But if your home office isn’t designed for full-time use, accomplishing your work-related goals can be difficult. By planning wisely and up- grading appropriately, you can make your home office a comfortable and motivating environment. Home Offices That Fit Your Lifestyle and Work Habits Home office needs will differ based on work habits and lifestyle. Many homeowners prefer to locate their offices away from loud living spaces. If you need a quiet space, think about converting a upstairs or back bedroom away from the living room or kitchen into a residential office. Parents who need to work while monitoring children may want a more centralized or scalable space.

Thanks to the extraordinary professionalism and indispensable expertise of Terry and the St.Clair team - we closed a month later! My case involved several potential deal breakers includ- ing: a unique offer structure; a multiple offer situation; an appraisal issue; and an aggressive closing schedule; all of which they handled effortlessly. I would highly recommend Terry & Jennifer to all serious buyers who appreciate flawless service and peerless professionalism.\"Recently Sold in Serra MesaFull Address TotBds EstSF TotB YrBlt DOMLS ListPrice Sold Price Lst Date COEDate3575 Ruffin Rd 204 2 788 1 1975 3 $257,500 - $265,000 $265,000.00 6/2/2017 7/17/20179149 Village Glen Dr 186 3 1096 2 1980 0 $350,000.00 $350,000.00 5/29/2017 7/26/20177728 Nightingale Way 2 1200 3 1974 7 $359,000 - $379,000 $381,000.00 6/2/2017 7/10/20177716 Nightingale Way 2 1278 3 1974 21 $390,000.00 $390,000.00 5/4/2017 7/5/20173587 Ruffin Rd 119 4 1309 2 1975 6 $374,999 - $399,999 $407,500.00 6/22/2017 7/31/20177754 Nightingale Way 4 1454 3 1974 6 $425,000.00 $450,000.00 6/9/2017 7/13/20175950 Mission Center Road B 2 1440 3 1986 16 $495,000 - $519,000 $499,000.00 6/8/2017 7/21/20178662 Glenhaven Street 3 1381 2 1960 13 $525,000.00 $525,000.00 5/3/2017 7/5/20174908 Juneberry Ct 2 1695 3 2005 0 $529,000.00 $534,000.00 6/23/2017 7/7/20172566 Melbourne 3 1108 2 1960 7 $525,000 - $550,000 $560,000.00 6/1/2017 7/3/20172878 Amulet Street 3 1277 2 1959 0 $550,000 - $569,000 $550,000.00 6/9/2017 7/13/20173262 Towser 3 1200 2 1958 19 $575,000.00 $575,000.00 6/8/2017 7/5/20178902 Gramercy Dr 4 1152 2 1958 3 $545,000 - $575,000 $575,000.00 6/2/2017 7/10/20179144 Hector Avenue 3 1853 2 1970 21 $549,000 - $575,000 $510,000.00 6/10/2017 7/12/20178622 Pinecrest Ave 4 1356 2 1956 6 $575,000.00 $575,000.00 6/15/2017 7/18/20172290 Salisbury 4 1700 3 1961 9 $589,000.00 $602,500.00 4/6/2017 7/12/20173133 Mobley 3 1080 2 1958 6 $599,000 - $619,000 $619,000.00 6/23/2017 7/25/20179667 Stonecrest blvd 3 1307 3 1998 6 $624,000.00 $618,000.00 6/8/2017 7/19/20178811 Sovereign Rd 4 1900 3 1959 10 $644,900.00 $644,900.00 6/10/2017 7/18/20172887 W Canyon Ave 3 1514 3 1999 11 $659,900 - $679,900 $675,000.00 6/1/2017 7/13/20178432 Royce Ct 4 1700 3 1961 10 $699,000.00 $688,058.00 6/15/2017 7/14/20178713 Encino Avenue 4 1700 2 1961 4 $649,000 - $759,000 $693,000.00 6/1/2017 7/13/20172760 W Canyon Ave 5 2915 3 2000 3 $815,000.00 $805,000.00 5/17/2017 7/17/20172626 West Canyon Ave 5 2677 3 2000 11 $825,000.00 $814,067.00 5/23/2017 7/7/2017 Jennifer St.Clair Broker/Owner B.S.
