Remembering to Enjoy a Property Search!

Remembering to Enjoy a Property Search!

My boss has been keeping me posted on a property search she and her husband have been doing as an investment/vacation home. Certainly, in taking such a step, one wants to make sure of doing the right thing, in the best way possible. In hearing about their experiences and their considerations, however, it eventually occurred to me that it sounded like pressure was building up, along with worries and doubts. So the next time she mentioned the topic, I took the liberty of reminding her that the process should also be enjoyable, to the extent that it can be, at least as an underlying motivation! She stopped and thought for a second and then burst out laughing, saying, "You're right! We got so caught up in the seriousness of it all that we forgot why we're doing this in the first place!…which is to have a second home to call our own and enjoy, as well as potentially rent out for supplemental income for certain periods…all, in fact, good things!" She rang up her husband and they had a good laugh together too. She said they've been feeling more relaxed about their whole approach, and it has made their communication and experience in this venture less stressed, as well as allowed their confidence to build back up. I was glad I shared by observation.
