Home buying really is a beautiful blend of compromise, but there are some items for which every person will have firm standards. {Iron solid – will not budge}. Me personally? It’s a door going to the back yard (note that is two items), and the need to not being able to hear toilets flushing. Everyone has something, it could be big or small, but if you KNOW you cannot get over it SPEAK UP. Sometimes a magic compromise materializes, but most of the time it doesn’t. Be honest with yourself and your real estate agent!
