Buying an apartment is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions a person or family makes in life. But precisely at the most important moments, many buyers make decisions based on partial memory, gut feeling, or time pressure. At first, everything seemed clear. You saw one apartment, then another, then two more. In the first apartment, you liked the balcony. In the second, there was a beautiful kitchen. In the third, the price was interesting. In the fourth, the location was better. Then you get home — and everything starts to get mixed up. Which apartment was with the MMD?
Where was the parking lot in Tabu?
Which apartment had noise from the road?

In addition, there is also emotional pressure. Sometimes the owner of the apartment says that there are other interested parties. Sometimes the realtor explains that the price is flexible only this week. Sometimes one of the spouses is excited and the other is not yet sure. When all this happens at once, it is very difficult to remember all the details clearly.
