In Lafayette’s prestigious Burton Valley neighborhood, a beautifully updated home awaited its new owners. My clients, first-time buyers from New York, were eager to settle in the East Bay, CA, and finding a home within their budget that met their high standards was essential. With a focus on Lamorinda, we secured their dream home at 614 Huntleigh Dr, Lafayette, CA 94549, below list price—and all within just two weeks. This success showcases the impact of my efficient strategy, local expertise, and skilled negotiation in multiple languages.
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
Our search led us to 614 Huntleigh Dr, a beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. 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.
A Strategic Offer Secures the Deal in Burton Valley
With 614 Huntleigh Dr on the market for over 40 days, we crafted a strategic offer of $2,038,000—my clients’ lucky number—and were thrilled when the seller accepted. This final price, well below its $2,095,000 list, represented a fantastic value in a competitive market, offering my clients both a sound investment and the perfect home.

In just three showings, and under a month, my clients found their ideal home in Lafayette’s Burton Valley.
