Agent Laughs When Man Lists House Then Sees The Inside

It was time. He was going to get the house renovated. He was excited to dip into his savings and salary, it was time for his dream to turn into a reality.

They all laughed at him, including his friends, family, and the agents that were supposed to help him. But as the house got closer and closer to being complete, he realized one glaring truth.

A House From The Past

When Liam Presley’s grandpa passed, the only thing he left in his name was a derelict house in Charlestown, Boston.

The house was like nothing he’d ever seen in person. The first time he lay eyes on it, he choked back a cry, not because it was the beauty of a house, but because he felt betrayed by his beloved grandpa.

Thirty-year-old Liam was the youngest of the Warren family in Boston, an influential family that had its roots in the country’s liberation more than four hundred years past.

For Liam, being a Warren had always seemed like a burden. His life was constantly under scrutiny from the public eye and his family. But unknown to him, this would soon change.

Of course, Liam appreciated and did not take for granted all the gifts that came with being a Warren. He went to a good school and got a great start in his career as an architect. But something would happen that would change his life forever.

One evening, Liam was away from home when his mom called with news about his grandpa, who’d been ailing for some time. Not knowing what to expect, Liam quickly answered. The news would leave him shattered.

Liam’s mom told him that his grandpa had sadly passed away. Liam froze with his phone stuck to his ear. He tried to speak but couldn’t.

Out of all the Warrens, he’d been the closest to his grandpa, and he’d idolized the man for all his accomplishments in life.

Liam even became an architect because his grandpa was one, and he’d groomed Liam to love everything that came with designing houses. Liam didn’t know how much his grandpa’s passing would affect his life.
