Sometimes the best real estate decision has less to do with real estate.
I helped my clients buy this home in 2019. It was their first home. It’s where they built a family, celebrated milestones and made countless memories. It served them beautifully through that season of life.
Now, they’re preparing for the next.
With a baby girl arriving in the fall, the needs of their son, two dogs and a new home already purchased, there was plenty on their plates before it was time to sell this one.
Like many sellers, the plan was to prepare the home for market. The painting. The repairs. The staging. The cleaning. The show-ready routine.
Then an eager buyer offered them another option.
Could we have listed it? Absolutely.
But the better question wasn’t, “What would the market do?”
It was, “What serves this family best?”
Sometimes that means maximizing every possible dollar. Other times, the greatest value comes from reducing stress, protecting time and creating certainty during a season when energy is needed elsewhere.
For this family, the answer was clear.
Congratulations, my dear friends! Thank you for trusting me once again to help guide and be a part of another important chapter!
