Some transactions stay with you for reasons that have very little to do with real estate.
Keisha came to me with a short list of things she really wanted in her new home. The right value. The right location. A pantry. And after everything she had accomplished, a bathroom of her own was very much earned.
We saw homes that were bigger. Homes that checked plenty of boxes.
But then we walked into this one.
It had been meticulously cared for by its previous owners, and you could feel it. There was something about the home that couldn’t be measured in square footage or compared on a feature sheet.
Keisha simply felt like she was home.
And then she did something I will never forget.
She kept the purchase a secret from her two children for an entire month while she prepared their new bedrooms, painting each one in colours chosen especially for them and getting everything ready before they knew a thing.
On the day of the surprise, they thought they were simply stopping at someone’s house to pick something up.
Instead, they walked into their own home.
I was fortunate enough to be sent the video of that moment, and I don’t think I will ever forget watching it.
There was so much more behind this purchase than buying a property. It represented what one determined woman had worked incredibly hard to create for herself and her children.
Keisha, thank you for trusting me to be part of such an important chapter in your family’s story, and for taking the time to share these beautiful words about your experience working with me.
This one will stay with me. ❤️
