It was a privilege to share in your journey, Bill and Helen Trimboli … Alexandra and I wanted to thank you both, for allowing us to list and sell your home of 50 years, and for allowing us to get to know you, and be touched by your story.
It’s your story, and the stories like yours … the reasons why people move from one home to another … and the people themselves… that make selling real estate fun.
Many of you who follow our Miami Real Estate Cafe blog and many of you who live in Pinecrest and have known the Trimboli family for decades will miss them, and the wonderful neighbors that they were.
Bill and Helen … after 50 years of being the neighbors everyone hopes to find… (good ones!) … we are sad to see you go. Happy 60th wedding anniversary too … (coincidentally enough, the same day that your home of 50 years SOLD and CLOSED) … 50 years to the day from when you originally purchased that house.
Makes for a good story! And the St. Joseph photos add to it! When you asked me whether I’d heard the superstition of St Joseph … the wive’s tale about burying a small plastic statue of Saint Joseph in the yard… to help ‘sell your house’, I remember telling you that houses like yours sell themselves … that it was just be a matter of bringing in the right buyer.
Whether St Joseph helped, I don’t know … but I do know that the right buyers bought your house… and they are happy. You, the buyers, and their Realtor (Wendy Armstrong, a colleague of mine at EWM) were a pleasure to work with.
Alexandra and I loved watching you plant that good luck charm, the little plastic statue of St Joseph in your front yard, head down under the drip line of our “FOR SALE” sign. Thank you for the smiles, and for having entrusted Alexandra and me with the sale of your house. We enjoyed helping you sell and move (… right next to your daughter) and we know how fortunate she and your new neighbors are to have you!
