I myself was 18 when I purchased my 1st home and I was working with an 18 year old recently but darn... he got cold feet. That being said I work with a lot of young military people all the time.

My youngest client was a 24 year old.. I had called a service technician for a maintenance call on my furnace.  Since I think about real estate 24 hours a day the conversation turned to real estate.  He told me he had asked another agent to send him some listings as he wanted to buy his first home.  The other agent had not responded after several days.  I asked him for his requirements, his budget, location, etc.,  and told him by the time he got home he would have an email with some listings.   That was in 2003 and he has been a repeat client... in fact we are off to see a listing tomorrow priced at $ 839,000!!

She was a single lady in her 20's, and a referral from her grandparents, who we had worked with in the past.  She was my 'first' 1st-time home buyer, and very excited and nervous at the same time.  It was a fun experience Sam Shueh!

I was clear who was running that house.

The princesses room in their former house had more features than many kitchens.

Now the princess would settle for nothing less than a castle.
