AT HOME WITH
Kyle & Courtney
Glen Ellyn, Illinois | Represented by Candace Altosino
Kyle and Courtney are 3x M&Co. clients! They originally purchased their Roscoe Village condo with Melanie back in 2018. With a growing family, they decided it was time for more space and set their sights on the western suburbs.
I met with Kyle & Courtney in mid-May, and we chatted about their wants, needs, and the super competitive market they were about to encounter. They were just a week away from welcoming their sweet baby girl, so we decided to hold off until she made her arrival.
Just a few days later, a new house came on the market in Glen Ellyn. It checked all the boxes and was truly a dream home for this soon-to-be family of four. We knew we had to act fast. The problem was that the only showings available were while they were in the hospital. I went to preview the home and sent them a video walkthrough on Thursday. We were notified later that night that the sellers had already received multiple offers. We strategized Friday morning and prepped our offer. Kyle was able to sneak away from the hospital on Saturday with Courtney’s mom and see the home in person, further confirming that this was the one for them.
We submitted an aggressive offer and crossed our fingers. The sellers were so impressed with Kyle and Courtney’s determination to get this home amidst the arrival of their baby girl that they chose our offer! We were all ecstatic. The home officially became theirs a few weeks later. It was such a joy representing these repeat clients and sharing so many exciting milestones with them in a few short weeks. Congrats, Kyle and Courtney!
A Few Quick Questions for Kyle & Courtney
How many homes did you look at before finding yours? This was the first home we looked at when we were seriously ready to buy, which is wild! We really weren’t expecting to find exactly what we wanted so quickly! We were very lucky.
How did you know this was The One? Everything about the home was perfect for our family. It was cozy, yet roomy. It had the charm of an old home (including creaky floors) and was updated in all the right ways (first-floor bathroom, light fixtures, paint). The fenced-in yard was ideal for our energetic toddler. Its conveniently located to downtown Glen Ellyn and only a couple blocks from some of our closest friends!
