Dream Home Becomes Forever Home

By Cristen Lincoln, June 7, 2018

Not many people have a second shot at the one that got away. 8 years ago, Jason decided to make a move. He was looking for a bit more land, a quieter location, and hoping to find it in a modern, light and open house in a neighborhood he loved. On his first day out, he saw the house on 53rd. It was perfect! It had an offer, and he needed to decide right then and there if he wanted to go for it or not. Like many would do, he chose to keep looking. “If I saw this amazing place on the first day, what else could be out there? It’s the first house I’ve seen!” Totally reasonable! As time passed however, it became clear that no other house was matching up. After some time, he decided to call it quits on moving. Fast forward 8 years, and the house comes back on the market! We sent it to Jason, just in case he was still enamored by it. He sure was! We were one of the first ones in the door. It still had that magical quality that hooked him the first time, but unlike 8 years ago, he was on it! There were multiple offers, and Jason had to come out swinging to win. And he did! Finally, I handed him the key to his forever house. He is stoked! Congratulations Jason!
