๐กโจ FROM RETIREMENT DREAMS TO THEIR FOREVER HOME! โจ๐ก
Sometimes the best things in life happen when youโre not even looking for them. โค๏ธ
This one is extra special because I had the absolute honor of helping my parents โ who also happen to be my clients โ find their beautiful new home! ๐ฅน๐กโค๏ธ
For the past 2 years, Iโve been telling my parents, โJust retire, enjoy life, travel, and take some time for yourselves!โ โ๏ธ๐ They officially retired this year and had plans to travel for a year before even thinking about buying another home.
And honestlyโฆ they werenโt really looking. ๐ They were doing what most buyers do โ browsing Zillow just for fun! ๐๐ก
Then my mom came across THIS home. ๐กโค๏ธ
At the very last minute, she called me and said she wanted to see it. I immediately arranged a showing, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Showami because it has been such a lifesaver for agents when you need showing coverage quickly! ๐๐ฝ๐
We walked into the homeโฆ and they FELL IN LOVE. ๐
They called me and said, โWe want it!โ ๐โค๏ธ
And just like that, our journey changed direction!
Over these past two years, we toured about 3 new construction communities, submitted approximately 4 offers, talked through options, and waited for the right opportunity.
They even took off on their beautiful Route 66 adventure ๐๐ฃ๏ธ๐ต and came back homeโฆ
โฆand then they found THE ONE. โค๏ธ๐ก
After two years of conversations, searching, touring, offers, traveling and waiting for the right moment โ THEY CLOSED! ๐๐๐ฅ
They were supposed to receive their keys on the 25th, but their amazing agent was able to get them to them the evening of the 24th! ๐๐กโค๏ธ
Watching my parents begin this new chapter of retirement in a home they absolutely love is a moment I will never forget. ๐ฅนโค๏ธ
I am SO thankful they trusted me to be their Realtor and trusted me to be part of such an important journey. Being able to help your parents find their home is something truly special, and I am beyond grateful.
Mom & Dad, I love you guys SO MUCH! โค๏ธ Iโm so happy I got to be part of this special moment and help you find the place where you can relax, enjoy retirement, make new memories, and call HOME. ๐กโจ
And I also want to give a HUGE thank you to Kyle McFerran with HJ Platinum Realty! ๐๐ฝ Kyle was actually one of my high school friends, and Iโm so grateful for his help in making this process a smooth one for my parents. It was extra special having someone Iโve known for so long be part of this journey. ๐ค๐ฝโค๏ธ
โจ The lesson? You never know when the right home is going to find YOU. Sometimes youโre just browsing Zillowโฆ and suddenly youโre holding the keys to your new home! ๐๐๐ก
