Our first time buyer son and his first time buyer future wife (that’s just fun to say) have closed on their home! A three bedroom home in district 204 with a full finished basement, backing to a park for under $200,000… and … it was in great shape!
I knew that he had some really good friends but for almost a week Colin, Colleen and Matt have been painting, fixing and moving stuff for them. What a nice group! My wife Lisa is the gardener and I am the occasional grunt guy. Lisa has been working pretty hard.
It made us think about all of our friends when we bought our first house in Chicago: Adam, Janet, Danny, Laurie, Susan O (helped with the next house too!) and Pete (Stretch). It was nice to think back and realize (again!) what terrific friends we had too.
Thanks again to all of you that made this a smooth transaction and thanks to all of our friends that were there for us.
Congrats to both of them the first one seems like the first home purchase has allot more pressure and stress that comes with not having gone through the process.
