ROSSMOOR IN WALNUT CREEK ISN’T YOUR MOTHER’S RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

WELL, ACTUALLY IT IS.  BUT NOW IT’S FOR YOUR HIP, ON THE GO, BOOMER MOM (DAD, TOO.  OR MOM AND MOM ETC.)

SEND ME YOUR BOOMER CLIENTS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR REALLY NICE, CLOSE IN HOUSING.

THERE HAS BEEN A SEA CHANGE HERE.  THE FANCY CONTRACTORS HAVE INVADED THE PLACE.  SOME OF THESE UNITS COULD BE ON TOP OF NOB HILL OR IN PALO ALTO.

AND THE PRICES ARE UNBELIEVABLE.  YOU CAN GET A MANSION FOR ONE MILL AND A REALLY GORGEOUS PLACE FOR $500-800k.   AND IF THEY ARE REALLY INTERSTED IN DOWNSIZING, WE HAVE PLACES FOR UNDER $200,000.

SO SELL THEIR HARD-TO-MAINTAIN HOUSES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY AND TELL THEM ABOUT THE FRESH AIR AND HUGE COMMUNITY WITH TONS OF ACTIVITIES THEY CAN ENJOY.  No shuffle board, though.

I WILL BE HAPPY TO GIVE THEM (AND YOU) TOURS.  I WILL PAY A 25% REFERRAL FEE.
It’s  complicated to sell here (many coops for example) and you don’t want to spend all your time learning the lingo.
BETTER CALL LINDA.
