Rivers Edge Real Estate

A few years ago I helped Marty’s parents buy a home in the area. In late 2023, they told me their son, Marty, would be moving to the area soon as well and referred him to me.

Marty and Christi toured multiple properties together over the course of 10 months until finally finding the one. The cute little brick house on four acres that Marty walked into and immediately said “this is it.” Within minutes he called Christi to meet him out there. They toured the property and knew together they found what they were missing. They made an asking price offer as quickly as possible but unfortunately there was already an accepted asking price offer on the home that was contingent upon an out of state sale.

They kept dreaming about the house though, after so many months of searching, it was horrible to feel like they found the one but were unable to have it. So Christi eventually called me to say I’m willing to go over the asking price, I want that house.

Turns out, the other offer was falling through and Marty and Christi were able to make a backup offer. Within 24 hours their offer was accepted.

We navigated a lot of emotions during this sale and I’m so happy to say Marty and Christi have their dream home in Clinton. Thank you both for trusting me to get you there.

The average American moves 4-6 times between the ages of 18 and 45. Personally, my family has moved 4 times over the last 20 years. And there's probably a few more to go! 😉

How many times have you moved?

5 reasons your dollar is best spent locally.

5) About $0.68 of every dollar spent locally gets reinvested in your community. This isn't just about keeping money in the same spot. It's about making that money the most effective. When you spend your money inside of your community, it creates an economic synergy. You decide what businesses survive with your hard earned dollars.

4) You create a better place to live. Towns thriving with local, small businesses are just more interesting, culturally vibrant places to live. No one wants to live in a city dominated by national chains and big box stores. Ironically, if you want more variety and specialty options, think smaller. Not bigger.

3) Local businesses have to serve their communities well. They literally can't afford to offer a bad product or a substandard service. They don't have big, fancy marketing budgets to make up for it. So, every dollar and every customer counts. Most small businesses literally have their name on their buildings, so it's their reputation that's at stake, not just the bottom line.

2) Your dollar spent locally buys you access to real people, not a customer service line. Small business owners are passionate about what they do, so they are your best source of expert information on the subject. You don't have to worry about your call or your concern being outsourced to an overseas center. Chances are you'll be speaking to a knowledgeable business owner or employee when you shop locally.

1) Your dollar directly influences a life, not a logo. There is a person and a family behind every small business. What's more, 2 out of every 3 new jobs have been created by small businesses since 2014. So your dollar creates local jobs for other people in your community. Spending your dollar locally is the best investment you can make in your neighbor's life.
