5-10 hours a week to her commute each week.
Months later, the president of one of the HOAs of one home that our real state agent was supposed to call and check on for us that fateful evening called my former wife. He said they were investigating the competency of their management group, and that he regretted that the management group never answered the call from our real estate agent inquiring about the four dogs, and that they would have loved for us to buy a home in their community. That community was 30-45 minutes closer to her work. The real estate agent didn't pay attention to the critical "must haves" for our property search and wasted an entire day of house hunting. More so, the agent conveyed that he called and the HOA would not allow 4 dogs. He lied. Lastly, and most important, that agent cost my former wife at a minimum 10 whole days of her life per year in driving time (1+ hour/day x 5+ days x 50 weeks per year, then divide by 24 hours in a day) for three years. Unforgivable. Be careful. Be smart. These horror stories are real and happen every day. Do your homework before aligning yourself with a Realtor®, pay close attention to their work ethic, attention to details, and follow through. Eyes wide open when signing paperwork, and jumping into a new home. Too many people spend more time shopping for a car than they do searching for a home — which is a much larger and more permanent investment. You have time to educate yourself, and I hope that this has helped you move forward in the right direction.
