One of my dearest friends is moving to Palm Springs. We spent a very hot weekend in the Palm Springs area last weekend; it was 111 degrees. The heat did not change her mind; she's leaving Palos Verdes. After twenty plus years she is ready for a fresh start. Yikes, my friends are downsizing, retiring and kicking back.
We've both spent a lot of time in the California desert so it is familiar territory. She knows where she wants to live and I'll act as her agent. I listed her townhouse this week. Great, two sales, except it feels a little strange to be helping a good friend leave town. Thank heavens it's only 120 miles (and about the same for gasoline!) away, so we can still get together on a semi-regular basis.
As real estate agents we often participate in our clients' life changing moments. Marriage, births, divorce, retirement and death all trigger real estate related decisions. I'm honored to be there to help with the transition from one phase of life to another. As her agent, I will make every effort to provide guidance and options, plus find her a great deal!
As her friend, I'll take her to my favorite little French restaurant for breakfast, and my favorite restaurant for live music and dancing after a long day of housing hunting.
A lot of work, a little fun, and before she knows it she'll be desert bound.
