<p>How did we do it?  We put together an effective plan, executed on that plan in partnership with our clients, and developed an outreach campaign to attract the maximum number of agents and interested buyers.</p>
<p>In all, over 230 Real Estate Agents stop by the home on Broker Tour, when the home first came on the market.  Buyer traffic through the property was consistent from the time we hit the market.  Almost 280 potential buyers visited the property through open house, while even more buyers came by Benvenue Avenue via private showings.</p>
<p>So, the market remains strong, but inventory is relatively low.  There are a number of buyers looking to move into Los Altos, but they are strategically examining the available options.  With a strong real estate team in place, a seller or buyer could have a tactical advantage, if they utilize the right tools for today’s market.</p>
<p>If you are looking to move into Los Altos, or simply move across town, we are confident that we can help you.  Call us today at 650-823-1434.  We would love the opportunity to earn your business.</p>

<p>We also had many neighbors stop by to take a look.  They could not say enough about how much they love their neighborhood.  With close proximity to the schools and walkability to downtown Los Altos, it doesn’t get much better than this.  Whether we spoke to neighbors that had lived on Benvenue for 5 years or 35, the result was the same – they love where they live.</p>
<p>If you didn’t get a chance to see this great home last week-end, we will be open again this Sunday, May 23rd from 1:30pm-4:30pm.  Come check out this fabulous, North Los Altos Home.</p>

<p>There were many other complements graciously extended, including a lot of comments about the fully livable separate cottage.  They were also impressed with the many upgrades of the home, it&#8217;s entertainment space, and the indoor/outdoor flow.</p>
<p>During the tour, we had five Realtors send their clients to visit the property today &#8230; with others letting us know that their clients would be visiting the home over the coming weekend.  All-in-all, it was a very good introduction of the home into the market.</p>
<p>Interested in viewing the property?  Come on by and see what all of the buzz it about.  We are holding an open house this weekend from 1:30-4:30 pm, on both days.</p>
<p>If you would like a private tour, please call us today at 650-823-1434.  We would be happy to take care of you.</p>
