This is how it all started...

Driving around one day, while trying to get the kids to be dizzy enough to fall asleep, we stumbled upon an abandoned house, on a corner, with an alley! Cristy and I looked at each other, and we both kinda knew, this could be our lot!! There were no for sale signs, or anything for that matter, that would give is any inclination or who to contact or if it were even for sale...

So that night, on www.zillow.com we searched the property and were surprised to see that it WAS for sale! 125K. We thought it was a steal at that price, but thought we could do better, of course! We reached out to the our good friend, Melissa Delisle, a realtor. Before we knew it, we were in contact with the seller and found ourselves in a bidding war with, coincidentally, another architect for the property! The final price was 95K and after months of dealing with what was probably the shadiest group of brokers (who wanted us to close immediately with no attorney's and thought that by us hiring attorney's were being "paranoid" and "purposefully causing delays"!) Anyway, our attorney, Leslie Flores, was awesome and we finally did the closing, on our terms, on March 31, 2011.
