CLOSED: 2551 Viola Gill Ln in Wildwood

What an awesome busy week it has been, heading to the finish line with this gem...

Gorgeous Viola Gill closed escrow this morning, and the sweet B duo traded their large family home for this low-maintenance Wildwood newer construction that is MUCH closer to their growing family and (literally) a minute from the Wildwood Town Center.

This morning as I sipped my coffee and tied up the loose ends on this one, I did a brief reflection of 2020 thus far, at least as far as my business goes.  This Spring has been a challenge for everyone in life and profession and finances.  However, I have had the opportunity to work with the kindest and most gracious folks this year. After 19 years in this business, I recognize a distinct ebb and flow.  Deals vary from smooth to difficult, clients vary from accommodating to more challenging.  They truly do balance one another, keep me on my toes at all times.  Spring of 2020, however, has gifted me with THE most lovely people and I am incredibly grateful.

My time spent outside of my house is limited like everyone else due to COVID-19.  My 2020 clients, thus far, have made that time incredibly pleasurable and for that... wow, I am lucky.

The B duo are wonderful, plain and simple.  Their family is amazing and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to help them in their exciting downsize.  Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS, sweet J and M. 

If you are contemplating a 2020 move, the market is fast and furious, friends. I am an incredibly COVID-19 safe and aware agent.  I have established new virus business protocols to ensure the safety of your family (and mine), while taking advantage of this incredible market!  Let's connect...

Under Contract: 2551 Viola Gill Ln in Wildwood

Hello, Friday...

... Happy Buyers! The word came in early this morning that my clients contracted this adorable Wildwood newer construction not far from Wildwood Towne Center.  Talk about curb appeal?!  I can already see the sweet B duo sipping iced tea on their new front porch this Summer!

This cutie closes escrow in June.  See the full listing HERE. A warm congratulations and thank you to the amazing B Family!

In St. Louis and throwing around a move?  Have questions about COVID-19's impact on the housing market and the safest way to navigate it?  Let's connect!  The market is swift, the industry has shifted significantly to meet demand while keeping people safe, and I am here to help guide you through it...  

Under Contract: 16870 Babler View in Wildwood

Nothing says "Happy Friday" like...

Yippee!  My sweet Buyers, the B Family, contracted this gorgeous ranch late last night.  Personally, I adore this section of Wildwood, as being less than 5 minutes from Babler State Park, it is surrounded by incredible wildlife!  The Nenonens have spent many Quarantine hours on the isolated wooded trails of Babler recently.

Yesterday was the very first day on market for this one, and let me tell you, Babler View was ONE BUSY PLACE.  We weren't surprised when several Buyers opted to pull the trigger at the same time resulting in a multiple contract scenario. Thanks to a carefully written escalation clause, our contract beat out the competition and my amazing Buyers close escrow in June! YES.

The B family has been an absolute dream to work with.  To say that I am ecstatic for them is an understatement.  Congratulations to them and a sincere THANK YOU for their unwavering confidence, loyalty, and trust.

Despite the COVID-19 shift in HOW business is conducted, the market is still BLAZING in St. Louis!  Buyers are motivated, Sellers are getting fast and high offers, and everyone is mindful and respectful in taking extreme caution to ensure safety and social distancing.

In St. Louis and contemplating a future move?  Spring 2020, despite the COVID shift, remains an incredibly healthy and lucrative market for both Buyers and Sellers.  I am still conducting a healthy amount of business with caution via virtual options, a mask, gloves, Clorox wipes, and from well over 6 feet away.  Have questions about the COVID impact on the housing market or contemplating getting off the sidelines?  Let's connect!  Rates are low, pace is high, and the practices are incredibly cautious and safe.

A morning on the trails at Babler State Park...

No truer words said, friends. 5 miles of solitude with my girl. ❤️

CLOSED: #617 Oak Springs Trail Drive in Ballwin

This beauty closed escrow today...

A sincere thank you and congratulations to the D family for their friendship, trust, and due diligence. This sale was an emotional one for the family, hence, I was humbled by the opportunity to help. It means so much!  

Team Oak Springs took every single ounce of my preparation advice, from stripping wallpaper to repainting, and their attention-to-detail paid off at the closing table.  Competing contracts, 100% as-is, full price offer. Yes!  While this closing is bittersweet, I am so happy for my sweet Sellers and appreciate everything that they did to help make this a quick and seamless sale.  Congrats, friends.

Under Contract: #617 Oak Springs Trail Drive in Ballwin

I welcomed Monday morning in Casa de Nenonen with my trusty sidekick, a steamy mug of oolong, and a new pending sale...

Yippee! Congratulations to Team Oak Springs Trail for a successful sale this weekend. 

In the traditional Midwest, where our weather is incredibly unpredictable, it’s difficult to forecast how the 1st quarter real estate market will perform.  Between the snow this weekend and unique circumstances that required a more challenging as-is sale for this one, we took a gamble going active in January...

... but the gamble paid off.  In fact, we close escrow in just a few short weeks! Gorgeous home, an excited Buyer, and a happy day for my amazing Sellers.  

 In St. Louis and contemplating a move in 2020? 1st quarter is starting strong with eager Buyers and low inventory!  The time to plan is now and I would love to be considered for your representation!
