Homes, Houses & Emotions

I help my clients through the selling process on the daily. I believe I recognize their emotions, I have a kind demeanor and an organized approach to help them achieve their home sale and home purchase. I have always recognized that it is a big life event and people can be surprised at how overwhelming of a process it is. I give them a heads up that it might be an intense process. I work hard to give them a plan with action steps that are manageable to fit their lifestyle.

And now my own family is getting ready to move. It's just short move across town. We found a home that needs some love and we've been renovating for months and the location works out well for us. The new home will be ready for us to move-in any day now... which means I should follow my own advice for preparing to move. But I've dragged my feet at all my own suggestions to get things ready. From listing our old house, to making repairs, to having photos taken. I've hemmed and hawed at doing the very things I tell my clients about all the time! 

I've come to realize that behind all the feet dragging and self imposed delays, it was an emotional attachment I had to our old house. It wasn't that I didn't want to move or do the minor repairs needed, it was the fact that moving means bringing closure to memories made in the home and dreams of future furnishings and renovations my family has spent years creating in the home. While I do this work EVERY DAY to help others, helping myself has proved more difficult. These emotions are normal and I'm giving myself grace (and a kick in the rear as needed) during this time.

To my future clients, I feel you even more now. Let's break down your game plan and work through the process together. There are new memories and life to be lived in the next home, and moving doesn't have to be overwhelming.
