McKenna and Shea

“We joked about building a house back there—and then it became real. Now we’re raising our kids together on the same lot.”

What started as a casual joke between sisters quickly turned into a shared dream. With a spacious backyard and a deep family bond, McKenna and Shea imagined what it would be like to live—and raise their children—side by side. Buying separate homes never quite felt right. Building an ADU on the property their family already owned offered a more meaningful and affordable solution.

As real estate agents themselves, they knew the hurdles. Permitting, planning, coordinating contractors—it can feel overwhelming. But once they met Adam from Backyard Estates, everything changed. “We didn’t really have to do anything other than talk to them,” McKenna shared. From city approvals to construction oversight, Backyard Estates made the process seamless—and made the sisters’ dream a reality.

“It’s like a dream come true—raising our kids together, making memories, and redefining what family means for us.”
