rapid city real estate: Buyers Become Sellers and Move On - An Emond Team Client Story
- 05/16/19 11:31 AM
5 years ago, Greg and Heather were referred to me by a mutual military friend.
There was a little culture shock as we began looking for homes. After being in South Carolina with their large entryways, smooth walls, and white trim, our textured walls and popcorn ceilings weren’t what they were hoping for. We even talked with a builder about no texture on the walls. The estimate back from the mud guys was a considerable sum…
It took some time to get used to homes in our area, but they did find a home with a 3 car garage they loved.
Here they began … (0 comments)

rapid city real estate: Home Buying Should Be Fun - an Emond Team Client Story

Buying A Home Should Be Fun
An Emond Team Client Story
“Yellow Car!”
I glanced sideways from driving to the next home I was showing Alex and Brittani to see what that was all about.
Alex, in the back seat, swore under his breath. In the next moment, blurted out “Yellow car!”
“OK.” I said. “What’s going on?”
It was their car game. You get into the car, the game begins. Whoever sees and calls the most yellow cars before getting out of the car wins. School buses, construction vehicles, and other commercial vehicles excluded, of course.
I loved that they felt comfortable enough around me that … (0 comments)

rapid city real estate: The Dream Came True for Our Rapid City Homebuyer
- 01/21/19 02:11 PM
The Dream Came True - an Emond Team Client Story
On December 1, 2011, Jessica posted on her Facebook status:
“Someday I aspire to own a home on the Boulevard.”
Someone should have warned her about putting things out there… 😊
In the fall of 2014, we listed a historical home on 11th street. The owners had bought it as a complete fixer-upper. They had worked to make it a cute space while retaining as many of the historical pieces as possible.
The open houses on this property were phenomenal! But…the comments were the same. People loved the idea of an old home, but they really … (0 comments)

rapid city real estate: Sometimes You Gotta Win Clients Over | An Emond Team Client Story
- 11/15/18 12:15 PM
Sometimes we have to win our clients over.
Bad past experiences with another realtor can really suck.
In 2013, Brian and Mahala’s kids were gone. It was time to downsize from their family home to a West Boulevard charmer.
A mutual friend hooked us up and we got the call to help out.
We had our work cut out for us.
When Brian and Mahala originally bought their home, Brian never felt like his agent had their back. He silently questioned his loyalty and whether or not their best interests were really at the forefront
Which led to a general distrust of realtors.
Understandable...
Since Mahala’s job at the … (1 comments)

rapid city real estate: We Sell Rapid City Real Estate - A Personal Story tells "Why"
- 09/25/18 11:34 AM
The Beginning
It was getting cramped in the double wide mobile home.
Michael and Seth were in bunk beds in one room and Isaiah and Emily shared the other.
Fortunately, that was on the other side of the house from our master bedroom. 😁
On those cold winter days when the kids didn’t get a chance to go outside, the open living room/kitchen/dining room got a bit noisy.
Fortunately, real estate was took off in 2008 and we got the thumbs up to look for a home.
It was a simple matter: the BIGGEST house for our budget. (those 4 kids ain't gonna get any … (0 comments)
