Buying with Attitude

Throughout my real estate career, I mostly work with Buyers. Working with so many Buyers, I can tell if the client would find his/her home in months or weeks. There are two kinds of clients in the world. The Optimistic and the Pessimistic.

The Optimistic ones are those clients who see the big pictures. Big pictures such as the equity of the property in few years and what they can do with the money, the profit from living in the property for few years and the privilege of owning a home. Small pictures such as cosmetic wall paintings, renovated kitchen with granite countertop, solid oak floors and more. Even how ugly is the place, they still see the benefit of home ownership compared from renting. On the other hand, the Pessimistic clients are those who see small and big pictures such as the color of the walls,the chip on the painting, the dirty stove and the smell of the house. They also question themselves what would happen if in a year there would be a levy or the pipe would burst, the sink would overflow and a lot more.

Are you an Optimist or a Pessimist Buyer? There's nothing wrong of what you are feeling. Real Estate purchase is a big investment and people are careful not to have extra expenses that might come up after buying a home. The first three months is an adjustment period from renting to owning. Not only after spending 1.5% closing costs in buying the property, but paying the bills and strata and property tax is a shock especially for first time buyers.

What you focus is what you attract. Do you see yourself as being the creator of what happens, or a victim of circumstances? When you see yourself as being at the effect of some cause over which you have little or no control, you feel helpless. In effect, you actually become helpless, because what ever you believe tends to manifest in reality. When you see yourself as being at effect, you automatically filter out all the possible ways you could create something different, and all the ways you have personal power. You do not see them at all. They disappear from your awareness, as if they did not exist at all.

If you think you are at effect look outside of yourself for some cause on which to blame what is happening. When you do that, such a cause will ALWAYS appear, even it isn’t really the cause. The result is that you feel helpless, and ARE helpless.

You can let the Fear overwhelmed you or you overcome Fear. And you know if you have fear, you will not move forward. You may as well be dead. Stop thinking of the worst things. Enjoy the ownership and the moments you spend in your home. Think of big pictures! Owning real estate is an Asset! Observe the people who rent all their lives and people who are owners. Who achieve great wealth? You know the answer. Happy house hunting!
