Blog Buyer When You Love Where You Live

When You Love Where You Live

By Marissa Sainz, January 30, 2020

When you love where you live, but need more space, you just buy a bigger townhome!  Jamie and Rachel were living in a two bedroom condo in their Happy Valley community with their children.  As time passed they realized the space was just not big enough for their family.  Luckily a larger townhome came to market just two doors down.

We looked at the townhome home during the summer and a few months later Jamie and Rachel decided it was time.  They wrote an under listing price offer and after a few days of negotiation we had come to an agreement with the seller.  One month later I was able to give Jamie and Rachel the keys and they started their move to a home with some much needed additional space.
