Many families have traditions passed down from Grandparents. Others from the old world and some adopt them over the years. My family is not one rich in traditions. My paternal grandmother was the glue that bound our family's traditions and once she passed they pretty much crumbled.

In 1987 or maybe it was 1988 I accidentally launched a holiday tradition with my dad. It started as a one-time experiment that went incredibly right and we have stuck with it every year without fail.

Congratulations to the buyers of 1828 Clayton Way in Concord, who just closed escrow at $500,000 on their new home. Ken Fox and I were fortunate enough to represent our recent sellers of 4026 Salem St. (also in Concord) on this home that provided more space and a much larger lot for their family.

The home features 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a large finished basement with additional living areas and a workshop. It had been impeccably maintained by the original owner for nearly 60 years! It also features an expansive 15,000 square foot lot, which was perfect for our buyers who were looking for a large space for their children and pets.

If you're looking for assistance in finding a new home in the Concord area, please contact me - I'd be happy to help!
