Many real estate agents will recommend that a seller obtain inspections on their home prior to listing the home for sale.  "Why should I get an inspection? Once we know what needs to be repaired we will have to fix it."  Well, that is one way to look at it. There are other things to think about.  First, knowing the repairs ahead of time and completing them, places your home in the best possible position to earn top dollar.  Well maintained homes are more likely to receive the higher price compared to a home where maintenance has been avoided. Second, If you as the seller accepted a low offer and then have to negotiate repairs mid-stream it can be more costly and discouraging.  If you, as the buyer offered a high price and then find out mid-stream the seller does not want to negotiate th...

Before I go too far, let me say that I am not a mortgage professional and that I always recommend buyers talk to a mortgage professional to decide which loan product is best for them.  I write this post because I believe there are many nay-sayers telling buyers there are no loans for them.  They also tell buyers that the only loans available require 20% down and credit scores off the charts.  That is simply not true. Prior to 2008, FHA loans were very rare in San Jose and the general Bay Area because the maximum loan limit the government would secure was $417,000.  This was the beginning of the exotic loan product season.  For those that did not have 20% or were purchasing a home that cost more than $417,000, interest only, no down payment loan products were created.  It was the afforda...

Lower end single family home or duplex is just on fire. I have seen all most all the single family homes under $225,000 in San Jose downtown area. I have wrote 3 offers for my dear buyer all cash offer. We were out bid by other offers every time. There are 3 to 7 offers each time. Last home we offered is located at South Almaden Ave in the city of San Jose.  That is a large lot for over 9000 sf corner lot. It is very close  downtown and zoned R3. This Property has approval from city planning for 4 unit townhouse project. If we look at the history of this home it was sold for $590,000 at the mid-Octoberl 2006. You may ask how the earth this home's value dropped to less then half. Yes! there are a lot good  homes on market for sale.

One of the most satisfying aspects of my real estate career is when I meet a client for coffee or lunch. The topic of real estate naturally comes up. Interestingly, it is always my clients that want to talk about the real estate market.What brings me the most joy is simply kicking back with a client and learning what's new in their life.  I genuinely care about my clients. For me, real estate is about building life-long relationships. I truly enjoy the people I serve long after their transaction closes. I recently took a client for coffee. When we returned to his home I decided to capture the beautiful views from his Silver Creek Valley 95138 home.  The home is in the Bel Aire Luxury Estates outside of the nearby Silver Creek Valley Country Club gated community.It all starts with buying...
