SUMMARY
Clyde and Yueling had cherished their hillside duplex on Barrett Road in El Sereno for over 50 years, enjoying breathtaking views few properties could match. However, age and mobility concerns had transformed their once idyllic home into a source of constant worry. Clyde found himself practically confined to the property, leaving only in emergencies, while Yueling needed closer amenities and simpler living. With the stress of potential evacuation always present, traditional open houses or showings were out of the question, yet receiving fair market value was essential.
ThirdShift understood the delicate situation and acted quickly, targeting specific end-users; Families or multi-generational buyers who could fully utilize the duplex and its adjacent parcel was the only real target market that made sense. By emphasizing both the property's current appeal and future potential for development, ThirdShift created a compelling offer without disrupting Clyde and Yueling’s daily life.
The swift, carefully managed 28-day closing timeline allowed Clyde and Yueling to transition smoothly to a safer, more comfortable setting, providing financial security for their future. ThirdShift delivered peace of mind, ensuring their twilight years would be spent exactly as they wished with safety, relaxation, and no financial or property related worries.
