Falling In Love With The Wrong Home

At first sight, you can imagine yourself living there…. The long winding driveway to your gated estate, the kitchen is large and inviting; you can smell the beef tenderloin and fancy potatoes baking.  Your wife has a chilled, slightly stirred martini waiting for you as you return from a treacherous day at the office.  The children are well behaved (and well dressed) while doing their homework in the private study areas each room offers.  The Christmas tree is going to sparkle as it fits perfectly in the bay window for all the inquiring neighbors to see.  The master closet is the size of another room with separate areas for his and her.  (You would not mind hiding in there from time to time)  The paneled library with the coffered ceiling and roaring fireplace will be a place to look important while catching up on all the journals you never get to read.  And if that is not enough, there is room for expansion!

Then along the way, you lose your job, your equity and can no longer pay the mortgage!

The long winding driveway becomes longer and longer.  No more beef tenderloin and just forget about the martinis because the wife has left.  Who knows how the kids are doing, they are never around anymore.  Forget about the Christmas tree…Master closet is less cluttered; people really do buy clothes on Craig’s list.  The library is still a good place to gather thoughts and pound a head against the paneled walls. Instead of expanding, it might be time to just move one.

If this love story sounds familiar, stop pounding your head against the wall and let me help you.

Go enjoy yourself and be grateful if you have a loving family, friends and your health.

We will get through this….I will be your loving realtor!

With love…Team Holly-would
