand his/her priorities. That first meeting helps me to understand the client’s price range, needs and wants; this provides me with a guideline to find the right property. I also know that those parameters can and often change.

I have had families who said there was absolutely no way they would buy a “split entry” home and Guess what, they ended up buying a split entry home. They also have stated that they did not want an older home but actually purchased a remodeled older home. One couple stated they would only consider a home in Seattle but ended up buying in Everett. Some would only want hardwood floors but bought a home with carpet; later they installed their own hardwood. 

Buying a home is a process, it takes an initial plan but it also takes an open mind to consider possibilities that may actually benefit you in ways you may not have even considered. 

So, when buying a home, do yourself a favor and try to keep an open mind. It’s OK to change your mind during the home buying process. Remember the ultimate goal is your 100% satisfaction.
