Why does selling/buying homes have to be sooooo stressful???

Why can't you just sign one paper and be done with it in one day?? lol I mean I'm just driving myself crazy and I'm getting myself physically ill. We're closing on our townhome and closing on our new home the same day at the end of the month. I don't know how I'm going to survive this stress.Why does selling/buying homes have to be sooooo stressful???
I agree with you. It's because a lot of stress and big money.





My wife hates it too. The closing people can get you to sign a power of attorney to your husband and he can sign everything for you---you don't even have to show up.





If he really loves you, he'll do it for you!





We just told them that my wife was on a business trip.





It's all pretty rote so it's not a big deal.Why does selling/buying homes have to be sooooo stressful???
I have bought and sold many homes and have stressed over plenty of them..... but you don't have to if you


1. use good mortgage brokers they reduce stress


2. use an experienced agent


3. have realistic expectations the more you push things, like the small dollar, the more stress you have
So many regulations come into play when you are talking about any property. Also it is a great capital asset and the world is just spinning around it!





Know it sucks but it is part of the system and everyday life!





Hope all works out well!
Since it's probably the biggest asset you've ever dealt with in your life. I'm also in a negotiation round now so I know how that feels like. Good luck!
You will, because even tho it's stressful, it's a good stressful. Thank you for being in the market and contributing to our economy!
I'm not a someone that knows all of the ins and outs but I used to be an insurance salesman and there is a lot to buying and selling any property. I did buy a piece of property in the Bahamas once and I had to fly there in order to finalize the deal. There are taxes involved, closing costs and many many other things that have to be done to make it legal and they have to be done within a certain amount of time or the whole thing goes belly up and you have to start all over again.





Hope that helps.
