My First Closing as a New Mom | New Baby, 2020, and a $154K Deal Worth Every Bit of It
Hey friend đź‘‹
Let’s talk about something that changed my perspective on real estate forever:
Becoming a mom.
Because here’s the truth…
Some transactions aren't memorable because of the house.
They're memorable because of the season of life.
🏡 Here's the truth:
My first closing of 2020 happened just over a month after my daughter was born.
I honestly wasn't planning to take on many clients.
But when another military family needed help finding their first home…
I couldn't say no.
đźš© The real challenge?
Helping clients while learning how to be a brand-new mom.
Doctor appointments.
Sleepless nights.
Bringing my baby to appointments.
Thankfully, this family had recently welcomed their own little one, so they understood exactly what that season looked like.
đź’ˇ What this means for you:
Sometimes it's not about doing everything perfectly.
It's about showing up.
This family trusted me through a season of change…
And together we found them a home where they could finally settle in after a cross-country military move.
💰Now let’s talk about the part I love most...
Home isn't just about the house.
It's about walking through the front door and finally being able to breathe.
That's why I love leaving a few essentials behind:
→ Toilet paper
→ Paper towels
→ Soap
→ Drinks and snacks
Small things that make a big difference after a long move.
📊 One of the most practical takeaways from this episode:
Military moves are expensive and exhausting.
When you can remove even one small burden from a family's shoulders…
It matters more than you know.
⚖️ A better way to frame your role:
Real estate isn't just about contracts.
It's about helping families feel at home…
Especially during one of the biggest transitions of their lives.
🎯 Real talk:
This family eventually bought their first home…
Then later sold it…
And purchased their second home.
Watching clients grow through different seasons of life is one of the greatest rewards of this career.
