House keys in hand and a ring on her finger — talk about a closing day to remember. 💍🔑🏡
This sweet couple came to me through a past client after hearing about a deal I had negotiated, and while they were hopeful they might be able to buy this year, they really thought homeownership was still at least a year away.
At first, things felt discouraging. Early mortgage estimates had them worried, and they started wondering if the monthly payment would be too much. I kept reminding them not to lose hope yet, because sometimes the right negotiation, the right lender strategy, and the right home can change everything.
We found them a beautiful new construction home in Kuna with a price point that was hard to beat, and together we navigated all the moving pieces that can come with builder contracts, changing expectations, and a lot of coaching along the way. In the end, we were able to put together a deal that made the monthly payment feel much more comfortable for their budget, with their closing costs covered by the builder so they could protect their savings and move forward with confidence.
Watching it all come together was already so special because they were not just buying a house they could afford, they were buying a home they were genuinely excited about.
Then closing day became even more unforgettable.
As we got closer to getting the keys, Alex shared with me that he had been planning to propose to Allie. They had openly talked about getting engaged someday and buying a home together first, and he wanted to surprise her with a private proposal at the house after closing. With the help of the builder rep, we got to help keep the surprise and make the moment happen.
And she said yes. 🤍
You could already see how deeply these two were building a future together through this home purchase, but now it is officially official. I am so beyond happy for my first time buyers and so proud of the life they are building together one step at a time. Cheers to the future Khale household. 🥂
