Being in business for years I've had many clients "miss out" on their "perfect" home. Sometime they offer too little and get outbid, other times they fiddle around while someone else moves on the home. Recently I had clients miss out on two homes because the sellers were unwilling to move on price. That is a big mistake on the seller's part in this market. My client was smart enough to move on and find another home. With all the homes on the market right now, this is easy to do, and yes, they found a home they liked even better! I have never had a client lose a home they loved and not find one they loved even more. A current client may break my record but I hope not. Lesson is, be patient, there are many homes on the market and more coming every day. Don't fall in love with one particular home and you will be a better buyer.
