Scrolling through my phone, I’ve stumbled upon photos from the second week of February. This now seems a whole world away.
The day these photos were taken Ryan and Samantha had come to our swanky mid-century office to review the 20 plus offers we had just received for their home. We toured the office, shopped the swag shelves and settled in to sip champagne from water glasses while they perused offers.
Soon after these sweet photos were taken, the COVID-19 chaos began. Despite that, we got their house in contract, accepted two offers in backup positions, secured them two months of free rent-back, closed the sale, found them a new home, closed that deal, and got them moved in. Phew!
Looking back through my photos, so much has changed in a short span of time. While we can’t sip more champagne together right now, I sent them a nice bottle to celebrate their new “forever” home. They’ve come a long way from their two-bedroom starter home!
I admit, right now, I miss seeing my clients. I miss giving them hugs and hanging out together. I miss meeting clients at our beautiful office. I miss happy hours with friends, colleagues, and neighbors… but we’ve been able to get the job done despite the challenges of these times.
Until we get back to normal, I’ll raise my water glass full of champagne (from home) to everyone successfully buying and selling homes right now. Cheers!
