Congratulations to Andrew and Rachel on becoming homeowners! 🏡🎉

One of the things that makes being part of AmSpirit so great is having a trusted network of professionals that can come together to help clients before, during, and after closing.

For this purchase, our AmSpirit team included:
🏡 Mari Van Meter, REALTOR®
📑 Ryan Schaefges, Real Estate Attorney
💰 Gunnar Dunlap, CrossCountry Mortgage
🛡️ Scott Gardner, Next Level Insurance
⚡ Mark Milstein, Energy Broker, helping them save on utility costs after closing
📈 Connor Brandon, Edward Jones, helping them build a strong financial foundation for the future

Together, we closed in just 16 days…and that even included the Fourth of July holiday! 🇺🇸

Real estate isn’t a solo sport. When you have the right team working together, the process is smoother, communication is better, and clients have trusted resources long after they get the keys.

Great teams create great deals.

Congratulations again, Andrew and Rachel! Welcome home! ❤️
