Old House Got the Right Buyer We knew when we started that we needed to find the right kind of buyer for our 1894 Queen Anne Victorian, and that it stood apart from the typical market trends and inventory. When the right buyer showed up, we worked together to make sure we were selling the house and not attached to projections about how the evolution of the house and my stewardship should determine a particular outcome. I believe we found a win/win scenario for us all. Our persistence paid off.
