Sometimes, finding the right home takes a few detours — and sometimes, the universe gives you a little nudge to wait for what’s right.
Josh first reached out last year after spotting one of my listings in Lakewood. The home caught his eye, so I got him connected with a great agent to show it since I was representing the sellers. It didn’t come together that time — the timing just wasn’t right.
A few months later, Josh and I met up for burgers at my favorite Denver dive, Campus Lounge, where we talked all things real estate. From that conversation on, we took things slow — getting pre-approved, starting our discovery days, and learning what truly felt right for him.
Then came The Haunted House Incident. 👻
We found a super cute “new build” in Lakewood and wrote a killer offer — under list, with concessions! It all looked perfect until inspection day. That’s when everything unraveled. The builder was sketchy, the work was questionable, and this “new build” was more trick than treat. Total dumpster fire. So, we walked.
And while it stung in the moment, I told Josh what I always believe — everything happens for a reason.
Sure enough, a few weeks later, the right home appeared. We jumped in fast, wrote a clean offer at list price with a big concession for a 2-1 buy-down, and the inspection? Smooth as can be. The seller was wonderful, the listing agent was a dream, and the whole thing just fell into place.
And in the most meant-to-be twist, both Josh and the seller had cats. 🐈⬛ The perfect sign this one was destined to be his.
When we closed, we couldn’t stop talking about how thankful we were that the first deal fell apart. Because if it hadn’t, Josh never would’ve found this one — the home that truly felt like his.
Sometimes, the homes that don’t work out are just clearing the path for the one that’s meant to be. ✨
