While moving is usually stressful, it is on a completely different level when you are 80+ years of age and downsizing after a decade of living and loving in a beautiful Mt Tabor home. Sorting through a lifetime of stuff; deciding what should stay and what should go. Plus all the standard logistics of the actual move. This is where we do our best to help guide our clients through the process.
The homeowners, Barbara and Victor, interviewed several agents. I was very happy they chose me to represent them in this important transaction. Once hired, Nicole and I immediately went to work! We prepared a schedule to help guide Barbara and Victor through all the many steps involved in this life change: sorting, packing, garage sales, house cleaning, staging, photo shoot, printing of marketing material, activation and open houses. Barbara & Victor, with the help of their fantastic children, worked very hard and diligently followed the schedule. The house was ready for Nicole and I to stage on the day we had agreed to.
Our goal was to keep the furniture light and airy with no big, heavy pieces. I think we achieved just that.

After a successful online marketing campaign, both online and print, that included catered open houses and broker previews, we ended up with three solid offers after only one week. Barbara, Victor and their three children selected the offer they felt most comfortable with, and the home was sold!
Now it is 4 weeks later and we are closing after a very smooth transaction with no hiccups and with a repair negotiation that left both parties satisfied.
Sometimes real estate is about just that – real estate. More times than not, however, it is about people and relationships, and this was one of those cases. Nicole and I are so glad to have been selected to work with Barbara, Victor and their children. We are honored to have played a role in this life event and wish Barbara and Victor much happiness in this new chapter of life.
