Three moves in as many years

By Living Room Realty, June 10, 2018

Moving three times in the last ten years has been plenty for me. The expense, the labor, the elbow grease, the change. Every move brings with it the opportunity for reinvention and discovery nonetheless each transition is tinged with a degree of anxiety.

J and Z though, they aren’t afraid of change. Their move this year marked the third with me since 2015. West Side living worked for the pair for a while but residing in the city without children J and Z felt like they were missing out on the true value of being close in. After open-housing as a hobby for months on end they decided to make the move and seek the walkability, pubs and restaurants that they so desired on the East Side. Within weeks of making their decision their house was pending to sell and they were under contract to purchase a brand new home just south of Powell. Boom, Division at their fingertips!

West

East

For the time being the East was all they wanted and more and they loved the home that they’d made for themselves but eventually the commute to Intel became nearly unbearable for Z and more importantly in year two of East side living J gave birth to little B. All three family members wanted dad to be home more often and eventually they came to the realization that they were being called back west. And so their they were, making move number three, Bethany bound. Although I’d love to work with them again I hope that this home will satisfy their family needs for years to come.

West again
