My clients (friends from church) and I were laughing at their closing last Friday because we couldn't remember when we had started our journey to find their new home. We knew it was during COVID, but none of us could remember if it was in '20 or '21. They asked me if they were my longest client ever and I said, "Not at all!!" I proceeded to tell them that I spent 9 years with a buyer looking for her next home! A little different than on HGTV where buyers see 3 houses and pick one! Anyway, these clients knew exactly what they were looking for and we looked until we found it...and then had to pray that we could get the home under contract in this tough seller's market. We did and last Friday we completed our 5-6 year journey together. I am so happy for my friends as they have now closed on their former house in Ellisville (the 1st house) and their new house in Chesterfield (the 2nd house)!

I recently had the pleasure of working with a very special friend from church, Nancy, as she was ready to downsize to a villa that would work for her and her husband, Bill. Nancy had been Jon's and my supervisor at church many, many years ago (like 25-30) when we worked in the nursery and then she led several Bible studies I did at church. So, I loved the opportunity to work with Nancy since I have always thought the world of her! The neatest thing happened when we walked into the villa that she ended up purchasing. On the wall was a silver platter that was engraved with the previous owners' names, which just happened to be Nancy and Bill! Nancy had already fallen in love with the villa, but this was further proof that this villa was meant to be their next home. Of course, there were multiple offers on the villa, but we wrote a very strong offer and Nancy's offer was chosen (and yes, I had her write a letter and tell the 4 daughters who were selling their late parents' villa about the Bill and Nancy coincidence)! I am so happy for Nancy and Bill that they are now in a place that is the right size for this stage of their lives, close to church, close to where Nancy works out and close to so many of their friends who help Nancy as she cares for Bill. Next up...an estate sale at their former home and then closing on that house at the end of the month.

I am way behind on my posts! Congrats to my longtime clients and dear friends, Sally and Peter, on the sale of their Wildwood home! It was a crazy weekend when their house went on the market. They had maintained the home extremely well, done some great updates and Sally is one of the best decorators I know, so it showed beautifully!! Literally every single agent who showed it talked about how gorgeous their home was! It all paid off and they sold for almost 5 percent over list price. Congratulations again, Sally and Peter!

All closings are special, but this one was extra special and so much fun. A mini Highland cow named Waffles from Meyer Mini Farms, donuts, balloons and 3 of my 4 grandkids!!

Congratulations to my clients from Franklin, TN who closed on this Town & Country beauty on Friday. Not only is this home gorgeous, but it's also in a highly desirable neighborhood in a great location near 141 & 40/64. We competed against 7 other offers and ultimately, the seller chose my clients' offer. I am so happy for them as they move back to St. Louis to be close to family!

In 25 years of selling real estate, I've never worked with a corporate trustee when selling a home....until this property. The homeowner had passed away, so I was working with a trustee/attorney from a bank outside of St. Louis. I wasn't quite sure how it would work, but the trustee ended up being absolutely wonderful to work with and I so appreciate that she trusted me to do what I needed to do. We had a very successful estate sale in January, then the rest of the contents removed and the villa deep cleaned....had engineered drawings done for a new deck and then got the deck approved by the HOA and hired Chesterfield Fence & Deck to build the deck after closing (& escrowed the money for the buyer),...had handyman work done and some failed thermal seals replaced....had my favorite assistant (Jon Kimerle) do a few things for me, including programming a new garage door opener & helping me figure out why it was 45 degrees in the villa one day when I went over there (the building inspector had accidentally turned off the furnace 2 days before!)....and had a sewer lateral repair done 2 days before closing. And I think I talked to Jeff Center, the City of Ellisville inspector and my absolute favorite municipal inspector in all of St. Louis, about 20 times during the transaction. But he never complained! I'm so thankful for all the people who helped me get this one to the finish line.

Congrats to my sellers in New Jersey, who I never got to meet in person. Larry and his wife were the original owners of this home in Ballwin and had been renting it out since the late 1980s. Two days after their most recent renter (a friend of mine) moved out of it, we had it under contract with multiple offers. Three weeks later (yesterday), a mobile notary came to Larry's house in NJ for him to sign the closing papers. Larry said it was the easiest home sale he's ever had, which made me super happy. The next time Larry and his wife come to St. Louis to see a family member, we plan to go out for dinner so that we can actually meet each other in person! :)

Congrats to my sellers who received a beautiful offer first day on the market after working hard to get their mom's villa ready to go on the market. They had wallpaper removed, painted, replaced carpeting and light fixtures and then we had it professionally staged. Check out the finished product...
