Once in a while, and really not very often, surprisingly, I find a house that really speaks to me. Personally. I don't know what it is about this house but I LOVE IT! I did the Open House here this Saturday. I think I have kind of a quirky sense for homes. This one says "Hey - welcome home" as soon as you walk in. - which reminds me of a story -
So, it's a few years ago, I still had my own company and every day I would drive my ratty old mini van into the parking lot. My agents and employees were ashamed of my car - they implored me to get something that didn't make the parking lot look ugly. (We Realtors - some at least, are kinda into appearances - go figure)
Anyways, I had been car shopping for a car that "suited my stature" - whatever (the van was paid for!). I looked at Mercedes, I looked at Cadillac, I looked at BMW, I looked at Volvo - Every Upper echelon (snoot snoot) of the car world I looked at - 6 months looking. Nothing was right - ya know? Right. I was at the Lexus dealer in Modesto one day, nope, not it...I noticed a lot behind the Lexus dealership - Hmmm - what's that?,,,
I saw this Little Red car calling me - I went over to it. I said "Hey"... it said "Hey". I opened the door. The car literally moved for me! - The seat slid back, the dashboard retracted - the steering wheel got out of the way - "Come on in" said the car... Shiznit! Wow! I thought. I got in - the sales guy came over - I closed the door. The seat moved forward, it hugged me. The steering wheel came forward... "Let's go for a ride" said the car.
Holy Crackers! - This car was better than any date EVER! This car knew me!!!! I looked around inside. CD player, Sun Roof, Power Everything. Cool looking dash, Cool looking interior. I rolled down the window, I asked the sales guy "How Much?"... he told me... "Sold!" I said. - Drove home with that baby two hours later - only cuz hubby had to haggle of course. It was an Infiniti G35, 2005. I loved that damn car. I still do. Haven't seen anything ever like it. I miss that car.
This has happened to me only a few times in my life. Not counting when I saw my children and my husband for the first time. Happened once in Nordstrom's with a pink jacket I still have.
Happened Saturday with this house. The only thing better for me would be if I sold this house. Call me - Email me I'd LOVE to show it to you. See if you feel it too. Best feeling in the world.
