After placing an identical bid on another unit in the same complex at 4365 McLaughlin Ave., and being met with an over-market counter-offer, we advised our clients that the market did not justify increasing their offer, and our clients decided to pass on the opportunity. Shortly thereafter, this unit, with an additional 100 square feet and a bonus storage room, came on the market and our clients were able to secure the property with a well-organized and early bid, beating out several other competing bids. After a short and smooth escrow, despite working with a loan with less than 20% down, our clients secured this condominium at a great value. Our clients also subsequently took advantage of their home warranty protection plan, which was included in the sale, by having their air conditioning unit repaired, saving them a significant potential expense.
