Why 28?

Today feels like the perfect day to finally share the meaning behind 28 Real Estate. 💛

Today, 8/28, we’re celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary! 🥂

But the number 28 goes back even further for us…

🏡 Chandra’s Grandpa was a real estate agent and home builder in Kankakee, IL — and he and Ryne share the same birthday: 6/28

🎂 Chandra’s birthday is 4/28

💍 Chandra’s grandparents were married on 1/28
And now, our anniversary is 8/28.

We don’t necessarily call 28 our lucky number…

It’s just always been our number. ❤️

And when it came time to name something as meaningful to us as our own real estate company, 28 Real Estate just felt right.

Now you know the story behind the 28. 🏡✨
