1 Set realistic expectations

One of the keys to keeping your motivation and enthusiasm high is to set realistic expectations from the start. Don't expect to find your dream home in a day, or to get the first offer you make accepted. Be prepared to compromise on some features, location, or price, and to negotiate with sellers and agents. Also, be aware of the current market conditions and how they affect your chances of finding and buying a home. For example, if you are in a seller's market, you may have to compete with other buyers and offer more than the asking price. On the other hand, if you are in a buyer's market, you may have more options and leverage to get a better deal.

2 Celebrate small wins

Another way to keep your motivation and enthusiasm high is to celebrate small wins along the way. For example, you can celebrate when you get pre-approved for a mortgage, when you find a home that meets your criteria, when you make an offer that gets accepted, when you pass the inspection and appraisal, or when you sign the contract. Celebrating small wins can help you feel more confident and optimistic, and remind you of the progress you are making. You can also reward yourself with something you enjoy, such as a nice dinner, a movie night, or a spa day.

3 Lean on your support system

Buying your first home can be overwhelming and emotional, so it's important to lean on your support system for guidance and encouragement. Your support system can include your family, friends, co-workers, or anyone who can offer you advice, feedback, or empathy. You can also rely on your real estate agent, who is your professional ally and advocate in the home buying process. Your agent can help you navigate the market, find suitable homes, make competitive offers, negotiate with sellers, handle paperwork, and resolve issues. Your agent can also provide you with referrals to other experts, such as lenders, inspectors, appraisers, or attorneys, who can assist you with different aspects of the transaction.

Always pick an agent who has your best interest at heart. Because when they decided to sell their house and it does not sell they wonder why I sold it to them.

4 Learn from challenges

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, things don't go as planned in the home buying process. You may face challenges such as losing out on a home you loved, having your offer rejected, discovering major defects in the inspection, or having your financing fall through. Instead of letting these challenges discourage you or make you give up, try to learn from them and use them as opportunities to improve your strategy. For example, if you lose out on a home, you can ask your agent for feedback on why your offer was not successful, and what you can do differently next time. If you have your offer rejected, you can look for other homes that are within your budget and match your needs. If you find problems in the inspection, you can negotiate with the seller for repairs or credits, or walk away from the deal if they are deal-breakers.

5 Keep your eye on the prize

Finally, the best way to keep your motivation and enthusiasm high is to keep your eye on the prize: owning your first home. Remember why you started this journey in the first place, and how much it means to you to achieve this milestone. Think about the benefits of homeownership, such as building equity, having more space and privacy, personalizing your space, and enjoying tax advantages. Visualize yourself living in your new home, and how it will enhance your lifestyle, happiness, and well-being. Keeping your eye on the prize can help you overcome any obstacles and challenges, and keep you motivated and enthusiastic until you reach your goal.

In my experience, most buyers will buy the first house I show them. This scares them so we will proceed with looking for at least 5 others hopefully when they realize I was right the first is still available.

I have been in Real Estate for over 32 years. The way the industry has changed most new agents tend to join a “group” because they feel new agents need a leader and they will follow. Actually, it is the complete opposite. As a new agent, you must jump at any opportunity and learn on your feet and if you have any questions that need to be asked. you have to run and hide in the corner and make a quick call to your broker. Make it back while they are still in your open house and answer them.
