Irrespective of the crime in that area today- it has been identified as a new arts district that San Jose is trying to develop so they are adding incentives for condos and restaurants etc- the area is called Martha Gardens. So the area is gentrifying. It is pretty run down over there right now though. - Sat Jul 5 2008, 09:34

you are going to get a lot of baloney answers from all the real estate agents that troll this site. The amt of work required to do paperwork on a property sale is miniscule and worth less than $4K, but anyway they have an incentive to act like it is rocket science.
My advice is to make your offer with Redfin. They do all the work and give you 2/3 back, probably around $4K for their services. - Sat Jul 5 2008, 09:30

Just FYI, there are a number of scams ongoing regarding buyer representation. I was scanning craigslist for properties and in an email when I asked for an address to an REO- the reply included a radio button "I accept" which was basically an agreement to use THIS AGENT as a buyers agent for THIS PROPERTY. My advice is don't sign anything and tell this RE agent to bugger off. Do your own research, it really isnt' that hard, and use trulia to search for the RE you want and when you are ready to make an offer, use Redfin or one of the discount sties. - Fri Mar 7 2008, 10:13
