I had a great morning at Starbucks today – the one in the MarketPlace Center at the corner of Bollinger Canyon and Alcosta.

Why, because I got to talk to Joel. Joel is an ambitious twenty-something year old that is into financial planning and has all of the drive and energy that he and his peers use to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

Our team is looking for a financial planner, that lives in the area bounded by I-680, the Iron Horse Trail, Montevideo and Pine Valley Drive. So, I asked Joel if he lived in the area. Nope, but he is looking to! Bummer – his sister-in-law is a Realtor out in Livermore and, according to Joel – doesn’t take betrayal lightly.

Well, we spent about fifteen minutes talking about the area, the real estate market, and local condos.

What was really refreshing is that Joel gets it – this is the time for buyers to make there move! I have a strong feeling that he will be pre-approved before the end of the week and that his sister-in-law will owe me at least one glass of wine.
