We spent the better part of this week touching up this home - cleaning, punch-listing, staging and more staging, styling, florals (by my wife), plants from my house, photography, and more photography.
It finally culminated in an epic broker party replete with golf cart shuttles, delicious apps, drinks, s'mores, and live music, which was extremely well attended.
Shoutout to Marabeth, Molly, and the whole LCT real estate team.

This whole project, but especially finishing the home, was no simple thing to pull off.
It's death by a thousand cuts - every real estate project is a mad scramble at the end, but our whole team really chipped in to get it across the finish line.

I've said it many times here, but if you have the right people on the bus, doing something incredible is so much easier. Or maybe I should say "actually possible."

I was talking with a new friend who's also building homes at the party, and we both agreed that pulling off this kind of thing was its own reward.
Yes, we want to make money, but ultimately the real reward is setting the vision and actually carrying it out with your friends and partners.

How many more times in life will I get to do this? I hope it's many, many more, but I just don't know.
These things take an enormous amount of effort and time.

There were plenty of bumps along this road that I've written about in the past - lending rug pulls, historic and septic mafia, major market changes - but I have never wavered in my total bullishness on this project.
We set out to build the best possible thing we could: a unique, mostly one-story courtyard home in a market full of McMansions.
Are there things I wish we did differently? 100%, there always is. But we largely hit our target.
I posted this video, and two magazines reached out wanting to feature the home.
If you are going to do a huge project, it's going to be really hard; it will cost more money and take longer than you think. So you might as well make it special.
Been so fun and so worth it. I am truly grateful for the ride thus far.
This is really living.
