🏡 JUST SOLD | 2760 Ugugu Drive

This one was a fun one! This super charming, rustic cabin has officially closed, and I’m excited for both sides of this deal!

Stephanie and Chris are off to South Carolina to start their next chapter, and I couldn’t be happier for them! On the other side, Jennifer and JT came down from Charlotte and are ready to make this cabin their own. I’ve already gotten them connected with a roofer and contractor, and they’re ready to hit the ground running!

That’s one of my favorite parts of this business — helping good people through big transitions and making sure they have the connections they need even after closing.

Congrats to Stephanie & Chris, the sellers, and Jennifer & JT, the new owners! Thank you all for trusting me to be part of the journey! 🏡
