S/O How many houses do you need to look at?

I still don't know what's the big deal. If you don't like the house you can always sell it why put yourself through that. Also how are you supposed to know everything until you live their for a year.

Because if you sell after a year you likely will lose money, duh. Plus packing and moving sucks! Who wants to "put themselves through that" twice in one year? Lol.

We were also working two different tracks: either buy existing, or teardown and rebuild. Our realtor understood this very clearly. Eventually we determined that there were no homes that fit our need for under $2M and bought a teardown to rebuild on.

Your realtor must understand what you are looking for, and be ready to switch gears when needed. You need to clearly communicate this to him/her. If he fails to understand, then you need to find someone else.
