Blog Buyer A Diamond in the Rough in Vancouver

A Diamond in the Rough in Vancouver

By Carrie Struss, July 26, 2023

Urban living or suburban life? Walkability or more space? My clients Pradeep & Neha were looking for a change of scenery, financial security, and a good long-term investment by making the move up to Washington. They ran the gamut of house styles and neighborhoods until they found the perfect diamond in the rough at a great price with instant equity! The best part? This couple is the smartest and the sweetest & we all had fun together in the process. Once again, I am grateful for the wonderful people I get to meet while helping to secure their financial future. Welcome home, Pradeep & Neha, and congratulations!
