We call them extraordinary homes because they represent something more than just real estate—they showcase a beautiful collaboration between the seller and their real estate agent. These homes are created with affection, filled with character and soul. And when presented with the same depth of feeling, they offer visitors a sensory and memorable experience.
Those homes are not ordinary.
They are extraordinary.
They feature rare and unique elements that deserve to be understood, appreciated, and highlighted.
And they deserve to be presented that way—through the lens of someone who recognizes their unique features and can speak to them with passion and depth.
Because buyers who value such distinctive features are just as rare and discerning, we believe there should be a special place to spotlight these properties—a place to search not just by price or square footage, but by uniqueness of character. That’s what the group Extraordinary Homes at Active Rain is about: showcasing homes with exceptional features and the thoughtful ways they are presented to the market.
One such home recently moved me deeply. Its standout feature? An indoor pool — a rarity in itself. This is only the second indoor pool home I have encountered in my real estate journey, the first being a stunning property in Sonoma, California. Homes like this don’t come along often. But if you know the real estate agents who specialize in these gems, they may be able to help you find — or create — something equally unique.
Here’s a glimpse of the home that inspired me:

The serene setting with natural light pouring in, lush backyard views, and cozy sitting area by the pool is a visual story in itself.
Because just as these homes are rare, so are the buyers who will fall in love with them. They’re looking for something more. And they need a place where those one-of-a-kind features are celebrated, not overlooked.
That’s what this group, Extraordinary Homes at Active Rain, is all about.
It’s a place to highlight those remarkable homes—and to share how we present them when they’re offered for sale.
If you’re a fellow agent who values properties with soul — or a buyer dreaming of a home with rare and meaningful features — you’re in the right place.
Let’s keep celebrating and sharing what makes these homes extraordinary.
Please join this new group, and let's stay connected.
