Chic vs. Geek: Buyer fatigue — or exhaustion?

Even the most patient people get worn down by the real estate market. How can homebuyers avoid burnout?

CHIC (PEARL)

First thing’s first: Know what you want and have a plan. If you don’t stick to a clear vision and price range, you’ll get stuck stressing over the details, and you might miss out on some great opportunities. And don’t get lost in a sea of listings. Pick your top targets and focus your energy on them.

GEEK (KEVIN)

Just like pro athletes, you have to dig deep and find that second and third wind to get to the end of your real estate journey. When it comes to keeping your eyes on the prize, it’s important to have a partner in the journey who you can trust — whether it’s your agent or your friend. We try to be both.
