Real Estate is a relatively new area for me. In 2007 I bought my first house, a beautiful Queen Ann Victorian with turrets, a wrap-a-round porch, 12 columns and, even though built in 1887, (magnificent gardens sitting on 3 lots ) it had been beautifully restored and maintained. I had a deal set and it was mine within three days. Then, after moving all my earthly belongings in and making it a home a furnace malfunction caused it to go up in flames Saturday morning Dec.13,2008.
After three months living with family I decided to give my family and myself a break and amicably moved into a nice residential Hotel, I did a massive search with the help of my first real estate agent, (Wanda Abney at Realty South) It's, granted, a buyer's market. That being said I had narrowed the search and still had to look at a dozen prospects in person as well as hundreds on line. Last Tuesday,April 26 I found my new home. It had everything I needed and wanted and the perfect location. From a quarter of a million four years ago Wanda hard balled $100,00 off the price and set the deal and made me the happiest home buyer in Birmingham! With my orthopedic problems, the year round indoor pool will a big plus. All the other amenities are just wonderful bonus' and I look forward to my June 1st move in date!
Still on the look out for a space in Los Angeles but have to have my home here furnished, and, since the fire I have to purchase everything needed to set up housekeeping. Lots of shopping ahead. Digs in Ca. will have to wait.
Here's hoping 2009 will be a much better year for Nine Moon Productions!
It's good to see that you're moving forward now
