This weekend has been an adventurous one. It started with a closing for my client at 2pm. Now when I met Billy last year, at our consultation he mentioned that when he purchased this house he would propose to his girlfriend. I was like “Oh my gosh. That would be amazing!”. Then the woman in me came out and was like, “are you strictly choosing the house or will she be with us?” He informed me she’d be along the journey. Woman we are very particular and our happily ever after home has to be perfect for us. Yes, the notion of gifting a house as part of the proposal is sweet but it can’t be any house.
So I was determined to help find the happily ever after home. Mind you Chelsie did not know about this part. She just knew they were going to buy a house and she wanted a yard big enough for a pool. I was able to say let’s do a master-planned community that has a pool to keep costs low for you guys.
It was then that we found a community outside of Lancaster, Texas that fit their needs. Building a new home takes so time so I completely forgot about Billy’s gesture. It wasn’t until Friday came and he was like today is my birthday. What a sweet birthday present as you close on your new home! He looks at me again and was like today is the big day. Suddenly I remembered and was equally excited.
He had the place and time down to the science. The place: their new home. The time: Around 6:30 to 7 when all their family members would be present to come view the home.
I rushed back down to be apart of this experience because it feels good when your clients welcome you into their world outside of buying their home. I always say real estate is so much more than opening doors and collecting a check. There is a bond that is built and my clients really become my extended family after the transaction.
Here are some snippets from that day which included a brand new home, marriage proposal, and a birthday celebration! What a Happy Day!!!
That’s 1 down and 35 to crown in 2016. Congratulation Billy and Chelsie! Wishing you guys the best to come with your future marriage, family, and now home.
