Special offer

You have arrived at your destination. Home, finally!

Real Estate Agent with Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860 MD594797

It's been a long journey for my buyers, one that began approximately 15 years ago with the purchase of a home that was just meant to be a temporary one. Temporary turned into welcoming a puppy and a child to the family and raising both in the home, waiting out a recession and housing market recovery. 

They had always dreamt of a detached single family home large enough to host family reunions, with a big kitchen to be able to cook and bake together without bumping into each other, with room for a man cave, office and a craft room, too, a large, private backyard, and a big deck with a view of trees and not neighbors - a beautiful spot to sit, unwind and listen to the birds sing their songs. 

Last week, my buyers made their dream come true. After an intense search in a low inventory, competitive market, writing multiple offers, collecting multiple rejections, they have arrived at their destination: HOME, finally!  My clients are now proud owners of a split-level home in Sykesville, MD. We've enjoyed a first (but not last) celebratory drink on their new deck, and they are busy perfecting their dream. There's nothing temporary about this one! 

 

Welcome home Rich, Christine, Julia and Bernie! Welcome home!

Hello Andrea - whether it is real estate or real life, our journeys can include temporary route-changers that extend for many reasons.  Congratulations on your recent sale and on this nicely told story of it.

My story follows a very similar pattern, what was meant to be just a start became a long-term residence (that I am itching to move on from, too!). Thank you Michael!

It wasn't an easy road in this market, but I kept telling them to hang in there, the right house will work out! And work out it did. It was one of the happiest of closing days - almost makes you forget about the hurdles along the way. Thank you Joan!

Hi Andrea - I know the excitment since it is way my wife and I started and outgrew a condo at a time when interest rates were almost 20%.  That day came for us too and it was wonderful.  I am happy for your clients.

Thank you Grant! I find myself in that very boat, I've been wanting to move on for quite some time. But finding the time to get my house ready for the market is proving a challenge.. never mind that there are no homes for me to even look at.

At my semi annual dentist appointment the other day, I had a checkup with a dentist who is new to the practice. He is very experienced, new to the area, and semi retired. When I told him what I do, he looked at me with a very sweet calm voice and said, "Oh, you make dreams come true". I left on cloud 9. Yes, we do make dreams come true!
