Saying Goodbye To Colts Neck

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Signature Properties

 

CIMG1932Colts Neck bids farewell to the Eder family.

After 10 years of enjoying the country life, Lois and Todd are now saying goodbye.

When I first placed their home for sale, I was extremely excited to show off the beauty that is 5 Meadows Run Drive, but last Saturday proved to be more difficult for me than for the homeowners.

CIMG1930As I walked through the empty rooms, my eyes welled up with tears. I recalled all the stories of how much they loved raising their family in this home.

I looked at their children's rooms and thought of how quickly time passes by. They were now adults. A son in his third year of college and a daughter about to begin her college years over at the University of Rhode Island.

As the sun beamed against the spot where the sofa once rested, I could still picture  Sebastian and Oliver, the family watch dogs, laying and basking in the warmth of the rays as they often did when I was showing the home.

An over abundance of love permeated each room and the only thing better than knowing that my clients were about to embark on a new chapter in their life was that the new homeowners had four young children who no doubt would come to fill this home with their own wonderful memories.      

CIMG1924The boys from A Better Choice Moving were fantastic.

Not only did they do an amazing job but they had the tissue boxes on hand and a shoulder to cry on just in case.

It was sad but doing the walk through with the new homeowners and seeing their beautiful 6 year old all excited to pick out her new room, made it all worth while.
