We met Zack over a year ago. He called on a condo we had listed in SE and asked to see it. He has his own awesome condo, but no balcony, porch or even common area to hang outside. He saw the photos and was excited by the patio. Turns out the patio was shared, and he really wanted a private yard space. Zack and I got to talking about the great outdoors. He does really important work helping protect our rivers and wild areas. We hit it off! Turned out we shared a love of nature, snowboarding, backpacking and water sports. So we decided to talk about getting him that yard he was looking for. I get it, being outside is a huge part of my life, even if it’s just in my own garden. Because he travels a ton, the timing was challenging for finding the perfect blend of small footprint, move in ready house, with the yard that was just right. He’d be gone for weeks at a time and missed some options. After moving through 4 seasons of looking, the perfect bungalow came up while he was home! He called to ask about it, and I happened to actually be standing in the house he was calling on. I was looking at it for him! We both knew it was the “the one.” It was a competitive offer situation, but we were able to figure out exactly what the seller was looking for, and wrote a strategic offer. Zack came out on top! He was leaving for a trip in just a few days, so it was a major push to get through inspections quickly. We got it done, and he was able to leave for his trip knowing he’d come home to his perfect house! Now he has the key, and a fabulous yard to enjoy the rest of the summer in!
