A Home Buying Success Story in Richland, WA
After more than twenty years in their previous home, Chris and Delayna were ready for a change. They loved their longtime house, but with plans to renovate it before selling, they needed to find something newer and move-in ready — and they needed to do it quickly.
That’s where Kendra Webster, REALTOR® with Krista Hopkins Homes, stepped in to help guide them through the home buying process in Richland, Washington.
A Search for the Right Fit in the Tri-Cities
The journey began with high hopes and a clear goal: find a newer, updated home in a neighborhood they loved.
Their search got off to an emotional start — the first home they toured checked nearly every box, but before they could make their move, it sold. While that could have been discouraging, it ended up being a turning point. Missing out on that house allowed them to take a step back and really explore what they wanted, what they needed, and what would truly feel like home.
Over the next few weeks, Kendra helped them tour homes for sale in Richland that matched their goals — balancing location, updates, and layout until the right one came along.
The Perfect Home (and a Tight Timeline)
When they finally walked into the one, they knew. The home was beautifully updated, located in a community they already loved, and featured an incredible walk-in closet that their daughter, Macey, immediately claimed as her favorite spot.
But finding the right home was only part of the story. With renovations already scheduled on their previous property, timing was critical. Every deadline mattered. Kendra coordinated closely with all parties — ensuring inspections, paperwork, and closing stayed on schedule — so their move could happen seamlessly.
Despite the tight turnaround, everything came together perfectly.
A Smooth Closing and a Joyful Move
Closing day was filled with relief, excitement, and gratitude. Chris and Delayna couldn’t wait to settle into their new home — and start the next phase of their journey as Richland homeowners.
For Kendra, one of the highlights of this experience was getting to know their family. “They’re such a beautiful family,” she shared. “I didn’t get to meet their son since he’s away at college, but I hope to one day.”
Now, the family is officially home — with two cats happily exploring their new territory (one prefers the indoors, the other likes to sneak outside whenever possible).
