the sellers have lived in that home for a very long time, kids are out of the house, likely just downsizing…probably not overly concerned with the amount left on the table by hiring a “friend”. If they didn’t get this price or higher, they very likely would have just taken it off the market and stayed in the home.

The Norman Ln place is likely to close around $950,000 soon, bank approved short sale (the current owner is Ensenada man who cashed out over $450,000 and although he never got his asking price that last few years, he did get to keep this extra $450,000+, minus the cost of ownership (mortgage and property tax). For him it was still a profitable deal – go figure!
