Condo Shopping

I am still busy condo shopping. Last night I was out with my agent and we figured out I have been looking for 7 months. And nothing. It has to be renovated. It is too small. It has no outdoor space. There's no outhouse. I have a reason for everything that I have seen to not buy it.

I think the biggest challenge that I face when condo shopping is that I am happy. I sit here on my couch. A fire going at my feet. A gorgeous skyline that is currently being blanketed in snow outside my loft window. A glass of red wine. Jann Arden playing. Working on my book. Work is amazing right now. Have some really cool friends. I just can't see a reason to make a change right now. Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy exactly where you are at. I think I need to continue enjoying being exactly where I am at. I think I need to stop condo shopping for a while.

But I must say that I have the most amazing real estate agent ever. First all of he had no idea how long I have been looking. It's cool he doesn't measure the experience that way. You don't meet many agents like that. He has been unbelievably patient. He allowed me to express my concerns about each place and agreed, after all it is my decision. But he also isn't quiet either. He had the gift of knowing when to give input on a place to see it in a slightly different way. Basically he is so real and honest. If you ever need a real estate agent his name is Roy Runions. Run, don't walk.
