Upsizing rules I’m pretty sure someone just made up.
Because nobody can tell me where these came from, and worked with people where turned things out fine.
“Rule number one: you should be thankful for what you have even though you’re going crazy. Yes, you should be thankful for what you have but you don’t need to go crazy. There is a better way. I find once people start digging into the numbers and taking steps toward getting a bigger house. It’s not as hard as they once thought
Rule number two: It’s going to be too expensive to do. I had somebody that came into an open house once and said this exact thing. When their lender ran the numbers, the new house was almost the same price as the current one.
Rule number three: I one I hear all the time: I’ll never get my spouse or kids to get on board to help get all the stuff out or need to do & organized — a lot of times they are actually surprised once they make the decision to move, and they start looking at the possibilities for their next place. Then the whole family gets excited and motivated to do what needs to be done in order to move to the next house.
I think where all these myths started is someone said this once, and it sounded like it made sense & everyone just kept repeating it but no one checked to see if it was true.
What’s actually true is once people have all the numbers & information in front of them, the next step becomes very clear, and once it’s clear, they can see the possibilities. Then the pieces start to fall in place.
So save this for the next time someone tries to tell you one of these is true and send this to the person you think needs to hear it most to get them into action. 🤗
