I was thinking today about the previous owners of the house. I wonder if they drive by my house or if they will knock on the door one day to meet me and see any changes I've made to the home. I have heard of people doing this. Would you? If they do come by, how should I respond?

The blinds as well as the breakfast area look great. After we moved into our house (June '09), the former owner did stop by. She was looking for her daughter's report card. She also commented on how nice the house looked. They too had lost their home and it was totally remodeled before we took ownership. The moment was bittersweet to say the least. While I was tickled pink to be in our new home, I was here because of the person's misfortune standing before me. I'm going to leave you with the same advice I had to give myself; GOD don't make mistakes. Being where you are is apart of HIS plan, you had no part in it.
ReplyDeleteTiffany,
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I bought a foreclosure a couple of years ago so we know all about remodeling. The previous owners were renting the house and they were instructed to move out because the owner of the home was being foreclosed on. I could not believe that the owner was pocketing their entire rent and not paying the mortgage on the house! They thought about purchasing it when it came on the market, but we beat them to the punch because it was such a great deal! If I were you, I would not trust anyone to come in my house that I did not know personally even if they said they were the previous owners. You are a pretty young lady and there are some crazy people in this world. It's better to be safe than sorry!
