This home has an excellent location on a cul-de sac with a west-facing back yard.  The deck has been completed and there is a cobblestone pathway and a fire pit in the backyard.  The landscaping is completed.  The rumpus room and the bathroom downstairs are complete and there is room for another 2 bedrooms down.  This home is in pristine condition and is ready for you to just move in and enjoy.  You must take the virtual tour as still pictures and words alone  just cannot do this home justice.

On Sunday morning when the phone rings answer it!!!

Sunday morning we were sitting and reading the newspaper and enjoying our coffee when the phone rang at 9 a.m. 

Did we rant and rave that someone had their nerve phoning us on a Sunday morning.  No, we just got up and answered the phone.  On the line was a very apologetic but anxious to buy BUYER, THAT HAD ALREADY SOLD THEIR HOME  YESTERDAY AND WANTED TO BUY A HOME THAT DAY!!!

They had been hoping to be able to work with a local realtor who could really tell them about the community that they had stumbled upon.  Chestermere reminded them of their home in Sherwood Park, so after driving around they did a search and came upon our website. 

I did a search and found them 3 homes that fit their criteria.  We called and arranged appointments and Doug showed them the homes and the community. 

As we had finished writing the offer on the home they wish to purchase other realtorsIwere returning the messages that they had left the night before...

Often we cannot help people on short notice, but it did work out for us and for our new neighbour. 

We will continue to help them settle into the neighbourhood.  They have a son that is just the right age to join the Youth Group that Marjorie is active in.  She is an avid reader, so she will enjoy the book club that Marjorie belongs to.  We will help them settle and met people and make sure that they are happy in their new home.  That is just what area specialists do.

Just because we answered the phone, we have a sale and we have met new friends.  It is a wonderful life.
