I have had so many people contact me with their FSBO homes that look great but the bond balance is high or its in the wrong spot. Wherever we land I'm sure it will be fine but it will be no bond and I hope it's an MLS home because our realtor has busted his butt for us. The other one The Villages agent not so much. Time will tell.
I imagine you've made lists of WANTS and MUST HAVES for your house hunting. How exiting it'll be to view the houses in person and see how many boxes you can check off. For instance, for us one item would be double-pane windows, both for energy savings and noise reduction. Have Fun!
