I loved TV 4 years ago when I visited a friend for the first time. She had been renting various villas for 3 years prior and had finally decided she was ready to buy, so we went to open houses every day. She ended up buying a small 3/2 cottage style house. During those open house experiences, I began to develop very strong feelings about models I liked and those I didn't. Last spring I came to visit again to see what she had done with her house and get a better sense of how I
reallyfelt about neighbors so close and other concerns. We went to more open houses, and by day 3 I had pretty much decided I needed more space around my house and TV wasn't for me. Then we were invited to a party at a house overlooking a pond and golf course - Eureka! - I went home and sold our house overlooking the Chesapeake Bay in one day!!! Having looked online for houses with water/golf views in our price range, I sent my friend to scout them out, made a purchase offer and ultimately bought the house we've been in since Sept. Couldn't be happier
