A Letter from Your Realtor Who's Seen It All

April 10, 20252 min read

Dear Homebuyer,

I know that look!

You just walked into a perfectly staged home with gleaming counters, that little candle burning in the kitchen, and suddenly—boom. You’re picturing dinner parties, cozy nights in, and your best friend complimenting your (fake) fiddle-leaf fig.

It’s okay. You’re human. But I need you to take a breath.

Because sometimes… the house wins. Not the right house. The shiny, charming, perfectly lit one that pulls on your heartstrings while completely ignoring your needs.

Here’s how to know when your heart’s falling faster than your feet:

You forget your non-negotiables

Closet space? Gone. Parking? Whoops. You’re so smitten you’d swear you never needed a coat closet—until your coats start living on chairs.

You’re reacting to the performance

Staging is theater. And this house is serving Broadway. Appreciate the velvet pillows and artfully draped throws—but don’t let them cover up a bad layout.

You didn’t check the context

Love at first sight is great—until you realize the bedroom window faces a highway or the “charming” street is a 20-minute hike to the nearest grocery store.

You didn’t sleep on it

If the love is real, it’ll still be there tomorrow. If you wake up and start making excuses for the house? That’s your gut waving a red flag.

I’m not here to kill the vibe. I want you to fall in love with your home. But the kind of love that lasts—the one that doesn’t fade when the sunlight hits the carpet just wrong or you realize the washer is in the kitchen for some reason.

I’ll be the one in your corner saying, “I know you love it… but can we just peek at the crawl space first?”

That’s what I’m here for.

Warmly,
Margeau
Your Realtor Who’s Seen It All (and still loves helping people find their match)
