Stager House Hunting!?!?!

We recently started house hunting for our family. With a growing family (3 girls....need more bathrooms) and a busy lifestyle we've outgrown our home.

Being a stager / designer makes it especially difficult when were looking at a house for us.

I thought I could be more objecive and look past all of the personal items and weird paint but guess what I'm looking at the houses for myself and not as a stager.

It seems that I'm just like every other buyer and wish a stager would have visited the house before us. I don't want to see dirty clothes or family pictures. I spend so much time telling clients what to do with their houses and what not to do to I forget that not everyone uses a stager.

Bottom line is I'm a worse buyer than most because I'm SOOOO picky. I'm driving everyone nut's...my realtor, my husband and myself. That's pretty bad when you drive yourself nuts....

So the hunt continues and I'm leaning towards building a custom house..................
