I just have to get past the guilty feeling. You know the one where I can benefit from someone else's misfortune? I realize that that's the way the economy works in a way, one person's gain is someone's loss, but I have that nagging guilt still.
But I have to tell you this: looking at purchasing real estate is an education in itself. The amount of information that is out there is truly daunting. And being the frugal consumer, I am avoiding a real estate agent. Of course, that's really not just the frugal part of me talking, that's also the person that walks into a store and sees the salesperson walking straight toward me and I turn around and walk back out. I like to browse in my own time, my own way. I don't want someone (other than my better half of course) jabbering in my ear asking me what I am looking for or what do I think of this or that.
This is going to be an adventure.
