Real Estate

Discover how advancements in solar-ready homes are revolutionizing real
estate and boosting property values.

Last year, as many as 1 in 3 sellers took their home off the market because
it wasn’t selling. If this happened to you too, you don’t need to be
embarrassed. What you need are answers. And a local real estate agent can
help with that by seeing if it was priced too high, needs some repairs, or
didn’t get the right exposure. If you still want to move, let’s connect to
come up with a new strategy. Together, we can get your house sold.

There’s one big mistake you need to avoid when you sell your house this
year: setting your price too high. It might seem like overpricing gives you
room to negotiate or could really boost your profit, but the reality is, it
usually backfires.

Acquiring a new home is an investment that requires a full inspection of
the structure’s quality. Discover the signs you are buying a home in good
condition.

It’s no secret that affordability is tough with where mortgage rates and
home prices are right now. And that may have you worried about how you’ll
be able to buy a home. But, if you don’t need a ton of space, you may find
you have more cost-effective options in an unexpected place: new home
communities.

Your home may be your biggest financial asset and investment, but once you
decide to sell, everyone will agree that it’s also more of an emotional
journey. After all, you’re not just leaving a home that you loved—you’re
ending a “love affair” with a place you’ve had for a long time and have
lots of memories tied to it. It’s where you’ve raised your family; held
countless Thanksgiving (or friendsgiving) dinners and parties, so it’s
completely normal to be sad about moving.

Perhaps the most common mistake home sellers make is pricing the house too
high because of an array of reasons: the house means so much to them,
they’re looking to buy a more expensive home or trying to pay off debt, or
they believe that interested buyers will ask for a discount anyway.

When looking for homes online, home buyers might chance upon a property
with a “contingent offer” status. This means that an offer has been made
and accepted, but the sale is still conditional while both parties work on
meeting certain criteria.

The process of selling, buying, and moving into a new home can be very
complicated and overwhelming. But on the lighter side, it is also a journey
full of fun and exciting discoveries. Part of a homeowner’s discovery and
realization is finding their ideal neighborhood, their dream backyard,
their perfect kitchen, and a wall full of snakes… Wait, what?!

For the last 6 years, my March has been filled with sparkles, sequins and
smiles. Every spring, teens from all over the Bay Area come to the San
Francisco Princess Project to get a free prom dress and accessory.
Unfortunately, just like real estate in much of the country, prom has
become unaffordable to many since the average teen spends over $1000. Last
year, we helped over 2,500 teens!
