There comes a time when all the pieces fall into place!!

Congratulations to the Voelkers!!

 

I’m so thrilled for the Voelkers and their new home!! They exemplify patience and stick-to-itiveness! And now they have keys to a sweet 50’s ranch in a great neighborhood close to their friends. 

Everyone knows that things don’t always happen on your timeline. Sometimes you’re rolling with the punches and pivoting more than expected. The Voelkers were always game to try things out and walk away when it wasn’t right. That’s especially hard to do in a seller’s market and there’s no guarantee the next one will be any easier for a buyer. But, again, patience and persistence run deep in this family, and I admire that! Buying a home is no small thing and you should only buy the house that is right for you. This is surely the home that is right for the Voelkers! Cheers!

 

 

MARRY IT OR MOVE OUT?

We’ve had a new level of togetherness with the people we live with, being roommates, partners, or families. But we also have had lots of time in our home. We are using our homes in new ways-rededicating rooms for school space, home gyms, dance studios, and more.

We’ve been hearing from you…lots of stories of how people have had enough and it’s time to move out or they have decided to love their homes and get to work with projects. Take a look at some of the fun things our clients are doing at their homes.

Our client is a world-class dancer who a few years back became a chiropractor. She has decided to bring healthfulness into her living space and first up was a large outdoor sauna.

 

 

 

 

 

For this family, the sunny days equal enjoying the extra space their new house and yard offer, while they shelter in place. This shot was taken by the koi pond they inherited when they purchased this gorgeous property that is somehow both in the woods and under the sun. They didn’t know much about fish or how to maintain their pond when they moved in, but since then they’ve become quite the amateur pisciculturists with three hearty koi luxuriating in their pond. 

 

 

 

 

Our other clients took their unique modern Mediterranean and transformed it to a relaxing haven for both lazy and productive days at home. A basement transformation from unfinished concrete to fabulous teen suite complete with lounge, bedroom and bath offers privacy and ambiance. The redesigned patio sits between house and garage and makes for an outdoor room ready for dancing under the moonlight, relaxing by the fire or soaking up the sun.
