To Buy or Not to Buy, that Is the Question Sunday, July 20th 2008
Every month, week, and day, we buy things: lunch, coffee, dinner, a magazine or newspaper, a new pair of shoes, and every now and then, a car or boat.
Most people buy things without doing much comparison shopping, but instead draw upon their past experiences. When the counter help at the nearby coffeehouse was friendly and you liked the espresso, you’ll probably go back for more the next time you need your coffee.
Sometimes purchases lead you by association to related purchases. You get coffee, for instance, and buying a pastry or cookie naturally follows. By the same token, you buy a home, and before long you have a pet and gardening gloves.
You end up being really happy with some items you purchase; others are not so good. When the items in question don’t cost you much, it’s no big deal. Perhaps you return them or simply don’t buy more in the future. But when it comes to buying a house, that kind of irresponsible shopping can lead to financial and emotional catastrophe.
If you’re not willing to invest time, and if you don’t work with the best real estate agent, you could end up overpaying for a home you hate. My goals in this website are simple: to ensure that you’re happy with the home you buy, that you get the best deal you can, and that owning the home helps you to move forward with your financial goals. call (214) 682-8888 Peter Wu
