West Hampstead Property Buyer's Remorse

Your offer has just been accepted. Congratulations--you are about to become a homeowner!

Your initial euphoria may be short-lived, however, as you begin to have second thoughts about the purchase.

First, it's the mortgage. It seems like so much money, and it will take twenty five years to pay off. You look over the cash you will need for the closing and feel like you will never be able to afford another holiday.

Finally, you stare at the Home Buyers Survey and convince yourself that the roof will blow off and the boiler will blow up the day after you move in.

You're in a frenzy. You ask yourself, "What have I done?" The best thing to do if you begin having "second" thoughts is just relax!

These feelings are so common that they have even been given a name--"Buyer's Remorse."

"Buyer's Remorse" is almost always a temporary malady, but call us if you are having an extreme attack.

We have experience in helping our clients through the home-buying jitters.

Seller's Remorse

After just a week on the market, We find you a terrific offer to purchase your house--it is less than the asking price, but more than you expected.

The buyers were reasonable and well qualified. After talking with your agent, you decide to accept the offer.

After the agent leaves, you start thinking about what you have just done and feel terrible.

You wonder if you acted too quickly--maybe you should have waited for a better offer.

You fear that the buyers will let your garden go to seed or pull down all the beautiful wallpaper that you just put up.

These fears are such a common phenomena that they have been given a name--"seller's remorse"!

It is perfectly normal to feel this way, especially if you are selling a home where you have lived for many years and which holds many memories.

"Seller's remorse" is almost always temporary. It is quickly replaced by the excitement of moving into your new home
