your FOREVER home

First home. Move up home. Downsize home. Temporary home. Investment home. FOREVER home.

When I first speak with someone about their housing needs, I typically get a response that falls into one of these categories. No one category is right or wrong. The category simply describes the need that my client has at the time. From my perspective, a FOREVER home is a unique category as it fills a need that goes deeper than just square footage and age of the kitchen renovation. There is something about the house that resonates with them.

The purchasers of this sweet cape cod in Lititz PA loved everything about it even before they saw the inside. The size (just right!), the location (near family and 4th of July fireworks). The shaded back yard (more family time to be had there). When I showed the house to them and they started talking about which bedroom to use when they are old and gray (first floor), I knew this was their FOREVER home.

In the cut and dry realm of real estate statistics, it's fun for me to see the connection that clients make with a particular home. We start with the statistics of a home but the clients don't know their FOREVER home until they see it. When we're in a home and they visualize the senior prom photos taken on the grand foyer staircase for their (now) first grader, annual Thanksgiving dinner clean up bonding happening in the kitchen and the yet to be born grandkids playing in the backyard creek; that's when they know. When they see it, the stars align, a dream is realized and what an honor it is for me to be there when it does!

"Thank you Jill for helping us to get our FOREVER home! You made our dreams come true." A humbling message from a recent client. I quietly work hard on the back end of a real estate transaction so my clients have the time to see themselves live life in their FOREVER home.
