Strange number – I wonder how many times this was batted back and forth?
6 KHAKUM DR – GREENWICH, CT
John and Susan Hess (oil and gas) have done well with some of their real estate transactions, such as their Tribeca loft that they sold in ’09 netting a $300K profit. 6 Khakum Dr in Greenwich, seems to be no exception – albeit not getting their original asking price of $15M (can you say a bit steep?). They bought the property in 1995 for $2,945,000…renovated and added to the property 14 years ago, and sold it for close to the last list of $8,995,000 after 521 days on market, all with the same agent.
Nearly 8200 SF of lavish living space and 3+ acres of lawn and gardens – additional features include a bowling alley, theater, tennis court and pool. This is my favorite part of the property.
The art of the deal transcends all businesses, and more so in real estate than in many other professions. For the client, it's often an emotional purchase or sale, rather than a simple commodity or luxury item. I make it my mission to have each side come to terms with a transaction that works for everyone. It's not always easy, but good things in life usually take effort - something from which I've never shied.
Licensed since 2009 as a real estate sales agent in CT & NY, I often work with clients on the border of both areas.
With sales and distribution experience for luxury designer products, and watching/reacting to the markets, my acumen for sales was established. Achieving success and contributing to the growth of many global apparel designer brands, such as Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith for over 20 years, it was time for a change. I wanted to explore another passion that would keep me in one location rather than traveling the globe.
Now I have the best of both worlds, a successful business as a fulfilling personal life. My husband and I have lived in back country Greenwich since 2003, where we enjoy easy access to great biking, hiking and golf. We love to ski and that's usually where our travel takes us.
Life is good in Greenwich!
