They said yes. The house said “not yet.” (spoiler: they got the keys last week 🔑🥹)
L & J, newly engaged and now officially homeowners, came into my life at one of my listings this spring. A few emails later I got the question every REALTOR® dreams of: “Will YOU be our REALTOR?” (Yes. Obviously. Tears were shed. Moving on.)
We searched. We viewed. We didn’t rush, because they knew what they wanted. Then we found THE one, wrote an offer in multiple offers... and didn’t get it. 💔
But we were offered the back-up position. As first-time buyers, they had questions, like “wait, so we lose but we also kind of don’t?” Yep. That’s exactly it. And it didn’t mean we stopped looking. So we kept searching, and they kept hoping (quietly, with snacks).
YES, they still wanted it. 😭
Last week, L & J got the keys to their first home together. I could not be more proud. Thank you for trusting me with such a big moment. I can’t wait to see how you make it yours. 🏡❤️
If you’re a first-time buyer wondering whether it’ll ever be your turn, sometimes it’s all about strategy, patience, and having someone in your corner who knows how to play the back-up game. Your keys could be next. 👀
