A Sold Story | 306 Commodore Dr, Richmond.
My neighbor and I were introduced by a mutual friend a few months ago. She reached out to me and said, “So many of our neighbors keep telling me that I just have to meet you, Lisa!” We arranged to have a coffee at her house and I met her sweet dog, who was instantly friends with my 1.5 yo crazy big puppy.
J.E., her sister, and her dad wanted to pick my brain about the best approach to the 3 of them purchasing a home for their dad to retire closer to family. We brainstormed contacting home owners on their street for the possibility of living within a block of one another, and we also investigated Marina Bay, a spot their dad had loved last time he’d been out for a visit. There was a particular townhouse with a view of the marina and close to the trails that was compelling to him. I had experience selling in the same complex, and we were able to quickly analyze market values and comb over the HOA documents to make sure everyone was going into this with eyes wide open.
A week later they decided to make a move. We were in contract the next day, and closed escrow just 14 days later. The whole process, from meeting J.E. and her family to handing over the keys, took just under a month. J.E.’s dad is thrilled to have such an ideal place to land, and now I have a new dog-walking buddy in my hood to boot!
