Your Stories | 2023
Each year, we take time to reflect on the stories we've watched unfold in the lives of our clients. Moves are huge. Individuals and families uproot their lives, moving into new neighborhoods, cities, states, countries for new jobs, new relationships, or a fresh start.
We're honored to be part of your stories and it is our goal to make your home purchase or sale a bright spot along the way.
In 2023, with affordability constraints and economic uncertainty dominating the real estate headlines, we saw a shift in the driving forces behind people's decisions to move. For many of our clients this year, necessity, rather than preference, served as the driving force. But the consistent thread we see through the years is that people move to better their lives and the lives of those they love.
Here are just a few of the stories that comprised our year in real estate:
We assisted homeowners of 40+ years in downsizing to an assisted living that offered the care they would need in the coming years. Tears were shared at the signing table as they said goodbye to the home in which they raised their children.
Guiding a young couple during their remote home search, we navigated a competitive Spring market (and multiple bidding wars) to ultimately secure their first home near the hospitals where they would start their first jobs post-residency.
We helped newlyweds scour their dream neighborhood (which they didn't think they could afford!) and jumped into action when a home they liked fell in price, allowing us to structure a purchase that fit within their budget.
We helped an investor sell a near-century-old Englewood bungalow to first-time homebuyers, which enabled them to use the sale proceeds to build a mother-in-law suite for an aging parent.
A family expecting their third child found a larger home with our help, selling their previous one in the nick of time and making a seamless move to accommodate their growing family.
We helped our clients realize their dream of moving to Carbondale full-time, selling their Centennial home, and moving their family of 5 to a new life in the mountains.
We assisted a friend in finding a home with neighborhood amenities after a recent separation, making a tough transition a little easier.
We helped a family member downsize from a large home into an apartment, setting herself up for "lock-and-go" living in her next chapter.
We helped a childhood friend scrape and claw his way to the closing table, securing the least expensive home in an expensive neighborhood to return to his hometown and closer to family.
After searching for nearly a year, we braved high rates and low inventory to purchase a side-by-side duplex investment property in Old Littleton. (Jen)
We sold our home in Seattle, wrapped up a remote remodel, and packed up our family for the big move to Colorado! We haven't looked back! (Chad)
Thanks for making us part of your stories. We're moved by the privilege and responsibility.
Wishing you the very best as we close out 2023. And cheers to an even better 2024!
Yours,
Jen and Chad
