Contra Costa, California Real Estate

A highly experienced associate of mine, Bill Leone, recently asked me to co-list a luxury view home on acreage with solar, septic, well (septic and well are uncommon in our area) and the plans and utilities are in place for a second home on the property. 

Honestly, the seller could not have picked a more qualified person than Bill to represent this unique property.  In addition to Bill's traditional real estate knowledge, he is a walking dictionary of all things pertaining to residential construction, land use issues and the permit process. 

When Bill came to me and requested that I co-list the property, my first reaction was, "Huh? Why?"  His response was interesting.  The property is both luxury and unique.  The "old school" marketing may not flush out the buyer for this property and he is too busy to upgrade his mental hard-drive and learn my internet marketing strategies from scratch.  In order to provide proper representation to this seller, both skill-sets are required. 

The short time we have worked together has been fascinating for me as I watch a knowledgeable 20 year veteran in action.  From the initial listing appointment to his Critical Path Marketing system, he has been an open book.  I have also learned how deep the average foundation pier is to bedrock for a hillside home, the clues that reflect construction quality, that a well must pump a minimum of 4 gallons per minute and that septic tanks can be constructed of different materials and not all are equal.

You won't find Bill Leone on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, a blog or a social network (yet) - he is a successful, old school, referral kind of guy.  For my part, I can't wait to show him that the internet isn't difficult, doesn't cost a fortune, reaches local, national and international buyers and is a new venue for his current, successful strategies.
