Buying a home is one of life’s biggest milestones but let’s be honest, it also comes with plenty of moments that will make you laugh or cringe a little. If you’re house hunting, you’ve definitely said at least a few of these!

How many of these classic lines have you caught yourself saying?

“It looked bigger in the photos!”
Ah yes, the magic of wide-angle lenses. That living room you thought would fit two sectionals? Turns out it’s more of a “cozy nook.”

“We’ll know it’s the one when we see it.”
Like a soulmate, but with more paperwork.

“Can we just knock down this wall?”
If I had a dollar for every time I heard this on a tour... I’d be retired and living in my own open-concept dream home.

“What’s that smell?”
Basement? Mystery pet? Unexplained dampness? It’s a choose-your-own-adventure every time.

“This is over budget…but look at that kitchen!”
Your budget says no. Your heart says farmhouse sink.

“Multiple offers? Again??”
A classic summer-market heartbreak. Don’t worry, your agent is here with ice cream and strategy.

“My parents/friend/cousin/roommate/neighbor's uncle says…”
Nothing like a Greek chorus of helpful opinions.

“Can we write a letter to the seller?”
Sorry to break this to you, but some sellers don't want them.  Focus on making a strong offer. 

“We’ll sleep on it.”  Next day: it's gone!
Sometimes you snooze, you lose. Literally.

“Did you say foundation issue?”
The fastest way to turn a dream home tour into a horror movie.

Buying a home is full of these moments.  Some funny, some frustrating, but all part of the story you’ll tell one day. The good news? You don't have to go through it alone.
