I was introduced to Jodi, Brett & Finn by Jodi’s sister-in-law, who was a former RE client and is now a friend of mine. I was excited to work with this lovely family and help them find their first home. We spent a lot of time up front getting all of the financing in

Toured this 1910 remodel. Nothing 1910 about it. It lives modern and easy. The upstairs great room is the best place in the house with high ceilings and tons of light. I would’ve liked to stay here all afternoon. If you buy this house,
