This one started with tears.
My clients called me because life had changed overnight. A major medical issue in their family meant they could no longer maintain the beautiful acreage property they had dreamed of living on forever.
That first meeting was emotional. Wildflower wasn’t just a house. It was the plan. The garden. The shop. The hot tub under the stars. The views that stretched for miles.
But sometimes the right move isn’t the easy one. It’s the necessary one.
So we got to work.
Phase 1: Selling the Dream on Wildflower
Their property was special.
A manufactured home with a beautiful shop addition.
Several acres.
Lush gardens.
A hot tub.
Sweeping rural views.
We positioned it strategically in the market and launched. It didn’t take long before showings started stacking up.
One of the buyers from the very first round of showings fell in love immediately and wrote an offer. We secured a clean contract and moved into escrow quickly.
And this is something I don’t take for granted. It was smooth.
Given the emotional weight of this move, the last thing my clients needed was drama. The transaction flowed cleanly, which felt like a gift.
Phase 2: Finding the Right Replacement Home
At the same time, we were actively searching for their next chapter.
They needed lower maintenance.
Closer proximity to family.
Especially their grandchildren.
Less acreage, less upkeep, less stress.
We found a strong option and wrote an offer. Immediately, we were up against a competing offer that came in stronger. More money and no home-sale contingency.
We lost.
It stung, but we didn’t panic. We recalibrated.
Shortly after, we found an even better match.
The Win
We wrote a clean, strategic offer and secured the property for $19,850 below the original list price.
Yes. In this market.
But we weren’t done.
During inspections, we discovered an issue with the sewer line. The kind of surprise that can derail momentum fast.
Instead of letting it spiral, I negotiated:
✔︎ A closing cost credit
✔︎ Repairs addressed prior to closing
We kept it calm. We kept it moving.
The Outcome
We closed both transactions without a hitch.
They moved into their new home immediately, now just minutes from their family and grandchildren.
Is it different from Wildflower? Yes.
Is it right for this season of life? Absolutely.
This wasn’t just a sell-and-buy transaction. It was a life transition handled with care, clarity, and strategy.
Watching them settle into a home that supports their family during a difficult medical season reminds me why I do this. It’s incredibly fulfilling.
Congratulations to the M family. Welcome home!
