Ashlee and Thomas were basically my perfect clients. Practical and pragmatic, they were level headed, listened to my advice. Let me tell you, having clients with such a great attitude was an absolute delight for me!
Ashlee and Thomas were ready to move in together and needed a little more elbow room than she had in her previous 600 sq/ft bachelorette pad. They knew they wanted a quiet home in a sweet neighborhood in a great school district. We looked at a lot of gems but none of them spoke to Ashlee more than this delightful home on Lancaster. With plenty of green space surrounding and a view of the woods, they knew it was the one. Ashlee would have room for her kitties and Thomas had a great space to paint.
This transaction was a great example of both sides working together so that everything could come together seamlessly.
