After just a week on the market, we find you a terrific offer to purchase your house--it is less than the asking price, but more than you expected.

The buyers were reasonable and well qualified. After talking with your agent, you decide to accept the offer.

You wonder if you acted too quickly--maybe you should have waited for a better offer.

You fear that the buyers will let your garden go to seed or pull down all the beautiful wallpaper that you recently put up.

These fears are such a common phenomena that they have been given a name--"seller's remorse"!

It is perfectly normal to feel this way, especially if you are selling a home where you have lived for many years and which holds many memories.

"Seller's remorse" is almost always temporary. It is quickly replaced by the excitement of moving into your new home
