And just like the pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales, many of us start to think about travel when the weather shifts. The sun awakens us from the long winter, and just like plants, we turn our faces to the light. It doesn't take long in conversation with me that you'll realize travel is a priority in my life. One look at the back of my Jeep and you'll get it. I love to wander. Being a real estate professional allows me to travel on a daily basis. I truly enjoy wandering the city in search of homes for my clients. After 14 plus years in this business, I think like I've been to just about every neighborhood from Cincinnati to Dayton.
Travel was something most of us took for granted until 2020. We all had to hit pause. That pause provided the time to reflect, and that process for me developed a deep gratitude for home, the home my family and I create together. Notice the create, not created. Home is not stagnant; it's ever evolving. I've always loved the idea of home. Even in literature, the longing or desire for home has always been a strong theme. When a character journeys away from home, that character grows and learns and returns home to share the gifts. So the segue from teaching to real estate was not a whim. It is a passion. Being able to facilitate the home buyer/selling process for people is such a profound honor for me. I think most of the people I work with would attest to this.
This idea of home works hand-in-hand with travel. Although most people enjoy traveling, they also love the idea of returning home. Having a home to return to from traveling is the definition of peace and comfort. As well, I love how travel can add to the evolution of your home: bringing in the lessons, the recipes, and home decor. My travels definitely inspired the desire to have a mostly white interior to my home. My love of the ocean is there with the pops of blue.
But also, for some, the idea of home is shifting. Home is the people you're with, not the place. So they sold the brick and mortar and are wandering from city-to-city in search of a new place to call home, eventually. With this strong sellers' market, why not? They want to travel for now. With many people now able to work remotely, sellers are taking advantage of this by renting for a few months in different cities.
Does this sound appealing to you? Let's talk about your options. When you're ready to buy again, I can also help with that, no matter if it's in Ohio or Oslo. Intrigued? Call me!
