Trading Up in South Livermore to More Land and More Room

We work both sides of the move, which is what trading up needs. The sale of your current home and the purchase of the next one are one plan. We run both, so the timing and the numbers fit together.

Your current home goes through our Model-Home Launch System. Cornerstone covers professional cleaning, paint, landscaping and staging in most cases. We agree on the terms before work begins. Julie Dawson has sold two homes with us, and she put it this way: "They had our house beautifully staged and photographed, which we believe contributed greatly to a full priced sell."

We've done this nearly 2,000 times across the Tri-Valley, and both partners still do the work themselves. We're recognized by REAL Broker as Elite Agents.

We also keep the math in front of you the whole way. Your equity, the price range of the next home, the payment and what happens in each timing scenario. You'll see all of it before you list or make an offer.

Many move-up buyers who land in South Livermore already know the city well. They've spent weekends at the wineries and evenings downtown, and now they want a home that puts both closer. That's a good reason to move here. It also means you should know exactly what the bigger lot will ask of you, from landscaping to irrigation to a vineyard's regular care. We make sure you do, before you commit.

South Livermore is a natural next step for many Livermore owners. You keep the city you know, with downtown's Bankhead Theater and Livermore-Amador Symphony close by. You add an estate-style lot on the south side of town, near the wineries of one of California's oldest wine regions.

The trade-off is the land. More lot means more to maintain, and a hobby vineyard needs regular care. Before you make an offer, we'll talk through what the property will ask of you. Some buyers want the vineyard. Others want the space without it.

Timing matters on a move like this. Estate-style properties don't all come up at once, so we keep your current home ready to launch and your financing ready to go. When the right South Livermore property appears, you can act without scrambling.
