Home on a Hill

By Olivia Rush, March 27, 2021

Holy guacamole! Tedd and Autumn bought a house!

Our conversations about home-ownership began several years ago. Buying a home was a goal for both of them – separately, and then jointly. Tedd and Autumn budgeted, saved, and hustled to get to this point.

Once it was go time, they brought it all to the table – long-term planning, patience, humor, excitement, trust, execution, imagination, vision, and can-do attitudes. They wisely strategized and set their sights on purchasing a fixer and putting that sweat equity to work.

We identified homes that had been on the market for a while and visited several before they felt the good vibes flowing at The Hill House. Tedd and Autumn trusted their gut and held off on putting any offers in until they found a place where their budget and vision met. This led to their first offer on The Hill House being accepted – and later, a brand new roof, electrical panel, and all closing costs being covered by the Seller!

We closed on Friday afternoon, and the kitchen demo began this morning. I feel like a mom sending her babies off to college. Have fun and be safe! So proud of you! Mom can’t wait to see the before&after magic!

Cheers to these fine folk, and stay tuned for the good stuff: transformation photos!
