Client Shout Out! Happy April House Anniversary!
I’ve been lucky to call Ryan and Hong friends for several years now and if you want to see an amazing couple, they are it! When we started working together, the inventory was extremely low and we weren’t finding the right fit until one day we saw a lovely remodeled house on a hill and a short 21 days later, it became home. Fast forward a year later, new adventures are in store for them as they are growing, and I cannot wait to meet their newest member of the family. Happy House Anniversary! -J
