A NEIGHBORHOOD RECORD SALE PRICE. The out-of-the-area owners had rented out this home for many years. They were surprised at how tattered the property was once the tenants moved out.

The family trust for this Russian Hill top-floor condo was ready to sell. The unit, and the whole building for that matter, hadn’t aged well. The dark, dated lobby was the first clue. The attorney who introduced Craig had been navigating multiple parties to the trust and their influencers, none shy about asserting their differing opinions. During the first meeting, one of the decision makers announced her big assumptions. She said to Craig, "I know the unit is worth more than $3 million and you better not cheat the trust." Intense! Stains on ceilings and walls showed the roof needed replacing. Windows were worn out too, but the budget couldn’t stretch to hire a crane and scaffolding to install new ones. After agreeing to our recommended listing price of $1.999 million, a week later the trust bumped it to $2.49 million, then dropped it to $1.749 million. This kind of chaos worries buyers.
