NextHome Tomorrow Realty BY TYLER MICIK HUMANS OVER HOUSES— That’s the NextHome Tomorrow Realty difference and the reason Craig and ErinAnn Beebe chose to partner with NextHome in June 2020.

transition, not the transaction. “We don’t stop working for our clients at under contract. We hold their hand throughout the entire process whether you’re selling or buying,” said Owner Craig Beebe. Everyone remembers the home they grew up in—perhaps that’s why they say there’s no place like home. It’s no surprise that many homeowners, especially residential, hold an emotional connection or attachment to a place where they’ve likely grown up. “Our team understand this. It helps our agents place themselves in clients shoes and provides a human aspect to the transaction,” said Craig. This applies to commercial proprieties as well. “In most cases we’re selling more than just a business, we’re selling part of the owner’s identity, and the sale is usually part of their retirement plan,”
he explained. “We want owners to be paid for more than the sticks and bricks. A new owner needs to feel confident the business’ cash flow will continue after the owner retires.” Helping business owners prepare to sell is one of the areas Craig enjoys most and requires significant planning. Craig works with business owners two to three years in advance of when he or she plans to sell. The relationship begins this early to not only ensure the business is sellable but also assure the owner can transition to their next passion with the knowledge that their company has its best chance—even after they step away. NextHome Tomorrow Realty is about more than just buying or selling homes. They’re dedicated to helping you find your NextHome.
