614 Huntleigh Dr, Lafayette — Buyer Negotiated Below Asking in Burton Valley

A Burton Valley buyer success demonstrating bilingual negotiation and local market judgment.

This buyer-side transaction took place in Lafayette’s Burton Valley neighborhood, where pricing discipline and local context mattered. The clients, first-time buyers relocating from New York, were focused on securing a home in Lamorinda that aligned with both budget and long-term livability. Through targeted search, local market judgment, and clear communication, the property at 614 Huntleigh Dr, Lafayette was successfully negotiated below list price and closed within two weeks.

Building Trust through Shared Language and Cultural Understanding

When my clients reached out in late September, our shared Cantonese background immediately fostered rapport and trust. As first-time buyers navigating a new area, they valued clear communication and felt reassured by my deep knowledge of both Lamorinda and the broader East Bay real estate market. Many Chinese-speaking families relocating to the East Bay seek an agent who offers both cultural understanding and local expertise.

Streamlined Search with Compass Technology

With a $2+ million budget, my clients prioritized a move-in-ready home featuring high ceilings, natural light, and strong future value. Using the Compass platform’s curated Collections feature, we efficiently shared properties, reviewed disclosures, and commented on listings in real time. This streamlined process saved us valuable time and allowed us to focus on homes that truly met their needs.

614 Huntleigh Dr: The Perfect Fit in Lafayette CA

The open floor plan, chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and vaulted ceiling make it ideal for modern living. Nestled in Burton Valley, this property’s price of $2,038,000 made it an exceptional find, especially given surrounding properties often range from $2.2 to $3 million.

Local Expertise and Personalized Guidance in Lamorinda

While my clients initially considered various neighborhoods, my knowledge of Lamorinda helped us narrow the options. They preferred flat, accessible homes, so we ruled out steep hillside properties in Orinda and parts of Lafayette, focusing instead on homes that matched their lifestyle preferences.
