CLOSED: 5033 Adkins Avenue in South City

I adore assisting 1st-time Buyers, and this fabulous transaction went off without a hitch! Closed. My clients duked it out with competition to contract this gem, and they are saving significant money monthly by becoming Home Owners. The mortgage of this adorable historic brick bungalow is almost $1000 less than their current rent. Such a win. Amazing! 

 

Congrats, Team Adkins and thank you for putting your trust in me. I truly enjoyed my time with you!  In addition, a sincere thank you to M for her kind referral.

CLOSED: 4916 Delor in South City

Hey hey, hello Friday...

Lovely Delor, a handsome 1921 South City brick bungalow, closed escrow yesterday afternoon!  I am incredibly excited for my first-time Home Buyer clients, J and E.  Not only is their new home dreamy, but their mortgage payment is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the rent they have been paying.  Monthly savings while building an equity nest egg... that is what ownership is all about!

One of the most coveted aspects of my job is working with first time home buyers as I really see it as an incredible teaching opportunity.  These two?  Total pros and an absolute PLEASURE from day one.  Congrats Team Delor and a special thank you to my sweet friend A for her thoughtful referral.  I feel so blessed to have these folks in my life!

Well friends, what can I say?  2021 has started off with a bang!  Rates are still incredibly low, the tight inventory market remains swift, and the St. Louis real estate industry pushed right through the holidays without pause.  

I have a feeling that this year is going to break records!

Summer Fun in Lafayette Square

Lafayette Square Historic District is one of my absolute favorite St. Louis neighborhoods, between the gorgeous late-19th century Victorian architecture and the dozens of terrific shops and eateries. That being said, the true draw and charm of Lafayette Square is how cohesive the people that live there are. If you have never, head there this summer to enjoy some of their activities in the park which is the epicenter of activity in this special area... 

Great fun!

Just for Fun: Gotta love that St. Louis brick!

On a South city street where many of the historic brick homes look similar, you my lovely...

...stand out in the crowd!✨ 

Check out those dormers! Aren’t the architectural details intricate and special, friends?
