If you’ve been a client of mine over the last 9 years, inevitably you’ve heard me say “Don’t let go of your priorities, don’t be discouraged, I swear to you….. when it’s right, it happens!” And it DOES! I’m not particularly woo-woo, but I do believe if you feel you feel like you’re swimming up a waterfall, it’s time to take a breath and re-center. I worked with Meghan for several months, looking for her perfect first home for her and her darling pup, Bentley. We entertained the idea of both Vancouver and Oregon, balancing the personal wants with the pragmatic tax savings approach. I continued to watch my client internally struggle with the idea of where her heart truly wanted to live vs affordability. I refused to let her make a choice that would make her feel she was compromising! We viewed several townhouses, new builds and some pretty horrific detached homes. I got a phone call about an open house that she had attended and if glitter could shoot out of a phone, this was it. She had already been starting on her love letter, called the lender with the details and asked if we could go to the open house the following day. We walked in together and were both giggling with happiness. It literally was everything on her checklist including the location. We weren’t the highest offer, but we were the best. With a seller’s heart of gold and an understanding of the intense market- we had a deal. I couldn’t have picked a better home for her, including her wonderful lender at Guild Mortgage- Kristina Cashman! We can’t WAIT to share a glass of bubbles poolside her new home!
