Being Indecisive
"No one's saying you shouldn't take your time when
finding the right house. You should. In fact, take all the time you need. Don't let your
broker bully you into making a decision before you're ready to do it. Ask to see five,
ten, twenty, or fifty homes if you haven't found one you love. The problem with
indecisiveness is finding a home you would like to live in, but being afraid of making the
commitment. First-time buyers often lose two or three homes because they can't bring
themselves to actually make the offer. Or there might be two wonderful properties, a tough
choice. If you're afraid, admit that fear and conquer it by talking with your broker.
You're not the only first-time buyer who's had trouble making up his or her mind.
Remember, others have trod this way before."
