Eventually, she will convert the garage to an ADU, and have a triplex. This…

Yes! So excited for these buyers on getting their offer accepted! It’s been cutthroat out there in certain pockets of SoCal, and in certain price points. Everyone is trying to get into their first home. We were beat out by 43+ offers on some deals. But in some cases it’s a numbers game. I also…
