7213 Timbernoll West Chester Ohio SOLDAnother Sold Liz Spear Team Listing, But This One Is Different!  7213 Timbernoll Drive West Chester OH 45069

This will seem strange, but this is one closing we almost didn't want to have!  As REALTORS®, we employed our usual extensive marketing to sell this gem of a home.  The sellers had done everything right!  Fully updated, extras no buyer should have even HOPED for at the price point, really a joy to market.  So kick in the full internet blitz, visual tours, etc.  We got showings and plenty of them.  Three offers to get to an acceptable one that satisfied the sellers and this set of buyers.  Some creative contract language to bring the two sides together and the deal was on track.  Smooth.  Easy peazy!

But here's the flip side of the coin.  These sellers weren't just some anonymous sellers to us when we started the listing.  Not just someone who's first introduction to us was a listing appointment.  These were our best friends and they were leaving for Denver. We've shared many meals together, played Wii with the kids, learned from each other, laughed with each other.

7213 Timbernoll's kitchenThe husband is a master with wood & tile, and our home has benefited tremendously.  Crown molding, window and door trim kits installed with his expertise and I can't claim much credit....just that additional set of hands.  I can't walk through our home or have visitors without noting his craftsmanship.

The wife taught us some of the inside scoop on Mexican cooking and cake pops :)  Our kitchen is stocked with gifts of Mexican vanilla and spices.

The kids, well for them we were basically Aunt Liz and Uncle Bill!

We spent the last two evenings helping them pack up that last big moving van.  The closing was this morning.  The house is empty and they're now somewhere between Cincinnati and Denver.  We've said our goodbyes for now, but we'll be making some trips to Denver to explore their new home area.

They're with family and friends there.  As your REALTORS® and your friends, it's not about us, it's about you.  So while we'd have loved to have NOT sold this home and kept them here, taking care of people is what we do.  So there's a new family in this wonderful home, and they'll make their own memories, and benefit from the work of our friends. 

Need a Warren County REALTOR® Team to take care of you?  Just give us a call. 

Just to warn you, packing boxes and moving pianos is NOT normally part of our service package!  But what we do provide, you'll LOVE!  We've got plenty of happy clients who'd be happy to give you the inside scoop on working with us!

A bittersweet congratulations to you both.

Some friends are like family and family is forever! Denver is beautiful and Email is free. I encourage you to to conciously carve out time to maintain the relationships that you've invested in. Okay, now I'm preaching to myself as well:)

Thanks for the warm welcome the other day, 

Amy

Amy,

You're welcome for the welcome :)

And you're right, it is SO easy to let relationships slip away if we don't carve out the time.

HI BLiz - Congrats on the sale, and commiseration on having your good friends move away. At least you have plans to visit and keep in touch.

Endre,  It is bittersweet....can't say I was feeling too chipper most of the day yesterday.  And that kitchen to us was just phenomenal....it really was done in a way that you normally wouldn't see in this area until MUCH higher in price, and even then you might not get it!

Judy, We'll be in touch :)

Liz & Bill - I loved your "from the heart" post this morning.  This is a sad story as well as a happy story and I know you will all miss each other.  I feel certain you have a connection that will survive and that you will all remain good friends.

Love that backsplash...have something similar in my house.

Ginny, We've watched the AR posts from the Denver folks and know it's a great area to visit.  Liz has an aunt/uncle just to the north in Ft. Collins, so just another reason to visit.

Barbara, It's certainly a mixed feeling for us.  We didn't always get together as frequently as we'd like, but always enjoyed the time we had.  We'll be keeping up with each other :)

Cindy, I missed that other post....it takes some doing typically to get fired at J&J, at least at the company I work for.  Perhaps different cultures at different operating companies.

Joni, It was looking like a challenge to have that last load for that big U-haul ready, but by 11 p.m. the night before closing it was done!  Stuffed to the gills, but done :)

Bliz, it's hard to see good friends move away.  But today with internet and cells, skyping and videoconferencing, there really just a hop skip and jump away.  Besides, its a great reason to visit Denver, which is a beautiful City.  My son and his family have lived there for the past 8 years and visiting is always a pleasure.  I'm gald to have the excuse for the trip.

BTW congrats on the quick sale and smooth close.
