Colts Neck Beauty…..Not!


864870_stupid_I was out to dinner the other night with a few of my girlfriends when our attention turned to the beautiful women whom was engaged in some heavy(PDA) public displays of affection with a man that many would say was NOT attractive.

Surely a woman of her stature would date an Adonis type male.

I had to explain to the ladies that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

There are many reasons why we may be attracted to the opposite sex. 

Who are we to say what the definition of beauty is?

690936_white_mansion_saddle_riverSame holds true in the Real Estate world.

 One of my clients recently asked me why the house down the street sold prior to her home selling?

To her surprise, the house down the street was not as beautiful as hers in her opinion and more expensive. 

Although 913716_abandoned_houseI agreed with her, unfortunately, beauty is not ours to define for others.

 To that particular buyer, the worn down home has something that sparks their interest beyond physical beauty. The inside may be more important than the outside.

Now when I hear a seller wanting to up the price because they feel their home is better, nicer or more beautiful than those listed, I quickly tell the story of the not so attractive man.

Honestly, nothing beats a dose of humility and some good CMA’s.
