New agent

[sonia]

I have a new real estate agent, recommended by my new singing friend here, and it's such a relief and opening up of possibilities. My sense is that she's a grownup anchored in the real world. At any rate she's much closer to my age and amount of experience in the world, an Oakland resident and native.

She's suggesting I look in a larger swath of Oakland, and that enlarges the possibility of getting my own small house instead of a condo. Which also makes me feel like more of a grownup. While I don't want a place that's too big, I don't want a place that's too small either, that I've already outgrown. Just right, please.

I'm so hoping for a place I can nest, anchor, root, delight in. It feels more possible tonight.

I'm glad first impressions feel like a better fit, and may she help you find a place that feels just right!

She seems focused on an area further south than I want to be, to the point of ignoring a house I pointed out several times, but she did suggest a place in the right area that I'm seeing tomorrow. If that goes through, fine, and if not I will try to find someone who can best help me end up where I want to end up.

Oh good. The previous person sounded like a tool that was no longer usefully shaped for your purposes.

Step by step in the right direction. Interestingly, I get the sense that the turbulence is needed to open the way for the right thing.
