Congratulations to Whitney and Brad!
In real estate, there is truly nothing better than a GREAT referral and I am thrilled to have been referred to Whitney and Brad by their friends who are also my wonderful clients!
The first thing we did was set up a buyer meeting with Whitney and Brad to establish what they wanted most: a home with enough room to grow as a family, vintage character, a beautiful yard and a garage. And with that, the search was on!
It turns out that this was not their first rodeo and I could tell, Brad and Whitney were smart buyers. They had a keen eye for potential in fixers and were thrilled when they found a super cute ranch with a Coral door! It checked all their boxes: extensive yard, decent garage and stylish character!
Whitney and Brad are now homeowners and I couldn’t be happier for them!
