My husband's parents have lived in TV since 2012. We had visited multiple times and knew we would one day have a home down there. I was constantly watching Zillow and other sites and found a home for sale in Polo Ridge that seemed perfect … it was turnkey, came with a golf cart and the bond was paid. I reached out to a realtor agent friend of my mother-in-law and asked her to check on it for us. It already had an offer. <<sigh>> A week later we were in Toronto for a short weekend trip to see the Cleveland Indians play the Toronto Blue Jays, and I texted the agent to check on that same listing again - to see if there were any updates. It was going to be back on the market! Yippee!! The home needed a roof and the previous buyer didn't want to wait for one to be put on. We put our offer in (that included a new roof) while we were still in Toronto … just seeing it in pictures … and it was accepted. We closed on the loan up here in Ohio about 6 weeks later and scheduled a trip to TV two weeks later. I can't even begin to tell you what walking into our home for the first time felt like …. what an AMAZING feeling!!!
