How to Get Over the Home that Got Away

In this competitive seller's market, buyers find themselves frequently bidding against other buyers. But only 1 person can win the bid. If you're one that didn't win the bid, how can you deal with that disappointment?

3) Don't lower your standards
4) Re-evaluate your budget
5) Talk to your agent
