Jamily’s Favorite Real Estate Story

My mother is a lady of many virtues. She's an entrepreneur, a go-getter, a dreamer, an extremely successful business owner, and incredibly smart. When she asked me to help her buy a fixer-upper home I was so excited! Not only was it the first home she had purchased in over 19 years but it wasn't even in Jacksonville! I was able to help her win in multiple offers on a foreclosure blocks from Siesta Key Beach in the Gulf of Mexico. It was such a special time for us both. I was stretched as a REALTOR® in more ways than one while juggling an important transaction 300 miles away. But more importantly I watched my mom fall in love with a new property with endless possibilities for her future! She basically gutted the place and the renovation is almost complete. She gets a fresh start in a place she designed on her own and I couldn't be more proud of her. Helping her buy this home was by far my favorite transaction but not just because it was so close to home (haha) but because I witnessed what I think every REALTOR® strives to see in their customers: complete joy, excitement and confidence. My mom and I were both immensely blessed by the house on Siesta Drive.
