We always get clients that are really special to us.
Casey and Rachel called me three years ago. They needed to sell the home they owned because it was too small and they needed to pay off bills and get their credit in better shape so they could find a house that would fit the family better.
They have FIVE adopted children and they can challenge the budget!
They lived in a 1400sqft home that had only 3 bedrooms. We fixed up what we could, staged it and got it sold. I found them a rental home that had 4 bedrooms and 1800sqft. That helped a bit with the family comfort factor.
At this point they started the process of getting finances in order!
In March I got a call from Casey...they felt they were ready to get the home buying process started. We looked at quite a few resale homes, and we found a couple they really liked, but nothing was perfect.
I suggested we look at a new home in an area called Bayside Lakes in Palm Bay. We looked at 4 or 5 homes in the community. On a second trip back, a home that was under contract fell out. It was 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and had a bedroom (and full bath) on the first floor (that could be great for guests when they were in town). The home featured a gameroom upstairs, a formal dining/living room, and a huge master bedroom. The kitchen has granite counters and stainless steal appliances! It sits on an over-sized corner lot that also corners on a lake...and is across the side street from the neighborhood pool and mailboxes!
They fell in love and we closed yesterday. I was able to get 10k in closing cost assistance and we shaved a little off the price. They have a 2.66% interest rate for a 30 year mortgage!!!!
Many years of happy memories Casey and Rachel!
