The ones you win FAR OUT SHINE the ones you lose.

The Real Estate industry is much like roller coaster, it has its ups and downs.  The only difference is no one cheers on the downs, the ups however, are very rewarding.

A couple weeks ago I received an email from a friend of mine from my elementary school days.  She and her husband wanted to talk to me about moving and/or renovating their home.  I gladly met with them and had a wonderful discussion about their current home and where they wanted to move to.  On Victoria day, we went and looked at a very well maintained home in Charleswood, they loved it and ended up buying it a couple days later.

Unbeknownst to my clients, this home had already been in their family for 22 years.  One of their cousins sister and her husband bought the home from the original owner in the early 90's, they in turn sold it 9 years later to their cousins sister-in law which now has been sold to my clients.

You might think that is the highlight of my story.  However, the true highlight came in the form of this beautiful picture collage I received from their young daughter....  check it out below.

 

Now, this is the real highlight of my job.

We always say to people that a house is the one who picks their owners and we believe it to be true.

 

What a perfect LOVE match...
