New Home Search

The House Hunt Sage – We Made An Offer
We found “The Builder Basic” and made an offer. We loved the area and the price was right so we could afford to do all the upgrades needed. We put our house on the market and it sold in 6 days, so moving was a definite GO.

Merry Christmas From Our New House
We moved in the week before Christmas. We managed to arrange one room and put up a small tree in time for Christmas. Truly a Blessing to be closer and to enjoy the holidays with our family.
I never imagined last January that so many changes would take place. We are thrilled to be moved and starting a new adventure closer to family and in our wonderful “Builder Basic.”
Was your year full of adventures and changes too?
