I find the whole house buying process in the states facinating. I'm a mortgage adviser in UK so work within an estate agents office mostly (real estate).

Things are so different, yet similar at the same time.

The idea that one person can control a whole town seems crazy and the way deals are made is strange. I remember chatting to a guy about when I was in the states and it seemed like hard work to buy.

But congrats mate, enjoy your gift. Your doing well so far with being sensible.
