15 Years ago we started buying and selling houses in Amarillo. The first few houses we bought were such a struggle. It was hard to find houses to buy. It was even harder to find the financing to get them bought. And since we did most of the work ourselves, the remodel process was brutal. At that time I was working 60 hours per week in a job that I hated. Emmy was pregnant with Carson. I would get off of work at 8:00 at night and we would go work until midnight or later. It would take us months to finish each house. To be honest, we had no clue what we were doing. We made so many mistakes. In 2003 Emmy got her Real Estate License. For the next three years she ran the business while I worked. It was very discouraging at times because it seemed like we were not making much progress. What made it even more difficult was that we had two toddlers. Finally in May of 2006 I was able to quit my job and start doing Real Estate full time. We soon found out that being in business for yourself is not as glamorous as people think. There have been many challenges and setbacks that we have faced in the last 9 years. I never will forget when the financing crises of 2008 hit. At that time we had 15 houses on the market. It is only by the grace of God that we were able to survive!
In the last 15 years we have bought and sold hundreds of houses. We have met some amazing people along the way. Every year I stop what I am doing and write a ‘Happy Anniversary’ blog. We will never stop being thankful! If you have a house that you need to sell call us at 806-359-7653 or visit us online at We Buy Amarillo Houses.
