Beazer Home Challenge and What I Wanted in a New Home

“Beazer Home Challenge and What I Wanted in a New Home”

 

When we built our home, there were two things that were a must have for us. The first was a sauna and the second was a gym room, we built in 1975 and when we are home, use both 3-4 times a week, ever since.

 

lake frontBefore we decided on the home we wanted to build, the prerequisite, the land had to be lake front or river front. Growing up on large acreage, land was important and land next to water, that was what we wanted.

 

While in the real estate business, someone stopped by my office and wanted to appraise a property he owned. He brought me to the property were our home is. I told him that I couldn’t appraise the property for him, he immediately wanted to know why.

 

 

I told him that I could not be objective as I wanted to buy the property. He said OK, this is what I want for the property. Long story short, we closed the next day.

What a wonderful story of how you came to be at your dream home. It looks so inviting. I love homes near or on the water. Just makes for a peaceful setting.

Great story Joe, I like it when people know what they want, make a decision and get it done quickly.  I seldom spend much time vacillating over a property purchase either.

Great story Joe. I would love a view of water from my home, but it's not a necessity. The home we are in now has some mountain views and view of downtown Denver. I have no compliants about that, plus we back to the golf course!
