About San Jose's The Villages Golf And Country Club

I'm Happy, Don't Judge Me

Michelle Carr-Crowe (408) 252-8900 Sells San Jose, Saratoga & Cupertino homes: Real Estate Agent in San Jose, CA

I'm Happy, Don't Judge Me

by Michelle Carr-Crowe, Cupertino real estate agent selling homes in San Jose, Calif.

I'm working with a wonderful senior citizen as a buyer right now in Silicon Valley. He sold his home in Grass Valley because his family just didn't visit him enough. He had friends and hobbies, but it's not the same as having your children and grandchildren nearby.

Now this nice gentleman has 6 children, most of whom live in Santa Clara County (Campbell, Los Gatos, San Jose, etc.).

We found a great place for him in The Villages, the most well-established and well-known of San Jose's premier active senior communities. It's affordable and he is so excited to begin living the active luxury lifestyle.

His other options at his price point for single family homes were Alum Rock, East Side San Jose, Downtown San Jose, the outskirts of Gilroy. Otherwise it was Watsonville, Los Gatos mountains or Hollister.

We've made an offer and are eagerly waiting for a positive response.

But in the meantime...all but 1 of the 6 children are questioning, badgering and judging him. What about all your stuff? You need to sell one of your cars. Why don't you move ___ instead?

I told him tonight, that we'd worked hard together to find solutions HE could be happy with. He is happy thinking about living there, in a beautiful, clean, safe community with lots of fun things happening-even a couple of car shows (he has two beautiful antique show cars), and new people (and ladies) to meet.

So when his children are asking him about this, that and the other, I told him, just tell them the truth:

"I am happy thinking about living here. Don't you want me to be happy? Then don't judge me, be happy for me."
