From Selling Her Trailer Herself to Building a New Home: Shawna's Valley Station Story

She came to me to sell a trailer. Now she's building a new home in Valley Station, across the street from her best friend.

Shawna first came to me wanting to sell her trailer. Because it wasn't attached to land, I told her the honest truth: she might do better selling it herself. So we skipped the listing agreement, advertised it, and I walked her through every step. She sold it on her own.

Where it started: the trailer Shawna sold herself.

That sale opened the door to her real goal: a new construction home. Working with Virginia at D.R. Horton, Shawna picked her homesite in the Valley Station area of Louisville and signed her contract.

Along the way, she paid off a lot of bills and raised her credit score. Every step she took to grow her finances moved her closer to the keys.

Now her home is under construction, and the best part? She's building right across the street from her good friend. It's something the two of them promised each other they'd do one day.

Sometimes the best advice isn't “list with me.” It's “here's how you can do this yourself,” and then showing up to help.
