Are you buying a house or a home?

There is a huge difference between a house and a home:

A house can be a place to eat, sleep, park your car and place all your stuff. It's a material possession and an investment.

A home is where you fell comfortable, safe and protected. A home is where you live!

A house is something that you buy logically.

A home is an emotional purchase.

When you buy real estate you have to balance your emotional wants and your logical needs, because there will certainly be a time when the two conflict.

When viewing a house most people look at it emotionally and envision it as a safe, happy and comfortable home. Later when making an offer or filling out a mortgage application, your logic may begin to kick in instead. That's when buyer's remorse may come up.

The trick in buying real estate is to view all decisions with both, a logical and an emotional perspective.

You will find yourself owning a warm, happy, safe home and an investment for the future at a price you're willing to pay.

Hi Taiane, Haven't seen you for awhile, I hope that means you have busy making money.

When I am talking to sellers I always use the word house and I always use the word home when talking to buyers. It really does make a difference.

Yep Bryant,

I've been away for the past month, went on vacation to Brazil for a month. But now I'm back on business!

Good to have you back.

Hello Taiane, nice words.  Im new to active rain (and to Orlando!), and I wanted to say hello neighbor! 

I know I'm a little late posting on your post but it's good to see you again. You were and Jonathan were my two favorite newbies back a few months ago. Hope all is well for you!
