It was the best of times. It was the… “Wait, you want what in the kitchen?” of times.

Let’s talk about one of the most fascinating dynamics in real estate:

Two buyers. One home. Two very different visions.

You’d think we were house hunting for two separate families.

One wants a pool. The other wants zero maintenance.

One dreams of open concept. The other? “We need walls. And doors. Lots of doors.”

One is obsessed with natural light. The other? “Why are there so many windows?”

Don’t even get me started on carpet vs. hard floors, white kitchens vs. dark wood, or the great gas vs. electric stove debate.

Welcome to A Tale of Two Wish Lists

Where compromise is an art form, and my job is part detective, part therapist, part strategic negotiator of backsplash tile. I’ve literally been told I saved a marriage….

Here’s the thing:

It’s normal. When two people, or more, are buying a home together, they’re bringing two different histories, visions, and ideas of “home” to the table. And it’s my job to help everyone feel seen and heard… while gently steering the ship toward what actually matters most.

Because at the end of the day?

It’s not really about the cabinet color. It’s about lifestyle. Flow. Function. Comfort. It’s about how you live in the home, not just how it looks on Zillow.

So yes, you may start the process feeling miles apart in your wants. You may have a few spirited debates in the driveway after a showing. You may even walk into a house where one of you lights up and the other looks like they just walked into a Home Depot nightmare.

But eventually… magic happens.

You start to align. You start to listen.

And together, we find the home that reflects who you’re becoming, not just what you thought you needed on Day One.

And me? I’ll be there through all of it.

With patience.
With humor.

And with a very organized showing schedule that tries its best to check all the boxes. Yours, theirs, and the ones you didn’t know you had.
