On the eve of 2010, Sam and I would like to thank a few people who we spent a lot of 2009 with! ...and, who have made this project possible.
This is our super real estate agent, Don Langhirt! Don, thanks for never giving up on the Gibbons' house search! It took a really, really long time! You were always patient with us and were always available anytime we needed anything. You were with us every step of the way and took on so many more responsibilities than were expected of you! It would have been great to have found a house that first day (well, I guess we sort of did!) but then we wouldn't have formed such a great friendship! So, even though 2032 Bank was the very first house we stepped foot into, it is alright with us that it took about a year to actually purchase it!
This is Clint Tsao, our mortgage consultant from 1st Mariner Bank. We spent a bunch of time crunching numbers with Clint. Thanks to Clint for always being available for questions and for explaining things to me over and over! We may have had one of the thickest folders at the bank, which included everything short of blood samples... but, only because Clint really tried to do everything he could to get us loan approval.
Fortunately, we get to spend a lot of 2010 with Henry Tiburzi, our contractor! We met Henry by chance one day as we were driving around Canton, with Don. It was that day he offered to help if we had any questions about houses we were looking at. When we took him up on that offer (multiple times), he didn't hesitate. Before we even purchased this house and officially hired him as our contractor, Henry had already spend many, many hours helping us. Thank you for everything, Henry! We are really excited to do this project with you because you are such a great person and friend! ...And, there is no one better for the job!

Wow...! I have to say; I have been truly blessed in my life,,,it seems no matter what I do I run into quality people but this time I hit the "Mother Load"!! Sam & Lori are tremendous people - their parents raised them right and I'm lucky to have them as friends. Everything I did I would have done for them for free,,,,I look forward to having them in my life for many years to come. Love You Guys,,,have a Happy & Safe New Yearand I will see you soon! Don :-)
ReplyDeleteHi! I am currently in the market to buy a home in the canton area and do a complete rehab. Did you find your experience working with your contractor relatively easy? If so would you mind giving me his information? I tried to find him online but was unsuccessful. Your house has turned out beautiful and I have learned so much from reading your posts! Thanks, Whitney
