It Was Just... "Meant To Be...?" You know when certain things... experiences... or paths come about in your life, and you think, "how on earth did I get here?" I'm having one of those moments right now. In fact, I've been having those "stars are aligning" (a.k.a. prayers answered!) moments since we made the past several big life decisions. It's like the universe is pulling, pushing, and placing us right here. How ELSE could one feel when they

In the Fall of 2019, we relocated and moved across the country from coast to coast - from California to North Carolina. 2,663 miles total. 39 hours in all. So many people have the desire to move but can't wrap their mind around the logistics. It's too overwhelming. But that's where we can help and if our story eases your mind, we are thrilled. If we could do it over again, we'd do it the exact same way. You can do it too. We'd be happy to help you!

We live here, we love it here, we found our dream lifestyle here. We are much like you. You're probably moving to a new place you don't know much about or find yourself considering it. You want to know if the town looks like the pictures (yes, it does, but even better in person). You need someone who not only lives here but has been through the process. Who understands what you need. You need a guide, a support system, and a local resource you can trust - and one that's been

We relocated here years ago from across the country with a car full, a senior dog, and a toddler. While that was fun (yikes!), it was so worth it. We absolutely 1000% LOVE IT HERE. We are crazy about this place. We feel honored and blessed to raise our kids here! Back when John

By now you know we relocated to North Carolina from California. But why? How? I'll tell you all about it, in detail, in this blog post. It all began with a ton of online research - youtube, zillow, live cams, galore.... It continued with many discussions - here, there, or where? It was confirmed with a long plane ride (and many toddler snacks). It became a reality with the hard work of our real estate agents on each coast. It was logistically possible with ABF Freight and 4 h

A mistake we see is real estate agents sharing every single step involved in the often complicated process of buying and selling a home, property, land, or other entity. Intentions are usually good. They provide a "roadmap" for clients to understand each phase of the process, as a way to share detail and increase transparency. "Here's your 30 step process...." (YIKES!) While we are very much aligned with the importance of transparency and solid communication, we do not want t
