The Greater Dayton Spring Mini Trial and Combined Test Show hosted by The MVEA

This special event, which begins at 8:00 am on Saturday, May 18, 2019 will be held at Twin Towers Horse Park, located at 501 Yellow Springs Fairfield Rd in Bath Township, Ohio.  The show is part of the MVEA Mini Trial series. This will be a more casual show, perfect for less experienced riders and horses on up to more serious competitors, with training level, novice level, and on down to greener than grass level.  This show will also serve as a fundraiser for the Twin Towers Horse Park. If you have never been to a horse show where there is cross country jumping, stadium jumping, and dressage, this would be a great event to attend.

The Miami Valley Equestrian Association was formed to support the sport of eventing here in the Dayton Ohio region and also to take care of the Twin Towers Horse Park.  

The park, located in Greene County in Bath Township between Fairborn and Yellow Springs, is part of the Greene County Parks and Recreation and is free for the public to use and enjoy.  Nowhere else in the area will you find a park with 102 acres, permanent jump course, 2 dressage arenas, outdoor show ring, and barn with stalls with access like this. MVEA has made it their project to repair the course jumps, build new jumps, and recently raised funds for the dressage arenas, adding 2 inches of additional footing material. This will be easier to keep in well groomed condition for shows as well as being safer for the horses.

If you enjoy horses and want to support a wonderful organization and a great cause, come out to Twin Towers this weekend and attend the show!

Welcome home!

When working with buyers, part of my joy as a Realtor is finding the right home for my clients.  In a tight market with low inventory, this can be a challenge.  Last spring, I worked with a couple who were interested in moving to Springboro, Ohio.   He had just taken a new engineering job, she worked remotely, and her parents live in Springboro making it their target location.  They were particularly interested in a planned community with amenities, like Settlers Walk.  Unfortunately, we were not able to find an existing home in the price point and condition with the features that they desired. 

So, with their budget in mind, I took them to the Fischer Homes model at The Springs at Settlers Walk, which is located off Yankee Street, just inside of the Springboro line.  My clients fell in love with the quality of the construction and the community itself, which connects with the older Settlers Walk neighborhood and offers walking trails, 2 pools, and clubhouse with fitness room.  After meeting with the Fischer Homes sales representative and walking the lots available, my clients chose to build a new home.  They settled on the Grandin floorplan which features a 2 story great room with a beautiful wall of windows, open kitchen with breakfast bar/island and large breakfast nook, first-floor study, and they chose to add a first-floor bedroom and full bath for guests.  It is a spectacular home and Fischer delivered a quality product.

Most people will want a larger home with multiple bedrooms when they have a growing family and need several bedrooms.  We know from personal experience how quickly those child-rearing years pass by!  Before you know it, children graduate from high school and are off to college or start families of their own!  That leaves a big home full of memories, but somewhat empty feeling!  Some homeowners decide to downsize shortly after they become empty nesters, yet other owners enjoy their home for many years until the maintenance becomes less enjoyable than it used to be becoming more of a burden for the homeowner.

We are honored to say that many families have trusted the Shurts' to guide empty nesters or senior-citizens sell the home that means so much to the current owners. We walk with owners (and often their families) as trusted-advisors and gentle encouragers, to make the home-selling transition smooth and as enjoyable as possible.

That's what occurred with this beautiful Beavercreek home.  Parents built the house some 48 years ago for their growing family.  Kids grew up and eventually moved out and began their own families.  One parent passed away, leaving the other in the home.  That aging parent stayed in and loved the home for many more years, until the owner and their grown children agreed it was the right time for their loved one to make a change.

We were so honored to help this family! We enjoyed every minute of our time with this very sharp and wonderful owner!  If you or a loved one are needing to downsize from a home that is now more home than is currently needed, give Keller Williams Advantage's top real estate agents Don & Cyndi a call at 937-241-2124 or 937-604-5194.
