Mike and Pam found Lauren and Ryan, homeowners in Elgin, Illinois, who wanted to upgrade their home. It was the perfect match for Mike and Pam, who were looking to downsize. Mike and Pam sold their home for $295,000 and purchased Lauren and Ryan's home for $180,000.
"We were able to sell our house at the price we wanted, and they were able to sell their townhouse at the price they wanted," Pam says."We're all happy," Ryan says.
