Today was an important day for my first time homebuyers who closed on their awesome single story home in Cedar Park, TX! This is the second generation of a wonderful family I’ve worked with through the years.  I’m honored to have worked with their son and wife on purchasing their first home. The home came on the market and we knew it wouldn’t last long and we were right! They just received an offer when I called the listing agent, so we wrote up their best shot and won it! It checked all their boxes; newer home, granite counters, open and airy floorplan, and a big back yard to have a garden, backing to green space. We are now closed and they are ready to move in!! The lender closed all their parent's loans and once again did an exceptional job! The listing agent was wonderful to work wi... 03/10/2023

What an incredible Saturday to support Gavin’s Gift of Grace during the first Annual Gearing for Gavin Car Show on December 3rd, 2022! Gavin’s Gift of Grace is a non-profit organization created in honor of Gavin Grant Gouldie, who passed unexpectedly on May 17th, 2018                              A lot of money was raised, a lot of new people came and everyone had fun checking out the hot cars, eating sausage wraps, drinking hot chocolate and visiting with Santa Clause! I loved volunteering for this charity event. My dear friend Teresa Gouldie is the grandmother of Gavin.

My sellers are original owners. They bought this home in 2000 after falling in love with the quiet, interior street in Forest Creek. They are moving to Fort Collins, CO where they purchased a home to be close to family.I listed and sold some good friend’s home this summer and it turned out the wives worked together at IBM. My good friends recommended my services, I interviewed to list the house and have so enjoyed working with these sellers.      The buyers are a perfect fit! They loved the 2 story Austin white stone, with wrap around front porch elevation, 3 car garage, and nestling in a lush setting with mature, carefully chosen landscaping.  They have two children, both sports oriented so the huge back yard will be perfect for soccer practice and a trampoline to hone the skills of a ... 12/03/2022

                          Timing is everything! My sellers just closed on their home in Canyon Creek with a lease back and now closed on this wonderful single story in Cedar Park. They wanted to smart size and when their home went under contract quickly in Canyon Creek we immediately went out looking!Inventory had increased so we had many single story homes to choose from. Prices have come down so our cash offer, even with a contingency, was well received. What a difference a year makes. Last year there were no sellers willing to accept a contingency offer, cash or no cash. My buyers are thrilled, grateful and recognize timing is everything!“Timing is everything. If it’s meant to happen, it will, at the right time for the right reasons.”   Anonymous  10/13/2022

      Look at these happy faces! Their forever home was finally completed with Sitterle Homes in Clear Water Ranch in Liberty Hills! We went under contract in March of 2021 but due to COVID, supply change issues and labor shortages it took longer than anticipated! They are closed and ready to move into their gorgeous single story, on an acre! This is the fourth transaction I've completed with this wonderful couple.  I sold their home in Canyon Creek in spring of 2021 (I sold it to them in 2010) and it was the best decision as I don’t think we’d get the same price today. I wrote a post last week on Trusting the Process and that is what we had to do to stay sane during construction. Congratulations David and Cathy..it was truly a pleasure to work with and for you!  "Success is not a dest... 10/02/2022

Today I spent the morning with my clients completing a walk through, with their builder on their new construction home. Today was punch list time, tagging for paint touchups, etc.  It’s been a long time coming. We went under contract, March of 2021.                        I listed their home in Canyon Creek that spring. The market was “red hot” and we had multiple offers and received way more for their home than anticipated! My sellers were a believer in having their home closed and funded so they could pay for the upgrades they wanted in their “forever home.” As it turned out it was a wise move! What a difference it would have been if we were selling now.Actually the process with Sitterle Homes has been a good one. Their builder, Eddy is awesome and he told us many times “Trust the Pro... 09/26/2022
