OUR TOP 5 FAVORITE HOME SALES OF 2014

Over the course of 2014, so many people asked us how our first year working together as Realtors® was working out. When we began our professional partnership, we accepted that it would either turn out to be a really great experience, or it would prove to be a total disaster.

We are happy to report that working together as the Townsend Team has been terrific. With our first wonderfully successful year under belt, we are looking forward to an even greater 2015!

Thankfully, we sold a lot of homes this year. It is unquestionably easier—and more enjoyable—selling a property when we love it. We got to thinking about the homes we were lucky enough to sell: homes we wished we were buying for ourselves, family, or friends. We came up with a list of our favorite home sales of 2014 that we hope you will enjoy.

Happy New Year!
