Happy closing day to Shannon's client, Taylor! Shannon has known Taylor for over 15 years and has helped him buy and sell in the past. This time, he was looking for a larger home to have more space for his growing kiddos. We had to be strategic with this one -- lining up a domino effect so we could sell his previous home on the same day as this purchase. We were able to make it work and even got to loop in Tom in this one since he brought the buyer! Congratulations to all involved and welcome home, Taylor!
