Any time I go into a foreclosed home, I can’t help but wonder about its story. What were the people like who lived there before? Were they happy? Why did they leave? Agent Linda Murphy of Reno, Nevada had one of these questions answered at a recent showing,
“Hope You Will Love This Home as Much as We Did”
No, this was not the parting sentiment from seller to buyer at a happy closing. It was wistfully painted above the front door, surrounded by an artistic vine of leaves and flowers, of a bank-owned property I showed to some first-time buyers. We didn’t notice it until we were leaving, where it stopped us dead in our tracks. No one spoke for a long time as we resumed our places in the car for the ride to the next potential home.
It is so true that we all sometimes lead lives of quiet desperation.
