I come from the "compulsive buyer" camp Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! so I'd go with the later more likely then then the earlier. I don't remember using the Benjamen Franklin approach in any of my RE purchases.

By culimating experience, they have more information.  A person who is buying their tenth house has more experience, therefore they know more (a synonym for more information), than a first-time homebuyer.

Some want to weight all the FACTS. Some want to see and evaluate the NUMBERS. Some must listen and value FAMILY INPUT.

Many know the house they want when they see it...love at first sight.

They buy based on how they feel driving up to the house, walking in the front door and how they feel walking throught the house. It is almost all pure emotion even though they try to act otherwise.
