1/ Los Altos has a magic number this fall: $3,998,000. Almost every week a home lists at or just under it, and most sell in the first round for $1M to $2M over list. Here's the $3,998,000 club 🧵

7/ It started with Paco in March. We priced it at $3,998,000, got 5 strong offers, and sold for $5.108M. Since then, $3,998,000 has become the number to watch in Los Altos.

AI builds my website now. AI handles my SEO now. So which one of you is going to tell the 14 "web design agencies" texting me every day that the position's been filled?

A visitor at my open house today: 'You agents are like the mafia — you all know each other and nobody outside gets a deal done.’ 😆 the truth is we're just a small, tight community of top producing agents who've worked together for years. Relationships, reputation, and hustle. That's the whole 'secret.' 🤝 #siliconvalleyrealestate #losaltosrealestate #paloaltorealestate

Just saw a CHP officer stop traffic on the freeway to guide a family of ducks—two parents and their ducklings—to exit safely. Even had duck sounds playing from the patrol car to keep them moving. Small moment, big reminder: humanity is alive and well 🦆💛

So, had a buyer at today’s Palo Alto open house tell me they’d just bulldoze the place—then complained why I’m not answering all their questions on demand. Newsflash: I’m here to get my seller top dollar, not to be the buyer’s personal encyclopedia. That’s why you have your own agent! #SellingPaloAlto #rainmakerrealestate
