π‘π¦β¨ SOMETIMES YOUR βFOREVER HOMEβ JUST NEEDS A LITTLE MORE ROOM FOR LLAMAS. β¨π¦π‘
Today was CLOSING DAY for my amazing friend Carolyn, and this one has my whole heart. π
Carolyn and I have been friends for many, many years, and about six years ago I had the privilege of helping her buy what we truly thought was her forever dream home, a beautiful cabin tucked away in the woods where she could step outside and hike the State land right behind her property.
And she LOVED that cabin.
So when the possibility of a new home came along, saying goodbye to the cabin in the woods wasnβt easy. Not at all. That little piece of Montana held memories, adventures and a whole lot of Carolynβs heart.
But dreams have a funny way of growing right along with us.
And Carolynβs dream eventually grew four legs, a long neck & a whole lot of fluffy personality. ππ¦
She wanted LLAMAS!
And when you want llamas, you need SPACE for llamas.
Then something pretty wonderful started happeningβ¦
Carolynβs children came to visit and fell in love with the new home. β€οΈ
Then her brother and his wife came to visit and fell in love with it too.
Then her sister cameβ¦
Yep. She fell in love with it too. π
One by one, the people who know and love Carolyn best could see what this next chapter could be. Everyone became so excited for her, for the property, for the possibilities and, Iβm fairly certain, for the llamas. π¦π
And today, ITβS OFFICIAL! ππ
Not too far from her beloved cabin in the woods, Carolyn now has a beautiful new home with more land, mountains right behind her, incredible hiking practically outside her door & ROOM FOR LLAMAS!
There are so many possibilities here, too. If she chooses, she even has the opportunity to rent a portion of the home.
This is everything I love about real estate.
Sometimes we arenβt searching for a βbetterβ home. Sometimes the home we have has been absolutely wonderful. Weβre simply searching for the place that fits who we are becoming and the life weβre dreaming about next.
And when your children, your brother, your sister, your friends and everyone who loves you can see that dream too, somehow saying goodbye to one beautiful chapter becomes a little easierβ¦ because everyone canβt wait to see what happens in the next one. π
We also could not have asked for a better group of people to bring this one home! A HUGE thank you to Lynsi Dewaard with Keller Williams Realty Northwest Montana, Erin La Bar & Sean Fretwell with Barrett Financial, and Lisa, Michelle, Wendi, Rina and Janet & the entire crew at The Title Team! Even Carolynβs Brother called to join us for the Closing! So fun! You were all absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to end. π₯
Carolyn, congratulations, my friend. Hereβs to mountain hikes, family visits, laughter, peace, new memories, big Montana skies and finallyβ¦
THE LLAMAS!!! π¦π¦π¦π
Because apparently sometimes a forever home really is foreverβ¦
until the llamas call. ποΈπ¦π
