This was a nice morning. I woke up at 8. Go figure. After a leisurely morning, Kristi let me run to the DMV to grab my gold star license (unnecessary, I know) because Natalie had to go too…or we thought. Turns out I’m a chauffeur for another week! Anyways, once we got to the office we started grinding. I managed to finish my first new development flyer, a nice paper filled with information about location, features, and pricing of a development close to the office. After that, I went ahead and added pictures and links to the unofficial fun holiday list that we had at the office. Afterwards, we met with Ed, a commercial developer at KW. We had a good chat and to be quite honest, it was super productive because he taught me that I really don’t want to get into development. He talked about how it takes a while to get into it and even longer for projects to be completed, two things that would cause my impatience to skyrocket. Similarly, he really conveyed the message that it is not a field to enter into. After this meeting, we met with Dona again to debrief the appointment we had last week. We discussed the comparables that were near the clients house, what they closed for, and what the strategy was to list her house should she really want to move. Natalie and I then went to check out more homes after we finished the morning meetings. We first stopped at the Piazza at Stonewater development, an amazing community right near the Tobacco Trail and Parkside Commons. We toured two models (Sonoma and Oakhurst) and when I tell you they were tricked out, you have no idea. Sonoma was my favorite out of the two, due to the amazing basement (cinema, workshop, and wine cellar included), awesomely huge kitchen, and the amazing closet space. Oakhurst was super nice too, just a bit smaller and less tricked out than Sonoma. However, we learned that Sonoma would be sold anywhere between $735,000 and $1,250,000 (aka the model we toured), so it made sense that Oakhurst was less finished (Oakhurst was listed for a measly $850,000)! Afterwards, we headed out to Amberley Estates, the second community of the day. We had a bit of trouble locating the community, but it was worth the wait! We toured two models again and realized the same thing happened: first model was CRAZY and second was….nice. We thought the first was super cool, albeit a bit awkwardly spaced. However, the second was a bit cheap looking, with more average finishes. Today was an awesome and eyeopening day and we cannot wait to see more properties tomorrow!
