Congratulations Austyn + Eddy on purchasing their first home together!
In 2020, I helped Austyn purchase his first home. Since then, he met Eddy, who eventually moved in. They zhuzhed the heck out of that home, but also dreamed of purchasing a home together.
Their goals were twofold: more space inside and out AND moving closer into the city, into a more walkable neighborhood.
It took a few tries. The first house we offered on was overpriced, so we walked. The second home was CUTE, but with 5 buyers competing, we came up just a tad short.
The third home was more of a fixer. During inspections, it became clear that the house needed more than a facelift, so Austyn and Eddy listened to their gut and let it go.
Despite setbacks, A+E remained steadfast. They knew what they would and wouldn’t compromise on. So when Cora was listed, they pounced. Remodeled, turn-key, fabulous location, updated systems…all the green flags. We were in contract in under 24 hours!
As it usually goes, they ended up in the right home. Boxes checked, no compromises. The seller paid some closing costs AND replaced the knob and tube wiring in the attic. And then we closed a week early!
Due to the early closing, I was out of town when they got their keys. We recreated Key Day with a photoshoot a week later. The house looked like they had been there for years. Color me impressed.
Cheers to Austyn and Eddy (and to Tucker, Oscar, and Selena) for having your cake and eating it too! Welcome to the neighborhood!
