Ride On

By Constance Rigney, March 29, 2019

Matt rides his bike about 200 miles a week.  He is accustomed to long journeys that require endurance, patience, and perseverance.  Thank goodness, because all those things were requisite for this transaction!

Matt had been thinking about buying a home for a long time.  Living down the street from Living Room Realty, he just walked on in when the time was right. It was a perfect match right from the start, and we started cruising the town looking for houses that fit Matt’s idea of perfect.

That perfect house wound up being very elusive.  Either what Matt was looking for wasn’t available in his price range, we got outbid, or the location was all wrong.  But, then, one sunny day Matt fell in love with a well-loved, cozy feeling, yellow, 3 bedroom house.  There was quite a bit of competition, but we won it, and it looked like a done deal.

But, looks can be deceiving. We ran into some major bumps along the way.  Matt’s penchant for going the distance prevailed.  All sides of the transaction pulled together; we really all worked as a team.  It was fabulous to be part of such a dedicated effort, by all parties involved, to find positive solutions that benefitted everyone.

Matt’s fist love is still his bike, but now he has a home that is a close second.
