You know how it goes in our neck of the woods – the Monahans and Permian Basin real estate market can be as unpredictable as our summer thunderstorms. So, when I started working with this couple, eager to find their new home, I knew we were in for quite the ride. They were looking for a place to grow their family, but let me tell you, the market wasn’t making it easy! Every time we checked out a house, it felt like a mini adventure, complete with its ups and downs. And then, it happened. We found this one home – nothing too flashy, but oh-so-perfect for them. The moment we walked in, their faces lit up like kids on Christmas morning. But the real magic was in the backyard. It was a bit rough around the edges, but they new that they could make it work. It was still a great size yard for the kids to be able to play! It’s moments like these, seeing that spark of future happiness, that remind me why I love doing what I do. It’s not just about houses and contracts; it’s about dreams, hopes, and a whole lot of patience and persistence.
