Enthusiasm + Practicality = Dream Home

By Matt Guy, November 7, 2019

Heather and Stephanie, were (all caps and 10 exclamation points) excited to buy their first home.  Newly married, and just back from an amazing Grand Canyon adventure, they were full of love, enthusiasm, and a desire to get this done.

These ladies came prepared; having done their research. Heather and Stephanie knew exactly what they were looking for. The list included an eastside location, with good bones, walkability, and room to grow; cuteness was a definite bonus.  

They also knew what they could afford.  Often times people will fall in love with houses that are out of their price range, or that don’t fit in their financial comfort zones.  With a great lender on board, and practicality on their minds, Stephanie and Heather kept their eyes and hearts on homes that actually fit their financial picture.

And, I’m happy to say that it all worked out so very well.  The transaction was smooth, and now they own a great home, in a neighborhood they love.  And, to make it that much sweeter, they got the keys on Stephanie’s birthday!
