Chapter 000099 Housing Selection

After Xiao Yifei ran to the small winery for another two days, Concubine Yue called and said that she was going to take Xiao Yifei to see the house.

The first thing they went to was Sausalito, north of the Golden Gate Bridge, known as the back garden of San Francisco and Little Venice, in this wealthy area, where the condition of a villa was very good.

After looking at the house, Concubine Yue pointed to a small peninsula jutting into San Francisco Bay on the opposite side and said:

"That's Belvedere, and we Chinese call it Belvedere. Don't look at it as inconspicuous, do you know what their per capita annual income is? ”

"How much?"

"At more than $110,000, it's 17th in the nation and first in a community of more than 1,000 people."

When I went, it turned out that there was still a rich area hidden here, with a per capita annual income of 110,000, and almost every family was millionaire.

"It's not best known for its high income, it's for a law."

"What kind of law, can't you live if your income is low?"

"No, it's pet-related. In 1977, they enacted a pet statute that stated that dogs were not allowed in public places unless they were led by their owners and kept on a leash. However, the word "and" is omitted from the text, and the result is that 'no-dog-shall-be-in-a-public--without-its-r-on-a-leash unless the owner wears a leash.' ’”

Xiao Yifei was messy in the sea breeze. There's an AND missing in front of on.,As a result, the meaning becomes like this.。 No wonder people say that smart people have gone to make money, and the rest of them are crooked melons and cracked dates.

After looking at the house, Xiao Yifei felt that the house was too old, and the smell of dampness here was too great, and he had to face the problem of salt spray rust, so he gave up this house.

After crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, you will enter the downtown area of San Francisco. After visiting several locations, Xiao Yifei was not very satisfied. Concubine Yue was ruthless, and she instructed Xiao Yifei to drive. After a few turns, I drove up the bridge across the sea, and it used to be Oakland and Berkeley.

"Let me start by saying that I don't do anything in Auckland, the law and order is not good. Berkeley is so noisy. ”

"Mr. Xiao, just keep driving."

So Xiao Yifei, under her command, actually passed through Auckland.

"Hey, where the hell are you going? Further on, the mountain is over. ”

"Let's keep walking."

Well, anyway, I carry a gun with me, and you're not afraid of a girl, what am I afraid of if I'm so strong.

So the car went over the mountains, continued to drive forward, then turned right and completely onto the highway.

Getting off the highway at a place named Danville, Xiao Yifei continued to drive according to her instructions. At this time, Concubine Yue was pointing the way and calling people.

The car stopped in front of a traffic light, Xiao Yifei looked at the name of the street in front of him, Diablo Street, haha, who took the name, Diablo Street. Is this the place to lead to the big pineapple, then that street should be called the Chaos Shelter.

"Turn left."

Uh, don't you go to KD? (kd, the game Diablo term, is to go and hit the big pineapple.) ）

After two more turns, the car came to the edge of a small hill. This road is full of dense houses, and every house has green trees, gardens, and swimming pools. It can be seen that this is really a rich area.

"Turn left and drive up."

Xiao Yifei just wanted to say that there was a dead-end road ahead, but Concubine Yue stopped the car.

Xiao Yifei took a lot of the next four corners, as long as he went a few meters further, he arrived at the end of the road, where the road is a big disc, which is convenient for everyone to turn around.

Concubine Yue was wearing high heels, ticking next to the car. Xiao Yifei glanced at the house number, 48 La-Jolla Street. 48 Jumbo Street, this street has a good name.

Concubine Yue asked proudly, "How is this house?" ”

Xiao Yifei looked at the house in front of him. It's a two-story building with a large parking lot, and it's a garage with one large and one small. There is a cement path next to it leading to the main entrance, and in front of the door is a large lawn, as well as green trees and flowers. The first impression is good.

"Not bad."

Concubine Yue twisted her ass to lead the way in front, and introduced as she walked.

"How about it, the parking lot of more than 80 square meters, the two garages of more than 60 square meters, you can park no matter how many cars you have."

There was a yellow box at the door, locked with an exaggerated lock, and Concubine Yue made a few strokes on the lock, then opened the plastic box and took out the key from it.

Ah, it turns out that this is how the key came, no wonder he wondered how Concubine Yue got the key when he started looking at the house.

"Don't you know? All the sell-side brokers put the keys in there, and as long as he told me the password, I could get the keys. ”

Khan, this is too lazy, the buyer and the seller's agent don't come.

"The whole house has two floors, more than 3,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms."

Xiao Yifei felt good about the interior of the room.

Concubine Yue pushed open the door of the backyard.

"The entire plot is 0.7 acres. Pool, terrace, garden at the back. ”

Xiao Yifei is more satisfied with this backyard. The same green trees, flowers and plants, more than 40 square meters of swimming pool, in this large backyard like a blue spring.

The house is located on this small hill more than 10 meters high, and the view is very open, and you can actually see the long highway that has just passed in the distance and the rolling mountains in the distance. The houses below the hill can be seen from the size of a matchbox in the distance to the neighbors below. The only regret is that the highest point of this small hill is two or three meters higher than Xiao Yifei's backyard, and it is not on his territory.

Climbing over the railing and climbing to the top of the small hill, Xiao Yifei found that the hill and the slope on the other side of the hill were untended and overgrown with weeds and wildflowers. At the foot of the hill is another house and the same large disc of the dead-end road.

Xiao Yifei pointed to the hillside full of wild flowers and weeds and asked, "What's going on here?" ”

Concubine Yue immediately called the seller's broker. The agent said that he would be there soon, and asked Xiao Yifei and them to wait.

Two people sat on the living room couch and waited for the agent. After a while, the sell-side broker came.

"Hello, my name is Anderson."

"Hello, my name is Concubine Yue, and I am Mr. Xiao's agent."

After Anderson's explanation, Xiao Yifei learned that the untended hillside belonged to the family at the bottom of the mountain, and their family originally wanted to use it as a garden, but unfortunately they had no money, so they could only be deserted like this.

"It's because of this wasteland that the surrounding rooms can't rise, and the community has been looking for trouble for him, but he just doesn't have the money."

Anderson was still complaining.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of this house?"

Concubine Yue looked at Xiao Yifei, Xiao Yifei nodded, and Concubine Yue said, "Mr. Xiao is more satisfied with this house, let's go back and discuss an offer for you." ”

"Okay, please discuss it as soon as possible, there are many people who may be interested in the house."

Concubine Yue smiled mysteriously and left a word, "Really?" ", pulled Xiao Yifei and floated away.

Xiao Yifei asked as he drove.

"What did you mean just now?"

"I've been following this house for a long time, I don't know the specifics of it, huh."

"You've been paying attention for a long time, what do you mean?"

"This is the house I chose for myself, and now you have taken it."

"Aren't you working in San Francisco?"

Xiao Yifei had an expression of "don't fool me". It's a 40-minute to one-hour drive from here to San Francisco, and it's impossible to get to work for such a long time every day.

"I definitely stayed in San Francisco at the beginning, and I plan to come here for the weekend. Behind,"

Concubine Yue's words changed,

"Mr. Xiao, do you know what industry is the most developed in Danville?"

"How did I know, I've only been in the United States for a few days, and I'm staying in such a remote place as Callistoga, if you don't say it, I can't find it."

"Hmph, the most developed business in Danville is the real estate agency business, in Danville, 6 of the top 10 companies in terms of the number of employees are real estate agencies, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find a job here. Moreover, Sotheby Real Estate also has a branch here. ”

Khan, what kind of city is this, why are there so many intermediaries?

"This is a well-known rich area, but it's a pity that you have robbed this house now."

"How long have you been keeping an eye on the house?"

"It's been half a year, and I just got enough money for a down payment not long ago."

Xiao Yifei understood it when he thought about it.

"It turned out that he was using the commission he earned from me as a down payment."

Xiao Yifei has no guilt now.

"Hehe, you've seen through it."

"It's just that your commission isn't hundreds of thousands? Why haven't you started until now? ”

"I won't tell you."

"Tell me about this house, I think you were smiling weirdly."

"Hey, that's a polite smile, what's weird."

After a few complaints, Concubine Yue began to talk about the situation of the house.

"This house was originally a businessman's, because of the economic crisis, eager to sell the house, from January 15 this year on the sale, the price at that time was 1.49 million, but unfortunately everyone is waiting and watching, no one is willing to buy. In March, April, June, August and September, the price was reduced 5 times, and just yesterday it was a little lower. ”

Damn, in just 9 months, it has been lowered 6 times, which is faster than the interest rate cut.

"Is this a stained house?"

The so-called tainted house means that there have been nausea and unnatural deaths in the house, such as homicide, suicide, AIDS, etc., which are still taboo for everyone.

"I've checked it a long time ago, and there is no problem, it's just that the owner of the house is losing money in business and is in a hurry to get rid of it."

Think about it, after all, Concubine Yue prepared a house for herself at the beginning, and she is also Chinese, so she must be more concerned about whether it is a tainted house. Now it seems that this person is really in a hurry to make a move, which also shows that no one has taken over, no wonder Anderson said that there are other people who may be interested in it, Concubine Yue smiled so weirdly.

"What's the price now?"

"1,245,000. If you want to buy, and it's all cash, if you pay it all at once, let's try to quote 1.2 million. ”

Xiao Yifei thought about it, saving more than 40,000 yuan is just a few years of property tax, so he nodded and agreed to this offer.

On the third day, Concubine Yue called and told the owner that she had agreed to their offer. Xiao Yifei rushed back to San Francisco from Calistoga and signed a power of attorney, entrusting lawyer Ryan and Concubine Yue to take full charge of the next property inspection. This is simpler than any business that Xiao Yifei has done.

A few days later, Xiao Yifei went out with a check, and he completed the transaction without even seeing the original owner, and the subsequent legal procedures were naturally a matter for lawyers and intermediaries.

When Concubine Yue sent him the key to the winery, Xiao Yifei expressed his gratitude. At the end, he also provoked her:

"Sorry for stealing your target."

"It's okay, I also want to thank you for making me another 30,000 commissions. And the house in Sausalito, facing the bay, I liked it so much that I had already made a deposit. ”

"Oh, that's not bad."

"yes, I live there, and it's San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, and I don't even have to change jobs."
