Shaffer Road

Yes.    After years of searching...the right property presented itself.   While searching through real estate for sale in the Beaver Lake area, one picture of a deck looking out over the lake was interesting enough to click on.    It was mid-summer 2012.  Many of them do sell quickly; so when one appeared, it was worth a closer look.   Unfortunately, things at home and work got in the way and the property was forgotten.  Then again in the fall.....the picture came up again in a search...this time the real estate company had done a much better job of presenting the property, the pictures were sharper and more descriptive.

It was worth a visit.   Why was this house still on the market?   Was there some flaw that could not be determined by the advertising layout?   The price seemed to be reasonable.......

In late fall there was finally time to drive down and see the place in person.     After the tour - knew the house was right.....but hesitated to make any offer - by this time the holidays were right around the corner, all funds fixed and locked down for the year (you know, capital gains and such).     Told the agent that it would be 2013 before any decisions were made.

As it turned out, the property was still available and with a couple of weeks of negotiations and some repairs, the deal was finalized.

Closing is March 26th.

Yes.
