Finding our new Home Part 1



This is where we stayed before we got our house in Port St. Lucie

We stayed in Port St Lucie for the next 4 days. We were able to stay in a Hilton Garden and Inn where all the golfers stay and get up at the butt-crack of dawn to golf. It was beautiful though as you can tell by all the pictures. We had got in contact with a real estate agent from the ward in Vero Beach, Stacie, who we ended up being good friends with her and her family. We went house shopping this day, and found the house we wanted in an area we wanted. The next day we went to sign the contract on the house, and I just got the worst feeling about it. I dont know why because I was totally in love with the house. But when we met the property manager she seemed shady which added to my anxiety of signing the contract. We called her right before she got the lawyers to write up the contract and told her we needed the weekend to think about it. She was not excited about it. But I just did not feel good about the contract. Anyway, we called her back on Monday after deciding that it was ok to get the house, and someone had put a deposit on the house the night before. I was relieved honestly. We had looked at a house one street behind this house and we figured we could get that house which was in the same area. We loved the area. We got the paper for that house on Tuesday morning and got the keys to the house that day at 2:30 that afternoon. The real estate guy said he had never had a house go through that fast. The truck showed up at our house at 3:30 with all our stuff. It worked out perfectly. The house is newer and nice, but had not been lived in for a while so we had a little cleaning to do and a couple things to fix. But we love it and I feel so good about taking this house instead. I feel truly blessed!!!!
