After 26 years of Navy life, countless moves, and more houses than we can possibly remember, finding our home felt like it carried a little more weight this time.
And we could not have asked for a better person to help us find it than Sara.
Sara took us on what seemed like endless tours, patiently walking through house after house as we tried to figure out exactly what we wanted. She asked all the right questions of homeowners, agents, inspectors, and anyone else who could give us insight. She paid attention to the little things, listened to our concerns, and always made sure we had the information we needed to make the right decision for our family.
There were definitely moments when we wondered if we were ever going to find the one. We walked away from homes we thought might work, kept searching, and sometimes wondered if we would ever find a place that truly felt right. Sara never let us get discouraged. She kept reminding us that the right home was out there and that we would know it when we found it.
And then we did.
After 26 years of moving because the Navy told us where we were going next, it is an incredibly special feeling to finally choose a place because we wanted to call it home.
Sara, we hope you know how much you meant to us throughout this journey. You were so much more than our realtor. You were our steady voice when we felt discouraged, our advocate when we had questions, and the person who kept believing we would find the right place even when we weren't sure ourselves. You never made us feel rushed or like we were asking too much. You simply stayed beside us and kept looking until we found the place that was right for our family.
We will always be grateful that you were the person beside us for such an important chapter of our lives. After so many years of moving, we finally found a place where we can put down roots, make memories, and truly feel at home.
Thank you, Sara, for your patience, your kindness, your incredible attention to detail, and most of all, helping us find our place in the PNW. We didn't just find a home with your help; we gained someone we will always be grateful to have had in our corner.
You will forever be part of the story of how, after 26 years of moving, we finally found our way home.
