Choosing a home with your special treasure in mind!

Choosing your new home with a special piece of furniture in mind, that unique piece Grandma gave you or perhaps a wedding gift from years ago? We want those treasured items to have placement in our new homes that are just as priceless as the space they are being moved from!

As a Realtor I hear my buyers talk about their "Rare Gems" these gems have followed them from their apartments to houses to a new house again! Sometimes I get to hear the story behind their special pieces of furniture, proud & happy to share the history with me and why the "new house" has to have just the right spot for it.

A couple buyers come to mind when I think of finding the right home with the right location for the treasured pieces. I almost feel like I have seen them for years even though I have never seen them at all... When my friend and buyer Sue finds just the right place to put her grandfather clock... I know she loves the house. Carol looks for the perfect dining room wall for her grandmothers antique hutch, Susan always wants to find the perfect corner for her Christmas tree! Gentlemen buyers are completely different; usually it is a gun case, a desk or maybe a mounted fox they want a special place for. Yes...guys also have treasures to find the right location for in the new house, theirs are just a little different than us ladies!

I guess I like getting wrapped up in the story behind my buyers furniture pieces, their favorite pictures they love to show case, the rose bush they are digging up and taking with them... a piece of someone’s family history shared with me as their
Realtor is a very nice thing indeed!!

Let me know if you have a timeless treasure that needs a new home, I'd love to help you find just the right spot for it...
