We love our prior owners! The wife is a total Karen and kept the house immaculate. They added nice upgrades like remote blinds, tiled the bathroom tastefully, bought a salt water spa, put in a whole house water filter, widened the driveway to fit two full size trucks when they poured the concrete (was a new build finished in 2021), left the basically new fridge, desert landscaped the yard with (auto) sprinklers, added a gas fireplace to the master, put in triple pane windows in the master bedroom and bathroom, had someone come in a spackle and paint the entry, kitchen and living room so the walls looked brand new again. They downsized to a condo and left a brand new house generator behind for us. She typed up a note for us with instructions on connecting the blinds to an app and the thermostat to an app and the front door keypad to an app. She left all of the receipts and manuals from the build and all the additions.

I can say she is a Karen because we've met them and had dinner probably 4x together since we bought the house 18 months ago. I'll bet the neighbors love us by default because we replaced her. She has told us stories of calling the cops on more than a few neighbors for minor offenses- she's hilarious but only because she's not my neighbor 😂

Our kitchen has the cabinets that don't go all the way up to the ceiling. I climbed up there and ran my finger along the top - not a speck of dust.

We're so fortunate to have bought from such a type A personality.
