This Bluebird Found His Home Quick!

Bluebird House - Steve Kappre, Gloucester County Mortgage Officer

The other day my dad and I put up a bluebird house in my backyard. We had seen about 6 bluebirds flying around as a group for a few weeks, and figured we'd give it a try. So he found a design and graciously built one for me. He brought it over and we spent a few minutes digging a hole for the post and putting it up.

The funny thing is, is that I hadn't seen the bluebirds in about a week or two. But literally 1-2 minutes after we put the birdhouse up, I came inside, washed my hands, and looked out the window and there it was. It was practically magic.

Don't we all wish finding a home could be that easy!

Hi Steve: That is the greatest Realtor story I have heard this month.  You built the house and found the new owner all in one afternoon!  Someone call Realtor Guinness!

OH OH OH we have tons of bluebirds and they never sit still long enough for a picture!  I guess I need to have some homes built in the field and they will pose for me.  I am on it, Steve!  Thanks for sharing.

Sheldon - He is a proud owner. He even has a lady friend.

Matt - Does that mean I get paid commission on the building, selling, AND financing? :)

Paddy - Mine were skiddish at first - I was out the other day and one landed about 10 feet from me and just sat and looked at me for about a minute - it was really cool. And my office has some space so I sometimes will keep the tripod setup. Kind-of cheating, haha.

Great post Steve.  When you see a need and fill it - you get a reward.
