HIDDEN GEM: Russell's Cafe and Bakery

I am no food blogger, though I know a delicious lunch when I have one, St. Louis. Russell’s moved in down the street from our house not long ago, and we have been itching to try it...

The seasonal Beet Salad was lovely and well, their biscuits?  Leave your diet at home as they are SO worth the calories, accompanied by fresh jam, honey, and whipped butter!   If you have never visited a Russell's, they boast 3 locations: Russell's on Macklind, Russell's Cafe and Bakery in Chesterfield, and Russell's Cafe and Bakery in Fenton.

CLOSED: 2019 Pincian in Rockwood School District

That is one thing that I know to be the absolute truth after 15 years in the real estate industry.  If an adored past client is kind enough to pass along my name to a friend, it is almost assured that we will get along splendidly.  When I received this referral from D and L, I just knew in my heart that they would be good people. Boy, was I right. That is why a referral is so valuable to a Realtor, as 9 times out of 10, it makes for a wonderful transaction.

2019 Pincian closed escrow today, and what a terrific double transaction it was with the B family.  Selling the first home is an incredibly emotional process for a family, as it is essentially closing Chapter 1, the foundation of a life together.  Juggling the emotions with the logistics of moving from one home to another however, particularly with a toddler in the mix, is a whole other ballgame.  Recall my personal moving experience with toddlers.  It is stressful!

My incredible clients? They handled it like pros!

Team Pincian- thank you for everything. I truly enjoyed working with you three and am confident that your chapter 2 journey has amazing things in store.  Congratulations and thank you again!

D and L- once again, I truly appreciate you passing along my name.  You are the best!  I am so lucky to know you and am proud to call you my friends.

Under Contract: #2019 Pincian in Rockwood Schools

It was a fantastic morning for my Sellers on Pincian!  The property went under contract and closes escrow in July.  The new Buyer is super lucky to inherit this adorable little ranch and I am excited for the B family's next big move.  Congrats on a terrific morning, Team Pincian!
