Don't Miss Your Perfect Home

I help about 25-30 buyers and sellers every year find their new home in the Greater Austin area and every year I have two or three clients who find a home that they feel very strongly about owning--but then they hesitate. They want to think about it for a few days or a few weeks. Suddenly, the house is gone. Sold to someone else. Often times someone who was looking at the home the day before my client saw the home.

The natural reaction, at first, is to think "Well, it was just not meant to be...". And that may be so, but if the buyers were still content that they lost that home a month or two down the road, I don't think it would continue to weigh heavy on their minds. So very often when this happens buyers continue to ask "What about that house...did it sell?" or "We still have not found anything that compares to that home. We will just have to keep looking." It is a conundrum.


In a fast moving market like we are seeing again this year in Greater Austin, some times you have to pretend like you are playing football. You are the wide receiver. On some plays you are the designated receiver. Some plays you are not. Either way, the ball may end up coming your way! You never know. You just have to be ready to catch it and "run like hell" when it does. You will know it when it happens to you. You will feel it in your bones, but if you hesitate--you may end up watching someone from the other team score with your intended ball. Yes, sometimes it may be meant for you...make sure you are ready when you find the ball in your hands. 

If you are looking for a home in the Austin area...give me a call. Let's Talk. Tim Thornton, Realtor ®, Austin, Texas.
