One of my favorite times is when my customers, aka my homebuyers, bring their families to see their new apartment for the first time.

Of course, some buyers bring a consensus-building approach to their purchases, bringing lots of family members to the property before they choose to proceed.

Many others, however, leave their families out of the decision process.

School-age children, nosy parents, siblings, you name it.

They only get to see the apartment right before closing, or even afterwards.

And there have been many times when I get to witness when those people are seeing this new home with new eyes.

Kids react in a million different ways.

Parents are more careful.

Siblings are more supportive.

In this month’s video I also was reminded when my own children saw what was going to be their new apartment, before it was renovated.

I had to laugh, as they asked whether we would be painting the apartment “a little” before we moved in.

We were about to do a gut renovation to this apartment, which hadn’t seen a paintjob in more than 50 years- so of course…

Enjoy.
