I used to do an "elevator commercial" at a networking group, that went like this, "Births, deaths and empty nests. Upsize, Downsize or No size (lose a job). Marraige or Divorce (which may lead to remorse) are all life changes that often lead to making a change in people's real estate goals."
And it's TRUE!
On Friday, Donald and Megan recieved the keys to their new home. They were first time buyers and were expecting their first child. I loved them from our initial meeting. They were attentive to the process, asked great questions and were excited to get started. After a couple of weeks taking care of a few details for their loan, we went looking.
We found a wonderful house in a very nice neighborhood. The house was nicely kept both inside and out and had plenty of room for an expanding family.
Here's a photograph of Donald and Megan posing in front of their home on closing day:
As you can see, Megan is very pregnant!
Well, I always call after a client moves in to their new home to make sure that everything went smoothly and that there were no "surprises" that we couldn't anticipate. I called Donald on Monday and didn't get him live. On Tuesday, I got the following message:
"Hi Greg!
Sorry for not returning your call, things got a bit hectic around here. We got moved over on Saturday, with Megan directing. We didn't get even a full nights rest in the new house when at 4am Sunday Megan's water broke. Went into the hospital around 7am. After a long day for Megan and I, our beautiful baby boy Neil was born at 2.53am on April 9th. It was excellent timing, as both our parents were in town to help us move, so they got to unpack our stuff, setup the baby's room and meet him on Monday.
