Introduction to Project Makes Perfect

In 2015, my husband Juan Luis and I were first time homebuyers in search of the perfect home.  

We were looking for a fixer-upper, but one reasonable enough to live in so we could fix it up little by little. With limited inventory of this kind in the D.C. real estate market, finding our home was no small feat.   

A year-long search and multiple offers later, we were feeling defeated and ready to take a break from the idea of homeownership altogether when an old home right on the edge of the Takoma, D.C. neighborhood came on the market. Right away we knew it was the one for us and luckily our amazing real estate agent Eric Broermann helped us get our offer across the finish line.

Venturing just outside of where we thought we wanted to be, gave us everything we really wanted and more. 

The house has been a labor of love since day one.  Quite literally, an almost-every-weekend labor of love. But we’ve enjoyed the journey our house has put us on, and we hope you enjoy following along with us.
