With Pat's help and guidance we had bought a house in San Marcos while thinking we were going to move there from our home in El Centro after I'd sold my hardware stores and thinking to retire at age 82. After we'd spent a few weeks doing a kitchen remodel an other improvements, we decided we weren't ready, so we put the house back on the market. With a market of rising prices and scarce housing availability it ended up in a bidding war which Pat again guided us through successfully, and we recovered our remodel costs as well as a profit and the buyers were happy also!
