I'm excited to share that 125 Surf Way #305 in Monterey has officially sold for $640,000 in just 1 day!

This beachfront-adjacent condominium offered a great opportunity to enjoy the Monterey lifestyle, with easy access to Del Monte Beach and beautiful coastal surroundings.

What I'm most grateful for is how smoothly this transaction came together. We had a quick escrow, great communication from all parties involved, and a successful outcome for everyone.

Congratulations to the new owners, and thank you to everyone who helped make this a seamless closing.

That means more choice, a wider range of price points, and a better chance of finding a place that actually fits your needs.
