A Home of Their Own, a Fresh Start for a Mother and Her Daughters
Fransje’s charming family home radiates the kind of energy that perfectly matches life with two young daughters—vibrant and full of possibilities. Every corner tells the story of a fresh start, carefully crafted by a determined mother.
From renting to owning: After her divorce, Fransje knew she needed a new beginning. "I left the house we had lived in as a family and ended up in a rental. It was far too expensive, and it felt like I was throwing money away every month."
Having an expert by your side makes all the difference when you're on your own.
"The housing market felt like an impossible puzzle," she explains, sitting in her sunlit kitchen. "I was stuck in an overpriced rental, watching my savings disappear month after month. But finding an affordable home to buy on your own? That felt completely out of reach."
The perfect match
Sometimes, everything just falls into place. During one of her very first viewings, Fransje realized she had found something special. That's when she decided to enlist the help of Hester from Walter Living.
"When you're navigating this process on your own, having an expert by your side makes all the difference. Thanks to Hester's market analysis, I felt confident making a strong opening bid," Fransje shares. "Instead of waiting around, Hester took the lead and applied pressure on the sellers with a 'now or never' strategy. It worked—they accepted my offer before any other bids even came in."
More than just a home
Today, Fransje's house is more than just a place to live—it's a symbol of her new beginning. Of course, the journey wasn't without its challenges. The home inspection revealed some issues. "There were a few defects, which didn't come as a surprise since I wasn't buying a brand-new house. But Walter Living negotiated a price reduction based on those findings—something I could never have managed on my own," she says, smiling as her daughter peeks playfully around the corner.
Building toward the future
Even though she's settled into her home, Fransje has no plans to slow down. "I want to add another floor," she says. "It's not just about the extra space—I want to show my daughters that you can create your own path, no matter how challenging it might be."
The project represents everything she wants to teach her girls: the value of investing, the strength that comes from perseverance, and the importance of building toward your future—both literally and figuratively.
"This house is ours," she says proudly, her smile radiant. "It's more than bricks and mortar—it's the foundation for whatever comes next. And I made it happen."
