Hi Galen, buying a house or an apartment to live in is one of the most important decisions one can make. The worst memory I have of buying my apartment is the difference in criteria that my partner and I had at that time. I don't have bad memories of that move, but I do remember the renovation work that had to be done. I don't like building work at home.
It can be be such an important decision; you know, they say that selling and buying a house raises the same stresses that a death in the family does, just differently. I can attest to it as a buyer and seller and someone who operated in the industry for twenty years.
I was unaware that this type of situation was comparable, in terms of stress, to the loss of a family member. Although once I know this information, I can think that it is true, from my own experience.
Have a good afternoon.
