Making a major life change doesnโt have to be hard, but all too often people assume it will be difficult and full of challenges; moving homes is no different. Going from guess work, to a game plan on how to make a move and make it smooth is why itโs so important who you work with ๐ฏ
When I got connected with the Samokar family last fall, I was referred to them by my good friend Zaneโs mother and she spoke very highly of me. After having helped Zane in his home search, his Mom promised the Samokar family they were in good hands with my guidance and assured them Iโd find their perfect new home to move into ๐ก
As a retired teacher and financial advisor, living in the Dunbar school district for 20+ years brought the Samokarโs incredible memories, while their own kids grew up, then grew out of the house. Now with several grandkids living in Wi******er, they wanted a place better suited for their needs and closer to those grandkids so they could host and have fun for many more years to come ๐ฎ
We sat down and developed a clear strategy on how to find their perfect fit and secured this home in Richmond on over 1.5 acres that was a single level ranch with the perfect layout for their family. It took some searching, but when they found it, they knew and we closed in late February so they could move before selling their old home in Lex๐
Once they settled in Richmond, we got to work preparing their old home to get maximum visibility and exposure! The Samokarโs followed my advice step-by-step, trusting me in how to prepare the home for market to sell fast. With creative video marketing and promo, the home went up for sale on April 30th, and under contract the next day, May 1st, with multiple offers over asking price ๐
Having that deal in order let the Samokarโs focus on their new home, where they had a brand new pool built in their dream back yard that they and the grandkids have been loving all summer long! It doesnโt have to be hard to be happy making a big move, even leaving the home youโve loved for decades, and it goes to show that with the right guidance to help, amazing things will come ๐
