Most sellers left money on the table.

35 homes closed in Palo Alto in the past 90 days. The ones who priced from data, not from instinct, closed faster and netted more.

What would happen to your plans if the market shifted before you had the numbers?

Timothy Alston

"The sellers who leave the most money on the table are not the ones who price wrong. They are the ones who did not know what the right price was before they started. That is the gap I close. What would change if you knew the number first?"

About This Home

The Spanish-inspired facade, with its terra-cotta tile porch and gracious overhanging roofline, sets the stage for the romance and character within. A thoroughly modern two-level retreat awaits, thoughtfully updated for today's most discerning buyer. The chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece dramatic navy subway tile, star-patterned tile floors, quartz countertops, a brass-fitted apron sink, and a dramatic skylight overhead. Appointed with a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Samsung microwave, and Cove dishwasher, it is as functional as it is beautiful. A charming dining nook, two bedrooms (one with a flexible Murphy bed), and a full bath with skylight, soaking tub, and shower complete the main level. Wide stairs, flanked by custom storage cabinetry, descend to a gracious lower-level living room featuring extensive custom cabinetry. Light-filled and serene, it defies every expectation of below-grade living. A well-appointed bedroom and the primary suite with a light well and 2026-renovated bathroom complete the retreat. Less than a mile to University Avenue's celebrated shops and restaurants, with easy access to Highway 101 and top Silicon Valley employers. Served by Palo Alto's finest schools.
