Why I Love Real Estate: On 1031 Exchanges

Eleven years ago I left my high tech marketing job for the world of real estate.  The huge difference in careers for me is the personal connection I can make with my clients and how I have a immediate tangible feedback of how I make a difference in their lives.  Here are some really nice words written by a client of mine who hired me to help them with some of their real estate investments.  It is so nice to be appreciated.  Thanks Diane.  XOXO.

We wanted to sell our single-family home investment property in Cupertino and purchase a multi-residential building on the Peninsula.  I had known Connie through volunteering at our children’s school.    Thinking she would be as diligent in real estate as she was in her volunteering, we hired Connie.  She exceeded our expectations.  We were worried how the market would react to our Cupertino home as it was on a busy street.  Connie led the efforts to make sensible updates to the home prior to putting it on the market and did a fantastic job in the contract negotiations.  We ended up getting multiple offers and selling the home for more than we expected.  On the buy side, Connie sent a mailer to all apartment building owners whose property fit our criteria.  When we found the apartment building we wanted, we felt that she looked out for us, making sure all the information we needed to make a purchase decision was there before we committed, and we got the building for under asking price.  She managed the 1031 Exchange coordinating with the exchange and title companies without a glitch.  We were very pleased with Connie’s service.  We’ve been recommending Connie to everyone who has mentioned selling/buying, including our neighbors, who recently said they were thinking about talking to a few realtors to see what they might get for their house, and the next thing we knew the new owner is moving in, and we’re pretty sure our (former) neighbors never talked to another Realtor after they met Connie!  If you’re thinking of selling/buying, just take a few minutes to talk to Connie and you’ll be convinced that she can represent you brilliantly.    Diane and Harold Wachs – Los Altos Hills
