Some real estate stories come full circle in unexpected ways. This one began years ago when I was working in the restaurant industry and attended a coworker’s wedding. I met her husband just once, but we stayed loosely connected over the years through social media. Nearly a decade later, that connection turned into a meaningful transaction.
Ten years after that wedding, he inherited this Orange County condo when his grandfather passed away. Having lived in the property before, he knew it wasn’t where he wanted to be long-term. His dream was clear: sell the condo and buy land in Oregon. He reached out to me on Facebook, explained the situation, and together we mapped out a plan to help him turn that goal into reality.
The sale came with challenges. At the time, there were tenants in the condo who needed to be legally removed. After months of eviction proceedings, the tenants vacated but left behind a significant amount of belongings. I stepped in to coordinate the cleanup, connecting the owner with my trusted handyman. Everything left behind was cleared out, the interior was painted, repairs were completed to the rear awning and other areas, and a professional cleaning crew brought the property to spotless condition.
Once the condo was ready, we went to market. After just two weekends of open houses, we generated five solid offers. The seller selected the offer that netted him the most money from the strongest buyer, and he especially appreciated that the condo would be going to a family who planned to live in and care for the home, rather than an investor.
The transaction closed smoothly and on time. With the proceeds from the sale, the seller was able to purchase a beautiful property in Oregon with acres of land. Today, he spends his time gardening and enjoying the lifestyle he had envisioned for years.
