Question: I want to move and I know my home will sell quickly, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a house to buy and I don’t want to move twice. What should I do?

ANSWER: You are not alone! Many potential home sellers are finding themselves in the same situation. One of the main reasons there are so few homes for sale today is because potential sellers, like you, find themselves wondering where they will go if their home sells quickly.

The answer in part depends on your level of motivation. When inventory is low it provides a great opportunity for sellers. However, the tables are turned when sellers become buyers and there are very few homes for sale.

Here are a few options to consider:

20

You could find a home to buy and make your offer contingent upon selling your present home. However, in a competitive home buying environment you may find yourself competing with other buyers who do not have a home to sell, and that puts you at a disadvantage – especially if your home is not yet on the market.

A better option might be to negotiate the sale of your present home contingent upon finding a suitable replacement home. Having your home already on the market tells a seller that you are serious and have already taken the first step.

Another option might be to negotiate a 30 or 60 day “rent back” from your buyer.

You would then have an extra month or two to find a new home and make your move.

Understand that your “rent” would most likely

be determined by the new owner’s cost to carry the house, which might be higher than you are used to paying. However, eliminating the cost of a double move may well be worth paying a little extra for a short period of time.

I have found that most often sellers find a suitable replacement home within a reasonable period of time once they set their minds to it, and things work out just fine. I recommend talking to your real estate agent and coming up with a plan.

JouJou and her associate, Jamey Tak were the most responsive realtors I have ever worked with.

They would call me back anytime I had a question or concern, text or email. I never had to wait.

I would highly recommend both of them because of their utmost professionalism, responsiveness, negotiation tactics and knowledge of the industry. Mae & Joe B.

Jou Jou is the hardest working woman in real estate. She is a tough negotiator, has incredible knowledge of the real estate market and is always available for her clients. Can’t say enough good things about working with her and her staff. Professional and thorough - all things you want in an outstanding real estate broker. Jeff & Heather P.

Jou Jou and her team were incredible to work with. As first time home buyers, my husband I were a little intimidated about entering the real estate market. Jou Jou’s extensive knowledge of the east bay neighborhoods and current market trends really put us at ease. We are so thankful we had such a wonderful seasoned professional representing us through out the process. I am thrilled to say we bought our first home this year - and it had a tremendous amount to do with who we selected to help us find this house. Jou Jou is wonderful and we would highly recommend to anyone, especially the first time home buyer. Katie B.

Jou Jou has a thorough knowledge of the real estate market in her area.She has a complete grasp of process expertise and is very mindful and responsive to customer needs and preferences. Jou Jou has a way of finding the real estate you are looking for even before it goes on the market.Best of all she will negotiate her way to a successful deal keeping the customer’s interest in mind. I would highly recommend Jou Jou as the agent for your next real estate deal.

Villa Serena

Tu s c a n S t y l e M e e t s W e s t e r n L u x u r y Nestled in the private gated community of The Blackhawk Country Club, this grand, Tuscan-style estate offers unparalleled style and serenity.

Listed by Jou Jou Chawla, a top-producing Rockcliff Realtor known for selling some of the area’s finest homes, Villa Serena sits on 1.13 acres surrounded by scaling hilltops and panoramic views of Mount Diablo.

“Villa Serena is truly one-of-a-kind,” says Jou Jou. “The exotic architecture, spacious floor plan and stunning views are rare to come by.”

Its 7 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths and the 4-car garage includes an au pair unit and guest studio, providing 6091 sq. ft. of space for a growing family. Skillfully updated over the past year, the remodeled home boasts a refreshing, Mediterranean feel with brand new features carefully added with ultimate luxury in mind.

The wrought-iron gate, paver driveway, and stunning resortlike grounds open up to a grand two-story entrance with dual fireplaces, marble floors and sparkling designer chandeliers. Like

the rest of the home, the space has been visually brightened and lightened with soft cream tones and crown moldings, evoking an aura of natural elegance throughout the living, family and dining rooms.

Filled with Tuscan flair, the family room features a hand-carved limestone archway leading to the gourmet chef’s kitchen and breakfast area. Residents can prepare dinner over decorative granite and multi-colored marble countertops with breathtaking views of the surrounding valley. This space also hosts its own wine cellar, walk-in pantry, and custom built maple-lined cabinetry.

The villa’s second floor has 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths each with vast closet space, a shared laundry unit, and individual access to secluded patios ideal for morning tea or afternoon wine tasting.

The master suite features a stream of panoramic windows, offering ample natural lighting and gorgeous eastern-facing views of the valley. Designed for optimal comfort, this space comes with its own patio, wet bar, mini refrigerator and enclosed laundry unit.

Complemented by an extravagant walk-in closet, residents can

rest at ease, knowing even the most extensive wardrobe will fit with space to spare. The updated master bath comes with glamorous, white polished Calacatta oro marble, Kalista plumbing fixtures, Jacuzzi tub, dual-headed oversized shower enclosure, and natural lighting, making this winddown room all the more soothing.

Ideal for entertaining, this estate also features a fully-stocked media room equipped with a dropdown projector, sub-zero refrigerator, wet bar and wine chiller with direct access to the motor court, loggia, swimming pool, and outdoor hot tub.

Beyond the pool lies an elegant, oversized patio alongside a hillside brook, opening up to exquisite views of the Blackhawk hills. Conveniently located just outside the kitchen, residents can enjoy poolside barbeques with a gas grill, dual minifridges and marble-topped prep tables for added pleasure.

Equally designed for evening entertainment, the space features a mason fire-pit filled with reflective blue glass, making every moonlit gathering a magical experience.

Perfect for a couple or multi-generational family, this extravagant estate also harbors a fully equipped au pair unit with en suite bathroom and a separate artist’s studio with a walking trail, providing spacious living quarters for all.

With so much to offer in such a serene, secluded location, Villa Serena is truly a gem of its own kind.
