The Search

This is the beginning of our forever. We have been searching high and low for the best place to have our forever farm. We talked to so many realtors and none of them wanted to help us out. Finally, I turned to TikTok for help. I contacted a realtor on there that had posted a new video. I sent her a message asking if she would be willing to be our agent and that we were from out of state. She messaged me back asking me to call her to discuss what we were looking for. Then my husband got a call letting him know he had been promoted at work and we were moving 4 hours away. We currently live in a 5th wheel since we move frequently with my husband’s job. So, our farm hunting had been put on hold. The moving process was quite the adventure, by the way I hate loathe moving. Things always break, and it is just a stressful time. I contacted the realtor and let her know if would be a few weeks before I could contact her. 

    Fast forward a few weeks, I finally called our realtor. She was so wonderful and took a ton of notes on what we were looking for and said she was on the way out of town on vacation but was excited to work with us. Unfortunately for her I am quite an inpatient person.  On June 18^th, I sent her a listing for a property that was a major fixer-upper, she set up an appointment for us to view it but since I was driving to Kentucky from Texas, I wanted to have a backup property to look at too. So, I sent her a second one that we were absolutely in love with by the pictures.      After seeing additional pictures and reading the sellers disclosure we decided the first property was not for us. We were still hopeful on the second property. I packed up and set out first thing in the morning. Unfortunately, my husband was not able to join me but I stopped by and got my dad (David) to take a look with me. I know how to look at all the cosmetic stuff but I have no idea what to look for structurally. I drove to my parents’ house 9 hours away because I had to pick up my daughter (Payton) from camp along the way. We got to my parents that evening and set out first thing the next morning, which was also Father’s Day and my dad’s birthday. My dad is the best, I am so glad he was willing to ride with me for 15 hours one way just to go look at the house.
