This morning, my hubby called the realtor to apologize for the misunderstanding and relay our decision using wording we had carefully scripted together, with input from my parents, for maximum success in placating her. It seemed to work, as there were no ruffled feathers in direct evidence when they spoke. He told her we'd get back in touch when we were ready to resume searching in Maplewood, possibly looking at houses closer to the high end of our range, but that in the meantime we'd be exploring other options elsewhere, with local realtors in those areas. She was a good sport about it and told him she looked forward to hearing from us.
In the meantime, my mom kindly offered to take us into Morristown this coming Saturday afternoon and show us around so we could get a feel for it, which I'm looking forward to. We've found over and over that regardless of how good a place sounds on paper, there's no substitute for an in-person visit, so it should be interesting to see how it strikes us "in the flesh." And so a new chapter of the adventure begins!
