Teamwork Gratitude
/
Recently, this home sold at 6% over asking price — the highest sales price for a 2-bed/2-bath in the neighborhood in 2020. We received a total of 10 offers, and in the end, a very sweet couple with a young daughter made the final purchase.
We’d like to thank the sellers, who were very patient and great team players during the process. Thanks to the stager who presented the home so beautifully. Thanks to the photographer and videographer who helped create a wonderful website. Thanks to the buyer’s agent, who worked so seamlessly with us. And thanks to the home inspector, escrow officials, and everyone else who worked behind the curtain to make this sale happen.
It’s a pleasure and a privilege to have this amazing team, and we feel very blessed.

Read MoreIntroducing: Los Altos
/
Tree-lined streets and a “small village atmosphere” characterize Los Altos, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, just 40 miles south of San Francisco and adjacent to Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and other thriving urban centers. Los Altos is primarily a residential community, with boutique retail districts featuring local small businesses a short walk from any home. The city remains an enclave in a sea of development, the perfect spot for a retirement retreat!
The history of modern Los Altos dates back to 1906, when a Southern Pacific Railroad executive and friends purchased 140 acres of land owned by Sarah Winchester, the widow of the inventor of the Winchester rifle. The group planned a new town to serve the new Southern Pacific Railroad cutoff between Mayfield and Los Gatos and named it Los Altos (Spanish for the heights) because the land was the highest on that cutoff.
