If you built your home -- or if you have made any sort of improvements to it over time -- you are likely proud of your design decisions, the style and character of your home, and so many of the finishes and fixtures you carefully and intentionally chose for your home.

But guess what... the next owner of your home might have an entirely different vision for your home... and might change some things or large things that you love about your current home.

And... that's OK!

Enjoy making your home a comfortable, enjoyable, usable, safe and happy space while you live in it -- and then know that once your home has a new owner, they might make some changes that you would have *never* (gasp!) made yourself.

And again, that's OK!

Some sellers are delighted to see what a next owner does with a house to make it their own.  Some sellers would rather never know.  Figure out which camp you're in, for the most part, and let that guide your future decisions about driving past your old home, or visiting it in the future.  :-)
