Relocate With Jen

Update from the Agent that attempted Career Suicide for a First Time Buyer

Thank you again for the tremendous response to my Agent Attempt Career Suicide for 1st Time Home Buyer-- ( aka My husband) I know is has been a long time the closing happened back in July!  Moving and Getting settled took longer than expected.  I will post some pictures once the house is more presentable to the web-world. 

Buying a first home as a newlywed -- is not as easy as you would think. There have been many ups &downs and I continue to learn every stepof the way.  Most importantly, I realize why ever buyer gets a little buyer's remorse-- It is just impossible to notice everything at a showing.  There are hidden living expense that you try to plan for but still more turn up.  ( eating out while moving, TP, Turning on/off stuff, paint etc)  My mom has always considered a home a never ending masterpiece and I am beginning to understand why?!- The more I am in my new home I learn or notice something new. 

 Can You Really Notice Everything?
