Throwback Thursdays...Adding “Magic” to Our Home
Our great Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 wrote a post recently about Moving With Kids. Her post reminded me of when we sold our home in Northern VA.
The potential buyers actually lived in our community and needed a larger home. When the parents came by for a second look, they brought their two children with them.
The agent was called away on a family emergency so I let the family in and told them I would be out on the deck. I could tell that the couple’s young son was not happy about the move...while their daughter was ecstatic.
While I was out on the deck, the young boy came out, still not happy about moving. I learned that even though their current home was just a few blocks away, this was the only home he’d ever known. Adults are not the only ones who do not like change.
So I decided to share something with him that was a secret!
I pointed beyond the trees to the community near us and told him that this deck was the perfect viewing spot to see fireworks on special holidays like the Fourth of July. He would have a ringside seat!
Ultimately, the parents would be the ones to make the final decision to buy or not but it was fun being able to bring a smile to that little boy’s face!!!
