Last week I successfully negotiated a sale (which took four days), showed two clients home, prepared two market assessments and Lisa and I co-hosted four open houses.  I was worrying about how I would get everything accomplished.  I then got over myself and realized my clients who are in the midst of escrows and moving are the ones with the stress.

Moving to a new home can be a wonderful experience, especially if the move is to your first home or to a larger or better home.  But don’t doubt for one minute that moving is stressful; in fact moving is ranked as of one of life's top three stressful events. 

Wikipedia’s list of top stressful events:

1. Divorce / breakup
2. Bereavement
3. House moving
4. Losing job
5. Wedding planning
6. Work
7. Kids / Family
8. Debt
9. Commuting
10. Studying for exams

Was it just two years ago, that Natalie planned a wedding and bought her first home? Then last year she topped it off with a baby.
