Today, I am joyfully celebrating with my repeat clients, Michelle and Victor, the successful purchase of their brand new 4 bedroom 3 bathroom “move-up” home!
I met Michelle 6 years ago when she was still single and before she purchased her first townhome. We talked about her vision for the future and found ways to make them come true. She like I, truly believed in setting goals, verbalizing them, creating a workable plan (even a “vision board”) and implementing them. Since that first meeting 6 years ago, I represented her in her purchase of her first townhome, listing and sale of that townhome 5 years later, building from “dirt-up” and purchase of this beautiful brand new 4 bedroom home with her husband, Victor.
On close of escrow day, we reminiscenced about the journey to this point. How over 5 years they completely renovated the townhome and turned it into an energy efficient home by installing improvements like tankless water heater, all double pane energy efficient windows and doors. How their vision and hard work paid off and they sold the townhome for a substantial profit. How the concept of “energy efficiency” fully drove the design of their new home with full solar panels and no electric bills, all energy star appliances; they even built in a plug for their next electric car. We laughed about the guava jam that Michelle made each year from the guava tree in their townhome and how she delivered a jar to me every year. We mulled over all the wonderful ways they will enjoy their beautiful new entertainer’s kitchen which seemed to be 4 times the size of their old kitchen (no exaggeration), how they intend to turn one of the bedrooms into Michelle’s sewing and crafts room, about how they will wake up on weekends and lounge in their upstairs patio adjacent to the master bedroom and enjoy spectacular views of majestic California mountains, about barbequing with family in the back yard in the spring, about how their puppy will have a field day “christening the new house”, and about the upcoming emotional reveal to their entire family of this wonderful accomplishment.
Michelle caught me shed a little tear as we gobbled down those delicious cheese biscuits at Red Lobster, and said “it’s like your kids are growing up”. I am truly proud of their accomplishment which is only achieved by visionary goal setting, tenacious focus, and precise “navy-seal-like”execution.
