Tale of the Sale - When the Right Property Finds You
Sometimes the right property shows up at the exact right time—and this was one of those magical moments.
Nicole wasn’t actively house hunting. In fact, she was just about to sign a lease for a large warehouse to store belongings for her growing business. But then, a downtown Salida property popped up—complete with a detached pole barn that was exactly what she needed.
She called me right away.
The only hitch? I was out of town. But thanks to the amazing community of real estate professionals I’m lucky to work alongside, I had a solution. My trusted colleague Bob Gomez stepped in and showed the property on my behalf, giving Nicole and her partner a chance to see it right away.
They loved it.
We moved quickly to submit an offer—but we weren’t the only ones. It turned into a multiple offer situation. With strategic guidance, clear communication, and a little real estate savvy, we wrote a strong offer—and it was accepted!
Since closing, Nicole and her partner have completely transformed the home. They’ve renovated it beautifully—gutting it and making it feel brand new—and they’ve made it their own. The detached pole barn is now a functional space for their business, and the main house is being put to good use too.
Even better? The neighbors are thrilled to see this property getting the love and attention it deserves. It’s truly a win for everyone.
What I love most about this sale is how much trust it required—trust from Nicole in me, and from me in the people I work with. Even from afar, we never missed a beat. That’s the beauty of strong relationships, local knowledge, and a whole lot of heart.
