Zillow
ReviewIt was a warm Summer's morning. The sun crested over the neighbor's rooftop just like any other morning, but this one felt different.I fired up the computer to begin the new day's rituals. Sauntering through the messages delivered to my inbox by the Gmailman. Studying the hourly forecast to hold the weatherman accountable for his all-too-often erroneous predictions. Scouring Zillow for the off-chance of discovering a multi-unit property in a desirable development zo-- ...my God, what is THIS!?This was the feeling. The subconscious inkling of opportunity buzzed over my body. There it was...the perfect property.My head raced with all the possibilities to manifest inside the walls of this brick duplex. The dizzying heights of this daydream soon spiraled into a fever dream, as the realities of purchasing property materialized. Appraisals. Inspections. Negotiations. What if I offer too much? What if I offer too little and squander such a perfect opportunity? I needed someone in my corner.Enter: Kera Moore.The phone rang thrice before Kera's voice flowed through the speaker as warm as the mid-morning's sun, now inching higher over the rooftops. Before my mouth could muster the chance to inquire when we could tour this perfect prospective property, Kera had my answer. "Let's go see it today."Game on.As we walked the property, Kera seamlessly shifted between a quiet shadow, as I meandered through the house lost in my own thoughts, and a human encyclopedia ready to answer questions about the home, past and present. Another welcomed surprise was her endless mental Rolodex of contractors. For every issue that needed repair in the home, Kera "had a guy". Foundations problems? She's got an engineer. Build out a kitchen? Kera's got a carpenter for that.In another iteration of her water-like ability to flow to meet any occasion, Kera had the uncanny superpower of blending her intrinsic, warmhearted core being with strategically-timed instances of hard lined negotiations. Like a mother bear protecting her cubs from the dangerous minefield of real estate...but she never hibernates.And just like that, as fast as the property purchasing party began, it was over. Kera closed the contract in under a month. Another page in the county tax records...until next time.
