Happy we could close this for the new buyers! It's also a great day when you get to close a transaction for sellers that happen to be some lifelong friends!

Thank you Ashley Cook-Gateway Properties for working so hard on this, even while you were on vacation!!!

Also a big thank you to Sarah Perkins with Mossy Oak for always being kind, helpful, and responsive in the process!

This house is a SPECIAL one! It may still hold the title of the most viewed listing I have ever had. Not because of me, but because it is SO incredibly unique!

It was a BIG day for the Sellers, this morning their sweet girl with the precious pink room graduated pre-k and this afternoon they passed the keys on to a new family who will no doubt enjoy it! No worries, the Sellers still reside in an incredibly unique property, just one with acreage! 🚜

And we can’t leave out Independence County Abstract and Sarah Perkins with Mossy Oak, thanks for being great on this one!

Are YOU looking for an incredibly unquie residence? Call ME! ☎️ I would love to help YOU! 🫵🏻

Happy to get this closed for the buyer and seller! Thank you Ashley Cook-Gateway Properties and
Megan Ramsey with Venture Realty Group - Batesville!

The Brightwell family may have closed a chapter today by selling this home, but they will never let go of all the memories made here through the years.

I know it’s bittersweet. We experienced this when my Dad and Aunt had to make the hard choice to sell my grandparents home. New memories will soon be made on Betty Jean by the family moving in. I am so thankful for Rex and Dalton’s trust in me to help get them to the finish line.

Ashton Martin at Independence County Abstract deserves an award for her diligence in assisting Rex with help involved with the closing part of the transaction.

Thank you Megan Ramsey with Venture Realty for being such a great teammate as the Buyer’s Agent! 👊🏻

I have said it before and I will say it again, my clients are INCREDIBLE! Thank you for with ME! ❤️

Congratulations to the Riley's!

Thank you Sherlyn Orantes, Realtor at Venture Realty Group - Batesville for letting us serve your first-time homebuyer!

And thank you to Clay Neal with Gateway Properties and congratulations to your seller!

✨ FIRST TIME HOMEOWNERS- YOU DID IT!✨🏡🤍

Some closings just hit a little more personally — and this was one of them. 🥹

My sweet client reached out to me after all these years because we went to high school together, and being trusted to help him and his beautiful better half purchase their very first home honestly means more than I can put into words. ✨

Life moves so fast, and sometimes you don’t realize the impact people leave on your journey until years later. The fact that he thought about me during such an important milestone in their lives is something I’ll never take lightly. 🤍

Watching first-time home buyers get the keys to a place they can truly call HOME will never get old to me. The excitement, the hard work, the dreams, the “we actually did it” moment at the closing table — it’s special every single time. 🔑🏡

Congratulations to these two on this amazing new chapter together. Thank y’all for trusting me and thinking about me to guide you through the process 🤍

BUYERS AND SELLERS CLOSED🎉

This one came with its fair share of hurdles 😅

I can honestly say I’ve never seen an appraisal come back with quite this many—or this type of—repair requirements. It definitely kept us on our toes!

But with a committed buyer, committed sellers, and a team willing to work through the details, we were able to keep things moving and get it across the finish line.

Big thanks to Stephen Longinotti, VP - Secondary Mortgage Originator NMLS: 2185168
for his pro work on the lending side and to Independence County Abstract Company for accommodating a last-minute, after-hours closing when that clear to close came in just in time to get our buyer out of his rental before another month’s rent was due 🙌

We are here to help you NEXT!

Wow! This transaction was one to remember! Congratulations to the buyer and seller!
Thank you Ashley Cook-Gateway Properties and Levi Hix with Rich Realty!

December 2024- that is when this house went under contract. Sadly, the Seller passed away before it closed, and the probate process began. The daughter of the Seller was overwhelmed, living in another state and trying to take care of a home as well as work through the probate process while dealing with the loss of her mom. I can't even imagine.

Working with Levi Hix at Rich Realty was the BEST teammate I could have had! Patient, willing and ready! His clients understood what my Seller was going through and loved the house enough to stick it out for 17 MONTHS!! Independence County Abstract was right there with us consulting with the out of state attorney to make sure we could get this house CLOSED, thank you Ashton and Kyle!

Estate planning is important; we never know what will happen tomorrow. It is not a fun subject but a necessary one. Here are some local attorneys that can help you, if you are needing one.
