Seller’s Chronicles - From Open House to Lifelong Friends: Our Very First Clients
Episode 1: Listed Feb 04
Back in 2007, we were hosting an open house in Bloomington…
A young couple walked in with their three little girls. Like many first-time buyers, they were excited… and a little nervous. Buying your first home is a big deal. It’s not just about square footage — it’s about stability, memories, and building a future.
We connected instantly.
They trusted us to guide them through their first purchase. That home became the backdrop for birthday parties, school mornings, and family milestones.
A few years later, their needs changed. The girls were growing, life was evolving, and it was time for another move. We helped them sell that first home and purchase a new one in New Hope — a space that better fit the next season of life.
And now here we are, nearly two decades later.
Those three little girls are grown. The family is entering a completely new chapter — one that looks less like “starter home” and more like “lifestyle by design.”
They’re considering:
• Land north of the Twin Cities so he can care for his horse and enjoy space.
• Or possibly a low-maintenance townhome that allows them to travel more freely.
Before any of that happens, though, we listed their current home.
Within 7 days, we received a full offer.
After all these years, the trust is still there. The strategy still works. And the friendship is stronger than ever.
This is what long-term real estate relationships look like. Not one transaction. Not two. But walking alongside a family as life changes.
