Beyond removing the time pressure to get into the community, we took things a step further to accommodate Barbara’s needs as a senior. The sales agreement we hand-delivered to her house (because Barbara did not have internet) gave her a full two weeks to live in her house after the sale so she could have time to make the move. She is very grateful and says, “Lathe Lavada and his staff are so wonderful. They think of everything.” We’re extremely happy to report that Barbara was accepted into her dream community!
