Realtor blogs are usually very happy, forward thinking, ‘something new is happening!’ affairs. And that happens at the coast for sure, when a family buys a vacation home or retires to their dream spot. But often the event, the transaction as we call it, is an intense, cathartic life change. Settling an estate, change of heart, change of hearts, relocation, or just a shift in the frequency of use to a long held family property. So there’s usually not a smiling face to post for some of those. But the connections made are quite strong, every bit as relevant and even as hopeful as some of the traditional beginnings to a new home. This last year has been a bit of a tumbler ride for many of us. But I find myself getting smoother from the ride, some of the rough edges finding a polish. And I’m grateful many of you have been on the ride with me. You know who you are. Hans Tonjes – hans@livingroomre.com – 503-936-4244.
