About Me
I am a San Mateo County native. I love it here.
San Mateo is tremendous! Ask me about living in Montara, Half Moon Bay, Woodside and Pescadero (and in between). These are my areas - the places I have lived. What are you looking for? If you want property for your horses by all means call me.

If you want to talk about finding a home or selling some property in San Mateo County I'll be happy to speak with you.

28 years on the coast.
Many years served on the local school board, volunteering for non-profits, coaching little league and equestrian sports.
Surfing and living the good live with friends and family. Montara to Pescadero and beyond!

My two cents - get a piece of it as soon as you can - as he said, no matter what - they're not making any more of it.

Would you pay extra for an ocean view in Pacifica?

Kelly McKnight answered:
Rob -There would be a significant difference as you indicate from person to person... but there would be a wide range on the upside - a view is valuable - being next to open space is too - but then again it might not be be for someone else.... somewhat vision impaired maybe, it all depends on if you are buying it or selling... how you present it and how it is received..
It could be worth a million dollars and it could be worthless.
What would it be for you is the question?
Get comps. Use a good objective person to help you avoid overlooking the obvious,

My advice - if you are seeking - use a strong negotiator when you make a move and come at it from that side of the table... it is worthless or it is worth a million bucks.

I love a good view! Don't you? - Wed May 7 2008, 22:22

Dhaba,
What a nice goal to have a house on the ocean in San Mateo!
You might be better off finding a property with something on it already - building out on the ocean will be difficult at best. Be prepared for hoop jumping. It will be a long project if it doesn't already have a permitted structure to work with - it could be long even then.
I've been out here a long time and would be happy to discuss your interest in coastal real estate.
There is some acreage available. We'd need to discuss your needs and desires and try to find a match.
If you'd like some local help please get in touch.
The San Mateo coast is a fabulous place to settle. It's a great place for a second home or however you can get it! It's a marvelous location. - Mon Apr 21 2008, 14:19
Specialties
Horse property is an area of expertise.
It's always a better home if there's a barn!
From my experience with horses I can see the possibilities and share my knowledge to make it a workable horse property or not.

Land stewardship is also important to me - I go as green as I can.
So solar energy and living off the grid excite me and I am getting more and more familiar with that. I see these things as opportunities not problems.

This is an ideal area to be using more solar energy, more wind power. I hope to influence greater use of alternative energies and the use of best green building practices on all the properties I touch.

I tour with a low carbon footprint - you can too. If you like, I can show you some ways to do that.

When we go out looking at properties we go driving on recycled vegi oil and domestically produced canola oil based biodiesel...

I have a fax and email and a phone - give us a call and... I'll always appreciate your referrals.
