MUST READ: Silicon Valley commercial real estate market continues to hum in second quarter
Here’s a phrase you might encounter (verbatim or paraphrased) while perusing some of the second-quarter commercial real estate reports being released this month:  “Not since the dot-com era.”  That locution — applied to leasing activity, development, sales or rents — is a reflection of continued strong activity across asset classes and…

RECENT EXPERIENCES:

  • Used a drone to shoot an aerial video to highlight a spectacular view lot in Almaden Valley.
  • Performed research at the city in order to discover the feasibility of splitting a lot.
  • Helped a seller put together a 6 month plan to prepare a home for sale.
THINGS I CAN HELP WITH:
  • Considering selling in the next 18 months? Let me know and I can give you advice and strategies to obtain top market value.
  • Looking for a home in a specific school district? My website can do that for you.
  • Looking for a home with an “open floorplan” or “big backyard”? My website can do that too.
Email me for these CUSTOM services.

Selling before buying can be really tricky in a market like this, but you do have options. Let me help by first
filling out this form so I can get started on pricing your current home, and then we can discuss options to prevent a double move, or worse, not being able to buy the replacement!

RECAP: Santa Clara County
Demand for housing in Santa Clara County is continuing to be very strong. Buying opportunities will remain limited until more people bring their home to the market.

RECAP: San Mateo County
San Mateo County sales are staying strong. I think the trend for the coming months will be consistent with the previous 6 months. CALL ME IF YOU NEED
ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
