Patty and Mike Baltes live in a small rental house with their two teenage kids, Tarin and Jameson, two cats, two dogs and two turtles. Across from the kids' former high school, the home was perfect for their growing family. Now that the kids have grown up, the house is bursting at the seams, and they are in desperate need of an upsize. Mike and Patty want a three-bedroom, two-and–a-half-bath home with a big backyard and a pool. A garage or an extra room for their son to set up an art studio would be an added bonus. Realtor Francine Meyberg is brought in to help them with their search.
