Climbing Mount Everest

By Jessica LeDoux, March 24, 2021

Finding a home that would not eat them alive, provide spaces for a family, and allow Ayala to work from home felt like climbing Mount Everest.  We put on our gear, and I was their sherpa. Our climb began in August of 2020, we headed out with hopes of getting to the top safely and quickly, but this mountain grew as we traveled and the journey threw roadblocks we could not see coming in our way. We made adjustments and detours along the way, experienced many disappointments and failed attempts, but we kept putting one foot in front of the other, learning and adjusting with each step.  The cold hard truth was that without extra tools, it was looking like they could not compete against uncontrollable forces.  This journey was hard but was full of growth, education, and most of all, their AMAZING spirits to make it to the end.  I have been a sherpa (aka REALTOR) for 16 years and used every bit of knowledge I have to help them make it and loved being of service to them.  On March 3rd they started the descent off this mountain and have arrived back at base camp. Today is a day of celebration for them and me because the home they are getting keys to is AMAZING and will provide many years full of enjoyment instead of years of projects.

Welcome home to your lovely new home, a place to nest and get ready for your first child and maybe someday a puppy too!
