From Thinking to Skinny in 82 Days.

By Martin Cross, August 21, 2020

“I’ve been researching homebuying and I thought of you.“ That was the message I got from Cassandra on May 29. She wasn’t sure if she could pull it off but was feeling like buying her first home was finally a possibility. After several discussions and finding her a responsible lender we were on our way!

As everyone knows, the first time homebuyer market is very competitive right now. But, undaunted we just kept chugging along, looking for the right place. Ultimately, in a not common turn of events in today’s market, we only had to write one offer. After looking at numerous homes and almost writing offers on a few different properties, I knew when this charming little skinny house popped up that it was the right one for her. Dubious at first, it didn’t take her long to realize that the compact yet fluid feeling of well designed and constructed skinny house could be the right fit for her.

Congratulations Cassandra!
