🏡 Closed Today: A Hidden Gem in Los Altos 💎

Off-market, on-point, and perfectly matched to our buyers.

In the ever-competitive Los Altos market, finding the right home often takes more than persistence—it takes timing, strategy, and access to opportunities that never make it to the public eye. Today, I’m excited to share the story behind a just-closed, off-market success that checked all the boxes for one incredibly patient and determined buyer.

A Year-Long Search for the Right Fit

This client and I had been working together for over a year. His vision and budget were clear, but given the intense demand in Los Altos, finding a home that truly aligned with his priorities proved to be a challenge.

Week after week, we reviewed listings and explored options, but none fully captured what he needed—especially when it came to layout, condition, and ceiling height (a personal must-have). While we didn’t settle, we also didn’t stop searching.

The Game-Changer: An Off-Market Opportunity

Last month, through one of my private channels, I was alerted to a home that hadn’t hit the public market yet. From the initial walkthrough, I knew this could be the one.

• Built in 2000 and beautifully maintained

• Featuring rare soaring high ceilings

• Listed at $5.9M

It immediately stood out—and not just because of how well it aligned with my client's needs, but because the value was clearly exceptional.

How This Deal Stands Out

To put this opportunity in context:

📌 At the same time, another nearby home with less square footage and no high ceilings was listed at $6.25M.📌 Just across the street, a newly built property with a similar lot size sold last year for $7.15M—and it was once this client’s dream home.📌 We estimate that if this new home had been publicly listed, it could have attracted offers well above $6.3M, easily.

Acting quickly, we secured the property before it reached a wider audience—avoiding competition and negotiating with clarity.

From Closing to Customization

The day after we closed, I introduced the client to an architect to begin planning a $300K renovation—focused on targeted upgrades to align the home even more closely with his lifestyle and preferences.

What makes this so special isn’t just the deal or the timing—it’s the full-circle experience: from more than a year of patient searching to landing a hidden gem and now transforming it into a truly personal space.

Why Off-Market Deals Matter

Many assume "off-market" means secretive or exclusive. But in reality, off-market means precision. These are homes that match specific needs and are shared through trusted networks—not search portals.
