It’s All Coming Up Roses in Vancouver

By Carrie Struss, July 5, 2023

After 6 months of searching and several offers, it’s all coming up roses for my clients! Isaac & his family searched for months for the perfect home. After several misses on homes full of compromise, it all worked out when they found the perfect home for Isaac’s gardening, fruit tree picking, rose-smelling, and chicken-cooping dreams. From the time they got under contract to the time they took possession, the 27 rose bushes at their new home had bloomed into a fragrant garden of color, greeting them the day they got the keys! I had so much fun wandering in the garden with them, smelling the roses. Since then, Isaac has shared a photo of a giant bowl of raspberries from his new garden. And soon there will be an abundance of apples, pears, and cherries and hopefully, some chickens to help eat the leftovers.

Please help me welcome Isaac & his family to their new garden paradise! Congrats on your next adventure.
