Week 3 -- House 2 (Black St. in Deerwood)
Monday, February 26, 2007

Last week, Joen and I drove by this house at Deerwood with a "FOR SALE" sign in front. We got the number and was able to set up an appointment with the agent. Her name was Laurie. When we got inside the house, we immediately knew we were in a Roanoke model home. But unlike the info they gave at this 1-800 number, the houses was bare of furniture and some appliances. It had only been lived in for 4 months and it was a brand new purchase. So why price it higher than the brand new model we saw 2 weeks ago? The agent didn't know. Didn't seem like a good price for us so we had to pass.


We rechecked the closet space because we couldn't remember just how small it was. And that's what it was- small. Took pictures just in case.

We liked Laurie a lot but we told her honestly that we're still deciding as to which agent to work with. Although her credentials are impressive, we wanted to check out Taro and Toni's agent first because they really gave her props for their home purchase not too long ago. Laurie gave us her portfolio so we're going to hold on to it until we decide.
