Real Estate Rosie Smelcer September 18, 2025
Not long ago, we had a client in Westlake, who endured something no one ever expects to face—their home burned completely to the ground. In an instant, they lost everything, walking away with only the clothes on their backs.
As they began piecing life back together, they looked into a lease in Westlake creating a temporary home while their property was being rebuilt. That’s when Rosie met them. She immediately felt the gravity of their situation but also came to know what a truly remarkable family they were.
Before long, Rosie realized that the floor plan of their temporary home simply wasn’t working for them. Determined to help, she connected them with another client whose property was a much better fit, and soon they were able to make the switch—a move that finally gave them some comfort and stability during such a difficult season.
About a year later, however, Rosie learned that the owner of this new home needed to sell. The news was upsetting to everyone—Rosie, her team, and even the landlord—because we all knew how much this family had already endured.
Our focus immediately became clear: protect them. Instead of alarming them with the situation, Rosie set to work behind the scenes, combing through her database to find the right solution.
After careful searching, Rosie found the perfect investor—someone willing to purchase the property without disrupting the family’s lease or stability.
When we finally shared the news, it wasn’t to tell them they had to move, but rather to let them know they simply had a new landlord.
What began as a heartbreaking loss turned into a story of resilience, care, and community. And for us, being able to deliver peace of mind to this family meant everything.
