Buying a house is a stressful process that doesn’t get easier with time. This is the 3rd house I’ve purchased and each has been a trying process. The first and most recent purchases were much better than the second. Lydia handled the third. When things got tense, she was there to defuse the situation. When the purchase looked to be going sideways, she was the calming influence. She knows the market and knows the people involved. She is able to suggest professionals who came through time and again.
Even though I’ve purchased two other houses, things in the real estate business are always changing. What was true 25 years ago in New Jersey are not necessarily applicable today. What was true 16 years ago in Hawaii are not necessarily applicable today. The things I didn’t know were staggering. Fortunately, Lydia did know. And I was glad that she was on my team.
