Being a First Time Homeowner Is Like Being a First Time Parent.
I remember when my husband and I were expecting our baby girl. Everyone had an opinion on what to expect and offered us all kinds of advice… most of it preparing us for the worst. The same was true when it came to buying a house. While we didn’t share with too many people that we were buying, everything we’d heard up until this point described everything that could go wrong during the purchasing process.
Most of the harsh truths we’d heard about never came to pass. Our home buying experience, just like our parenting, has been unique to us. And this isn’t to say it wasn’t without its challenges… they just weren’t the challenges anyone ever brought up.
In summary: no two experiences are the same, so I am glad we didn’t get jaded from all the negative experiences we’d heard about.
