Remove the word "if" in real estate

Remove the word "if" in real estate

Why do we, if ourselves, all the time? If I had done that or said that, and on and on it goes, remove it in real estate if you can.

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard the following.

  •  Do you see that house on the corner? If I had bought it when I first saw it, I would have made a fortune! 

  • If only I had chosen a fixed-rate mortgage instead of a variable-rate mortgage.

  • If only I had put up my house for sale last year instead of 2 months ago!

  • If I had seen that last week, I could have bought it. Now it is sold. I loved it!

  • That was a reasonable price if I had only been ready!

  • If I could only get my wife, husband, parents, children, guru, mentor, lover, minister, or cat to agree, I would have done it!

  • If all the stars align, if a full moon, and if the cows come home, I would change.

 If I stand in that checkout line, I if myself as well. Will it be quicker than the others? If I don’t work out this morning, what are the consequences? If I do this, if I do that?

  I read that iffing is an average human (emotion) (reaction) (call for help) (uncertainty) or all of those.

 I do not have the answer, but I vow not to use the word if today! 

If I remember!
