Sometimes the best part of an inspection has nothing to do with the house 🧡 and sometimes a really great connection is waiting on the other side of the transaction.
Today, Jeremy had the opportunity to spend some time with the seller of a home we were inspecting for our buyers.
Meet Art. He’s been married for 68 years and still refers to his wife as “my bride” 🥹💞
He’s also a retired Air Force veteran who is preparing to say goodbye to his home to relocate out of state.
What really stood out was the thought he put into who would live there next.
Art wanted his home to go to a first-time homebuyer, ideally a young family who would bring new life to the neighborhood. He was thinking about the neighbors he’d be leaving behind and the community he had been part of for so long.
And as it turns out, the buyers are Air Force veterans, too❤️ and they are a young family buying their first home!
Coming off an election, with so much attention on what divides us, this little encounter felt especially meaningful.
Here’s a man who has spent a lifetime loving his family, serving his country, and being part of a community. And even as he’s preparing to leave, he’s still thinking about the people who will remain.
That’s legacy. That’s what being a good neighbor looks like.
People like Art are the shoulders we stand on. And moments like today remind us that the things that matter most often have very little to do with the things making the most noise.
Sometimes it’s simply caring about the people around you- including the ones you may never even meet.
We’re grateful Jeremy got to spend a little time with Art today and that we got to play a small part in this chapter of his story ❤️🏡
