Moving into a new house is very exciting – it’s a new place to decorate and make your own, a new place to build lifelong memories, and a new place to make friends with your neighbors. When moving into a new house, people don’t often expect to become friends with the previous owners of the house. But that’s exactly what happened when Chris and her late husband, Bob, moved into their new house more than 3 decades ago.
When Chris and Bob moved into a new house in California, they became friends with Chistine and John, the couple that sold them the house. It was easy for a friendship to form for several reasons: both women coincidentally shared the same name – Christine and they were all close in age and shared common interests. After selling their house, Christine and John moved about 40 minutes away, so they were still close enough to meet for monthly dinner hangouts. The friendship between the two couples grew over the course of a few years until Christine and John moved out of state. After that, they eventually lost touch with each other.
Fast forward to now – 21 years later – Chris started wondering about Christine and John and how they were doing. Chris is also in the process of moving out of state and needed some paperwork from Christine and John regarding the house. Chris tried calling the cell phone number she had for Christine, but it was incorrect. She also tried searching on Facebook, but wasn’t able to find a profile for either Christine or John. Finding herself at a crossroads, Chris turned to Google and typed in Christine’s full name. From there, Chris discovered Spokeo and signed up. She searched Christine’s full name using Spokeo’s Name Lookup, and was able to narrow down listings by age range and related people, since she knew John’s name as well.
