A Home – More than Bricks and Stones

posted by:

Over the years I have lived in many homes. Childhood home; homes where I brought up my children; homes where I have had the best times of my life, and some where I have experienced some of life’s tragedies. Each one of these homes has memories for me. Memories that are contained in those four walls that the new owners will never experience.

I love the Real Estate business! It is about making new memories for families but I am also very conscious of the fact that when I am dealing with someone it is not just Brick and Stones that we are selling but also the emotions and memories connected with the home. Be they good or bad.

The quote from Lemony Snicket says it all:

One’s home is like a delicious piece of pie you order in a restaurant on a country road one cozy evening – the best piece of pie you have ever eaten in your life – and can never find again. After you leave home, you may find yourself feeling homesick, even if you have a new home that has nicer wallpaper and a more efficient dishwasher than the home in which you grew up. ~Lemony Snicket
