When I first met the sellers in the assisted living facility, they weren't sure if they wanted to sell just yet. This was the first home they had ever purchased together back in the 1960s in Universal City. The wife would reminisce about mowing the lawn while her husband was off flying F-111's in Vietnam, so it had sentimental value to them.
Then I showed them this picture and asked them who's truck was in the driveway. They had no idea. All of a sudden their mindset changed. With a combined age approaching 188 years they weren't in any condition to fix up the home themselves, so why not sell it to someone who would bring this neglected property back to it's former glory? That's when my favorite-super-duper-awesome distressed-property-buyer Emily (and Maria) from Productive Realty stepped in, gave us a fair offer, and her team is working hard to fix the home so that it can bless another family just as it blessed my clients all those years ago.
