A New Home Just In Time For The Holidays!

By Cristen Lincoln, November 28, 2018

Three years ago this month, Chris and Courtney were shopping for a home in Irvington with the goal of moving in before Christmas. We made it just in in the (saint) nick of time for them to get a tree and wake up in their new house Christmas morning! They and their kiddos out grew that house, and we ended up having the same goal this year. This time, we had a contingent offer to talk a seller into taking, a house to get on the market quickly and find a buyer for, (we ended up having to sell it twice) and 2 houses to close on the same day. With lots of hustle, it all came together. They always knew it would! They are brave and confident and also trusted me to make it all happen. This time, they are not going to be putting up their tree amongst moving boxes. We might have been cutting it a bit close by closing the last week of November. But, by comparison to three years ago, they have lots of time to settle in and do a proper Christmas. Just as planned! By the way, their new house is absolutely stunning, and generous in size! They definitely have plenty of room for the family and more. I think many a holiday celebration will take place at Chris and Courtney’s house for years to come! Cheers to bravery, trusting the process and getting what you want!
