11. NOBODY’S GOT
TIME FOR THAT
Life can get pretty busy.
There’s hardly enough time in
a day, a week, a month, or a
year to do everything we want
and need to do.
And buying a home isn’t something you
can just ride on over to a dealership or
two, kick a few tires, play some hardball,
do some paperwork, and ride away into
the night like you can with a car.
Buying a house is a longer process, so it’s
probably not the best thing to try and do
in a rush. You want to make sure you
make a thorough, thoughtful, and
educated decision.
But if you find a good real estate agent
to work with, you can cut down on a lot
of the time, work, and effort on your
end.
And while the process may take longer
than buying a car, it isn’t like you have
to spend hours and hours and days and
days at a time on it. It’s more of a here-
and-there type of thing. Much of what
needs to get done is accomplished by
professionals working on things behind
the scenes.
So, if your main concern is that it’s
going to be a huge time suck, it doesn’t
have to be. You just need to be able to
delegate and trust others to take care
of a lot of the details once you’ve found
the house you want.
