Winning the race can make you happy.  So can many other things.  What about finding the home you've always dreamed about having?  Yes, I would think that ranks up there pretty high.   And what does it take to find this dream home?  Patience, hard work, money, and often the help of a qualified REALTOR® who listens to you, knows the market inside and out, and has the dedication it takes to make things happen.  Then you'll have a smile on your face too.
