You can choose your neighbors!!!!



Yesterday I had the opportunity to travel to Ravenna, Ohio (Shalersville Twp. to be exact), to meet with a future client about selling their property. Beautiful home and barn with riding arena, pastures and woods. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
"Why would you want to leave this piece of countryside"?

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard the reply....."downsize".

Alright....from 68 acres, to........34 acres!

I just loved the response. They want to move next door to an existing property consisting of 34 acres and a barn and build a new smaller home. They will still have there lovely horses, and their Texas Long Horn cattle..........(no moving adjustment for the livestock there) and they can pick their new neighbors! Talk about the ability to "have it all".

Sounds wonderfully logical doesn't it? Half the land, half the house and half the work. However, in this day and age, they have given new meaning to the real estate term "downsize".

I am loving this job!
