Testimonials
"San Carlos, CA 94070
Dear Jim,
THANK YOU! In addition to selling our home at an equitable price in less than two weeks, you have introduced us to a standard of quality in service that is beyond compare. It is very rare to meet a person of your integrity.
From your initial presentation until the closing of escrow and beyond you have listened, guided and followed through to the very last detail. You have done exactly what you have said you would do.
In general, real estate transactions can often result in many anxious moments and / or difficult circumstances, we have been through our share. We are grateful that you have made the process both painless and enjoyable."

Marie,
I’ve had experience with both short sales and REOs. Obviously REOs are preferable to short sales because they generally take less time. Short sales can take longer and may never close. Whether it’s a short sale or an REO you want to write an offer that is as strong as possible so that if will be accepted by the lender. That includes your deposit. Your deposit is not at risk until your offer is accepted and you have removed all of your contingencies. So write a strong offer with a deposit that most lenders would consider reasonable and you’ll have a good chance of getting your offer accepted.
Please give me a call or send me an e-mail and I would be happy to help you find a home that works for you.

Hello Tricia,
There are no farm houses in Portola Valley. A few barns maybe, but no farm houses, at least not the kind that you have in mind.
As far as specializing in old properties, I’m not sure there is an agent out there that does that. Once we know the exact type of property you’re looking for in terms of acreage, architecture, square footage, and price, we can help you find it.
Check us out when you get ready to buy. We are the premier full service discount real estate brokerage on the Peninsula. If we represent you on the purchase of a home we’ll rebate up to 1% of the purchase at close of escrow. We are the new model for residential real estate, “catch the wave”.
Regards,
Jim

Hello Heather,
All of San Carlos is great. As you mentioned the east side is a little more industrial but the neighborhood is still desirable. There are a couple new listings in that neighborhood, one on Hall and the other on Inverness. If you’re going to stay in the property long term then the value should keep up with other values in San Carlos as the market comes back. The west side may increase at a faster pace but “a rising tide lifts all boats” as they say.

Finding 100% financing may be possible but it’s probably not a good idea. The interest rate you’re going to pay will be higher and the risks are much greater with no equity. Try the old fashion way. Get a loan from your parents, grand parents, or rich aunt. Some employers also provide attractive loans for down payments to their employees. Probably not the answer you wanted to hear but you’ll be better off in the long run.

Dave,
A 3/2 in Laurie Meadows should sell between $800K and a million. Active listing, as far as comps, don’t really mean much until they’ve sold and closed escrow. Price should be based on comps, recently sold homes of similar size. Laurie Meadows is nice the only issue there can be freeway noise depending on where the house is located. The interior homes away from the freeway are the most desirable.
Check out NetEquity when you’re ready to buy. We’re the only full service discount real estate brokerage on the Peninsula. If we represent a buyer, we’ll rebate a portion of our commission at close of escrow. We’ve saved our clients thousands of dollars.
