Earlier this month, I got a new listing in Sunnyvale priced under $1.1M that you should check out. This listing won't last long, so pass along the info to friends or family if you think they may be interested.
I also wanted to share a few recent client stories. These show that each person has their own desires and journey when buying or selling a home. I'm here just to help make things easier and as successful as possible.

Do you or someone you know want these kinds of results in the next 12-18 months? You'd be surprised how much strategy and planning went into achieving these goals for my clients.
Throughout March prices across the board rose at the very least 2.7%! This last month medium sized houses saw the largest gains. Days on Market dropped across the board, with small homes averaging only 10 days on market! Inventory dropped down to only 21 days from the 10-month high we experienced in February of 36 days. Interest rates stayed flat, and we have yet to see how the capping of the mortgage interest deduction at $750K and the virtual elimination of our property tax deductions might slow things down. I maintain my prediction that prices will continue rising throughout the rest of 2018 and possibly the first half of 2019. Let me know if you need any advice on how to navigate the market or create a plan for the future.
Facebook takes over Mountain View offices, expansion widens
Facebook, fresh from a million-square-foot Sunnyvale lease that's Silicon Valley's biggest office rental so far this year, has struck a deal to move into a large Mountain View office building, the company said Tuesday.
Menlo Park-based Facebook has agreed to occupy 200,000 square feet in an office building in the Village at San Antonio office complex in Mountain View. Facebook will move into one of two office buildings in the mixed-use Village at San Antonio that are leased to WeWork, a shared work space and office services company.
This past year, my mother downsized from our six-bedroom family home into a two-bedroom condo in a senior development. Although she was nervous to cast aside her old life, now that the deed is done, she feels elated and free—and wishes she'd done it years earlier.
Now, my mom no longer worries about keeping her lawn mowed and driveway clear of snow, because maintenance staff does it for her. Rather than rattling around a huge house that took hours to clean, she has a manageable space she can easily tidy up herself. And, not incidentally, she has more money for whatever comes down the road.
