Did you ever go to see the house without your SO? My DH's hours have gotten pretty hectic so I'm going to see one by myself tonight. Is that weird? I figure if I like it which more than likely I won't, I'll go back there with him.

Re: Looking at Houses
i went with my mother instead of DH sometimes, i would definitely go by myself if there was no one to go with, DH was a real PITA during the whole process (he had no patience with the research and leg work required).
we do this a lot. i do the research and narrow down the possibilities. i present them to him and he gives his opinion. with limited time we find this works for us!

I looked at a few without my wife. If they were worth it... i would bring her back to look at it again.

Re: Looking at Houses
I worked in NYC when we were looking, so DH saw a few houses on his own, including the one we bought. He drove past a TON without me to weed them out.

Nope, it never would have worked with us. We had to see it together.

Re: Looking at Houses
yes, and we bought the house and are very happy
He went the second time to see it, the day we gave the offer.

Re: Looking at Houses
I went by myself a few times. If it was anything special, then I'd make another appointment for him to see it.

Re: Looking at Houses
I go screen them and if i like them I take him back there. After all, if I dont like it, whats the point?

Re: Looking at Houses
I would go first and bring him back if I liked it
he likes what I like- he handles the money- but I pick things out
he works more- so I do more
it's what we did with our apartment- but he didn't see it till moving day
he loved it

Re: Looking at Houses
We did that at first. But I would bring him back to something and he wouldn't like it or he would bring me back to something and I wouldn't like it. We found that we ended up wasting more time and energy by splitting up so after a bunch of houses we agreed to only see them together.

Re: Looking at Houses
actually the house that we bought, I saw with my mom...FH was away on a business trip & I made an appoinment to see it...Once he came home, we made another appoinment so he could see it! I guess I did a good job

Re: Looking at Houses
i went a few times without my FH. he doesn't have a lot of patience with those things sometimes, so i edited our list and brought him back to the ones i liked.
closing on wed!!!

Re: Looking at Houses
the house we are buying, I saw it by myself at first, then bought my FH and mom back 2 days later. I don't think it's weird to go without your DH

Re: Looking at Houses
I went without him and anything worth looking at I brought him back to see it.

Re: Looking at Houses
I did most of the research on mlsli.com first - but I only actually went to see 1 house without him because my old boss was selling hers...we were already pretty sure we wouldn't buy it though.
