From House to Home: The Flessner Family’s Story

Helping the Flessner family on their home journey was such a joy. They originally reached out to explore rental options, but after connecting them with one of my amazing lending partners, they realized buying might actually be within reach.
They ended up falling in love with a home built by a family member — it didn’t check all their original boxes, but sometimes the right home finds you. It needed some work, so I negotiated hard and was able to secure $17,000 in concessions.
Here’s what they had to say after closing:
“We had an amazing experience working with Kelly Barta — helpful from the time we first started looking for rentals, to changing our mind and deciding to buy with very specific guidelines on what we wanted, to changing that and finding something that didn’t fit any of our guidelines to purchase! Kelly was flexible and adjusted with us as we went through our rollercoaster of decision making.”
Stories like this are the heart of why I love what I do. 💛
