Closed: From City to Lake Life!

By Olivia Rush, August 21, 2024

Congratulations to Amy, Steve, Ella, Taz, and of course Lucky! They just concluded a real estate marathon, which began in February 2023 with our first text.

[For context – I’ve known this incredible family for 13+ years. I took over Taz’s kinder class during maternity leave, and Ella looped with me for 4th and 5th grade.]

The race was grueling, but they kept their eye on the prize. There were stops and starts, uphills and downhills, times when we didn’t know if we’d finish, and lots of digging deep.

I couldn’t begin to tell the whole story – it could become a 6-part drama mini-series. What I can tell you was that over the course of 17 months, we planned, prepped, strategized, searched, checked in, laughed, toured, commiserated, regrouped, bounced back, kept calm and carried on.

The result – one home sold, one home bought. The race course was anything but linear. But the little house on the water kept coming back (on market, and into Steve and Amy’s hearts and minds).

This transaction was magical. The goodwill, the communication, the patience, the understanding and mutual trust that developed over about 5 months between seller, buyers, and agents – it was nothing like I have ever experienced. I can’t describe it. You had to be there.

Leaving their beloved Overlook home and community of 14 years was an extremely tough decision. Looking at this view, I think it was worth it.

MASSIVE CHEERS YALL!
