41 Things Every Agent NEEDS In Their Car Kit
As a real estate professional, you’ve got to be like Mary Poppins — prepared for anything and everything. Of course you need pens and your
Searching for the perfect home can feel like trying to find a four-leaf clover in a field full of three-leaf clovers. It’s as rare to find a property that checks all the boxes on your wishlist, as it is to find a true four-leaf clover.
But even if you find a four-leaf clover, there’s a chance nature made it a little less than perfect (or someone trampled over it). Perhaps one of the leaves has a little tear in it. Or maybe it’s not as green as you might have hoped. But it’s still a four-leaf clover! Pluck that thing and consider yourself lucky!
The same goes for your dream home. Even if a house isn’t perfect in every way, that doesn’t mean it isn’t the perfect house for you!
Let’s take a look at 6 ways finding your dream home is like finding a four-leaf clover, to help prepare you to be the luckiest buyer in the field the next time you’re searching for a home:
When you first start your home search, it can seem like you’re looking out at a vast field of green grass. From afar, it’s certainly impossible to find a four-leaf clover, or your dream home. It helps to narrow down the area you’re looking for, and then look through all of the options, knowing that most of them won’t be what you’re looking for.
Can you imagine how absolutely lucky you’d have to be to sit down in the grass and happen to find a four-leaf clover? Neither a house or a four-leaf clover is likely to just appear in front of you if you’re not actively looking for one. You need to get out in the field and look if you want to increase your odds of finding either!
Much like patiently combing through clover patches until you find the elusive four-leaf clover, persistently searching for your dream house eventually leads to success. You can’t give up until you find what you’re looking for.
Picture looking for a four-leaf clover all alone in a field. Having some help would certainly make it easier to cover a lot more ground. But when it comes to real estate, it’s even more important to have a second set of eyes! Make sure you work with an eagle-eyed real estate agent with a knack for knowing where to look, and what to look for, if you want to find your dream home. Otherwise you could easily spend a lot of time looking in the wrong places, and overlooking the perfect home even if it’s right in front of your eyes.
Four-leaf clovers are rare, and so are houses that meet most (if not all) of your requirements. When you finally come across one, don’t walk away. Don’t sleep on it. If it’s a four-leaf clover you’d certainly pick it, because you know you may never be able to find it again, and someone else might come along and pluck it right out from under you. If it’s a house, make an offer and get it under contract, before another buyer comes along and does it before you do.
If you found a four-leaf clover, you’d certainly be showing it off to people. So imagine how much more you’ll want to show people your dream house! Whether it’s a humble home that needs some work, or a mansion, take pride in sharing your home with friends and family, because it takes a lot more than luck to buy your dream home.
