Sell Your Home Quigley

Selling your home is a uniquely emotional affair. Think of your house as the backdrop to a life you’ve built for you and your family. It’s where you go to find peace and joy. It is the shelter you seek when it storms. To you, it is your perfect serenity -- each door opens to memorable, cherished times, and the pride you feel in each of its polished features is matched only by your natural acceptance of its charming flaws. The perfect mix of what makes you feel comfortable and loved. It’s not easy to look at your home without bias and see it of what it is truly, one of the largest assets you will secure in your lifetime. The return on this investment is crucial, one that can make a significant impact on your financial future. Navigating a home transaction is complex, with many moving parts. It’s a path you should not try alone. Balancing this sentimental journey of a home sale with the financial reality of a property transaction is what we do. It requires local expertise, market intuition, and a good deal of emotional intelligence and working experience. As your devoted real estate professionals, we will always have your best interest at heart, and in mind. Allow us to orchestrate the process, negotiate on your behalf, and bring you comfortably to the closing table.

In 1849, half brothers Michael and Joseph Quigley arrive in America seeking relief from the Irish potato famine. Their dying father tasked Michael to watch over Joe, but young Joe is headstrong and soon runs away. He spends his teen years in the wild cow town of West Bottoms, where his entrepreneurial savvy propels him into a successful business until a worldwide depression sends him scrambling. Joe meets and marries another Irish Catholic, Mary McManus, who comes from a family of higher ilk. The unlikely couple settles in a frontier riddled with lawless violence, which leaves them burned out by Jayhawkers. Natural catastrophes, failed crops, Joe’s military service, and illnesses overburden them, but it is a shocking, single event that leads to the destruction of Joe’s family. Through the eyes of nine-year old Little Mary Quigley—Joe and Mary’s second-born daughter—we observe the ultimate, horrific moment that leaves her and her five siblings orphaned. This particular act becomes their dark family secret and leaves a lamentable legacy that has waited generations to be revealed.
