Cynthia Cummins sells houses in San Francisco. It’s arguably the most daunting real estate market in the U.S., where winning a 900 square-foot, 2 bedroom condo means coughing up $1.2 million in cash and doing battle with five other buyers for that dubious honor. It’s a pressure cooker where commerce and human emotions collide, and in her 30 years spent swimming in that soup, Cynthia has gained a lot of wisdom about the psychology of seeking shelter.
Buying or selling property is a focus for the manifestation of every desire, neurosis, dream or value a human being can possess. And real estate is, first and foremost, about home and its deepest meaning. It’s not merely a transaction. It’s a transition. And – if you’re lucky – it offers a chance for transformation and healing.
Her popular blog RealEstateTherapy.org explores the rich and complex narrative behind every home sale and reveals the ideas and guidelines that can make the experience a rewarding, life-affirming journey.
