In this episode, I talked with one of our clients who shares the emotional journey behind selling their renovated family home.

After pouring love, time and money into making it their dream home, they made the difficult decision to sell. With two young kids and a growing need for space and lifestyle change, their story is one many families will relate to.We often talk about real estate from a practical lens, but today we dive into the personal side and what it really feels like to let go of a home full of memories, and how to know when it’s time to move on.

Whether you’re thinking about upsizing, selling after renovating, or simply wondering if it’s time for a change, this honest conversation offers insight, comfort, and real-life perspective.
