Actually, Get Attached

You’ve probably heard it before—
“Don’t get too attached.”
“Keep your emotions out of it.”
“Treat it like a business decision.”

But here’s the thing: when it comes to finding your home? I say—get attached.
Get obsessed. Get Pinterest-board-excited. Get doom-scroll, imagining your furniture in the living room kind of attached.

❤️ Emotional Attachment Isn’t Weak—It’s Human

Yes, buying a house involves money, inspections, contracts, and due diligence. But pretending it’s only about numbers? That’s just not realistic.

You’re choosing the place where:

• You’ll sip your morning coffee while the sun hits the kitchen window just right

• You’ll read stories to your kids under a blanket fort

• You’ll decorate for the holidays, ugly inflatable snowmen and all

• You’ll cry, laugh, grow, rest, live

If that’s not worth getting attached to, what is?

💡 The Trick Isn’t Avoiding Attachment—It’s Managing Expectations

Look, I’m not saying go rogue and throw your entire budget out the window because the guest bathroom has cute tile.
But I am saying it’s okay—healthy, even—to feel something when you walk into a space that feels right.

In fact, when a client tells me, “I don’t know why, but this one just feels like home…” That’s when I really start getting excited.

🧠 Yes, Be Smart. But Also, Be Real.

There’s a sweet spot where heart meets head:

• 💸 Get pre-approved so you know your limits

• 🕵️‍♀️ Ask questions and get a solid inspection

• 📝 Make informed decisions—but trust your gut, too

Because while spreadsheets are useful, they won’t tell you how a home makes you feel at 7PM on a rainy Tuesday when you finally get to exhale.

🪴 Get Attached to the Right Things

It’s okay to get attached to:

• A backyard where your dog can run free

• A cozy living room to host girl’s nights

• A window seat that was basically destined to be your reading nook

It’s even okay to mourn a home if it doesn’t work out. (Real estate heartbreak is a thing. I’ve seen it. I’ve felt it.)

📣 So Here’s Your Permission Slip: Fall in Love

Real estate advice often tells you to toughen up.
I say—stay soft. Be smart, but don’t shut down the part of you that gets excited. That’s the part that knows when something feels like home.

So yes, actually—get attached.
