2828 Hoff Avenue - $1,200,000

Patience is a virtue for a reason. After waiting for the right time to move from the home she lived in for 23 years, I had the pleasure of representing my friend and client on the purchase of this stunning contemporary riverview property within walking distance of her business. We looked at this property when it was for sale last, but for various reasons just wasn’t the right time. Fortunately, the seller we purchased this from had completed all the outstanding items that needed to be done and had it buttoned up. Thrilled for all involved. What makes this job worth it.

With 10 years of experience specializing in luxury properties on and off market, I was able to negotiate a purchase price under list price, full inspections, financing, as well as a 45 day closing period while the buyer got their current house ready. If you’re thinking of buying or selling (or just want to know what your home is worth in this unique market), let’s connect and work together to make your real estate needs become a reality.

Feeling GRATEFUL and THANKFUL for all the AMAZING and LOYAL clients who have gotten me here. Thrilled, honored, and humbled to earn Coldwell Banker’s Presidents Club Award, which represents the top 1% of agents in the company. Being surrounded by the best of the best truly makes one realize how lucky I am to do what I do, have the business I’ve created, be supported by the incredible leadership and marketing that Coldwell Banker as my broker offers, and to be the age that I am in this industry and how I still have years and years left to grow and build. It’s been a wild and fun 9.5 years and I can’t wait to see what’s next. 🥂
