Could Prop 19 affect your family's long-term plans? 🏡

For many California homeowners, the answer is yes.

Before Prop 19, parents could pass a home to their children and preserve the property's existing tax basis. Today, inherited properties may be reassessed at current market value unless specific requirements are met, potentially resulting in a significant increase in annual property taxes.

We're seeing this impact how families across the Peninsula think about estate planning, property transfers, and long-term ownership strategies.

If your family owns property and hasn't revisited its estate plan recently, now may be the time to start the conversation.

The homes everyone wants aren’t always the ones you see online. 🔑

In today’s market, many of the most desirable properties are selling before they ever hit Zillow or Redfin. In fact, a significant portion of homes in the $3M–$6M range are changing hands off-market.

Through years of building relationships and cultivating a deep local network, I consistently source off-market opportunities and help clients gain access to homes before they reach the broader market. To date, I’ve successfully closed over $100M in off-market transactions for buyers, sellers, and investors.

If you're looking for an edge in your home search, off-market opportunities can make all the difference.
