Fishhawk Lake Real Estate--Many Bridesmaids Now Walking Down the Aisle!

By
Real Estate Agent with John L Scott Market Center 700512026

I"ll bet you thought that this was a post about weddings, right? Well, in a WAY it IS A MARRIAGE...

Many listings that I've had for awhile (think older type babe, if you will) have had many suitors, but no one's made a proposal for one reason or another. 

They weren't cute enough.

They weren't young enough. 

They were too big. 

They were too small. 

They needed some fashion sense. 

Essentially, they just didn't have the IT factor to have someone take them "off the market".

Well, this year all of that has changed. Many singles have found their perfect match. 

For example, take my latest listing to get a proposal, just today

This plain jane has been in the running many many times. All she needed was for someone to see that she has 

POTENTIAL. 

MLS#12189851

She's clean and neat and hardly been "used" at all.

She just needed someone to see past her plain white interior, her outdated "country look" and see that it won't take much to get her all dolled up! 

Some good lovin' and she will most definitely shine!

A marriage awaits with a couple who have looked at others here at Fishhawk Lake over the years, but now have found 

THE ONE. 

Congratulations on your engagement! 

I will be your wedding planner and everything will go very smoothly for that special day!

A January Wedding is Planned. 

A private affair with only close family and friends.

To the Bride-To-Be!

Congratulations!

Hi Gayle, congratulations to the newly bride-to-be! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I say every home has a buyer, with patience and some search, there's always a happy ending.

What an interesting way to describe a bride, neat and trim and hardly used?

Ed Silva , c'mon now...neat and CLEAN and when you're an older type babe, hardly "used" is a GOOD quality! As opposed to"run hard and put away wet"....(okay, maybe that's not the best analogy, but I DO live around horses....)

Good morning Gayle. You have a way with words for sure. I guess we should now consider ourselves matchmakers. I hear some of them make a lot of money you their unique talent.

One has to look at the potential not just what they see.  Most people can do that some don't.

This is so well written and so brilliant, I don't understand why it has not been Featured.  I'm sure this bride will have a beautiful and stress free wedding with your help!

Always a bridesmaid and never a bride?  Sounds like you got a few that caught the bouquet and those that have some depth are getting hitched to a new partner who will most likely, bring out the best in them!  What a wonderful toast you have made!

Gayle, It is so true, sometime you have to look beyond the first appearance to see the true beauty.

Why, Joe--thank you! 

Sharon Lee "a lid for every pot".

James, agreed. 

Sharon Tara , it was so cute, the wife wrote that from 10:12 when they signed to only 1:21 before it was accepted, she took note of that with a bit of shock, then added: Is that one of the fastest sales you've had?  It's amazing to me!  It was especially pleasing to see "sale pending" on the website!"

Gotta love a quick acceptance!

Debb, we all do, that's for sure!

Kristin, it's just looking through loving eyes....

Joanna Cohlan I feel like the Fishhawk Lake Yenta! At least 5 have found their matches this year!

Ron & Alexandra Seigel since you are such a creative writer (and thinker), I take that as a high compliment. 

Donald, you are right about that!
