Emotions & Escrows: How Feelings Influence Real Estate Deals

Derrick Thornton, REALTOR® Season 1 Episode 59

Buying or selling a home is more than a financial decision, it’s an emotional one. In this episode, we explore how feelings like excitement, fear, pride, and nostalgia show up during the real estate process and how they can either move you forward or hold you back. We’ll cover real examples of deals influenced by emotion, when it helps (like acting decisively) and when it hurts (like overpricing or reacting to repair requests). Tune in to learn how to stay grounded, make smart choices, and balance emotion with strategy when it matters most.
