What a nightmare!

Am I making the right decision?  Is it too small?  Did I pay too much?  Am I in the right neighborhood?  I asked myself these questions over and over again, as I recently purchased my very first home.  Many of you may know that the entire home buying experience puts some stress on even the sanest individuals.  A great deal of thought, time, and effort goes into finding and securing the perfect place.  Someone told me at the beginning of my house hunt that purchasing a home would be one of the most emotional decisions I would ever make.  I thought they were crazy until I got knee-deep into the process.  Let’s just say, I’m not a very emotional person, but I have cried on more than one occasion throughout this ordeal.  In order to keep me as sane as possible, I hired two separate so-called professionals to ensure home buying success.  I also came out of this experience with two separate satisfaction levels.  On one hand, my realtor was a first time home buyer’s dream.  She constantly communicated with me so I was always aware of where we were in the process.  I never had to be concerned with what-to-do-when because my realtor already had it done.  She made the process smooth and easy.  However, on the other end was my mortgage broker.  He was unorganized, unknowledgeable, and continued to make promises that he did not keep.  His lack of professionalism was truly nightmarish.  It made me realize how important hiring a true professional is worth.  The same concept applies to your meetings, events and parties.  Trying to plan one of these events can also quickly turn into a nightmare if you are working with the wrong people.  That is why I do what I do.  When you hold your event with me and my associates at the Holiday Inn Downtown Des Moines at Mercy Campus, you can be assured you will be working with true professionals.

Dealing with agent/broker can be sometimes a horror story. Yous should be oriented on business people, who have a good history of their activities, good referrals (real ones, not just the marketing ones!) and you have to know they are the right for you at the first sight...But it's always a bit risky
