The puppies are super alert they get that from their Australian Cattle Dog side, known to be Cautious, Energetic, Obedient, Loyal, Protective, and Brave! They have the coat, color and chest of their American Bulldog side. Too cute to bare❤️ No need to call, no appointment is necessary and there is no pre-application process just stop by to say hello and meet the pups.

Taking in homeless pets and reuniting them with their families or new homes.

AMAZING ADU DESIGN, SIMPLE, LIVABLE, AFFORDABLE…
These ADU designs are either prefab builds or site-builds most (not all) of their price structures are all inclusive. Meaning the pricing includes: The building, Foundation, Utility connections, Deck, Architecture blueprints, Engineering blueprints, Contractor coordination, City coordination, Permit costs.
California regulators see accessory dwelling units as a possible answer to the housing crisis in California; (a win-win) potential income opportunity for current homeowners while providing an affordable place to live for renters.
In 2019 bills were signed into law making ADUs more accessible. These bills supersed exsisting red tape and expedite the entire build to rent process for ADUs added to single-family and multi-family homes.
Some of the bills signed into law in 2019 allow;
-the maximum size can not exceed 850 square feet for a one-bedroom ADU or 1,000 square feet for more than one bedroom
-you do not have to be living in the primary residence in order to build an ADU
-landlords can place ADU’s on rental properties
-those living in HOA communities with strict CC&R’s (2019 laws supersed all restrictions) and ADU’s can be built.
-aside from front setbacks, ADU’s may be built with 4’ setbacks from the back and side yards
Note: You must do your own research prior to embarking on building an ADU on your property
Properties with ADU’s are highly sought after especially after the pandemic, they’re excellent home office spaces for those working remote or gyms/workout rooms or craft rooms…the uses are endless.
Call with inquiries on properties that are well suited for adding ADU’s or have existing ADU’s…650.814.8676

SHOULD YOU PREPARE THE HOME BEFORE SELLING?…for homeowners who’d like to maximize their return in this Seller’s market and believe they have to "fix" everything that may not be —as-it-was— with the house…Well, that's exactly what you shouldn't do!

As a real estate expert my recommendation is NOT to fix a thing until you've met with a trusted Realtor. Many times homeowners will budget and exert valuable time and effort in hopes of big returns only to be disappointed. An experienced Realtor will know what areas need improvement, also to what extent in order to satisfy current-buyer expectations. Many times editing existing furniture and decluttering is all that's needed.

However, if your home would gain considerable value by updating in areas that would have the highest return on investment, then my recommendation is RealVitalize. This is an added service I offer my clients (as a broker with CB) in order to present their home in the most favorable light in today's market.

RealVitalize lets you make the needed improvements and repairs using local tradesmen to prep your home for sale (fully supervised by CB project coordinators). I, backed by my brokerage, Coldwell Banker pay the upfront costs and you don't pay back the funds until close of Escrow, —no hidden fees, charges or markups. The results are remarkable – homes using this program sell 25% faster and in this market, usually higher-than-ask.

OPEN HOUSE SAT & SUN 1-4pm…Great country home providing vistas of California’s famous rolling hills from each window. Centrally located close proximity to good schools, downtown, shops, amenities, hiking trails, golf and Morgan Hill vineyards.
The perfect home for a multi-generational family, or a family wanting space and less congestion. Excellent horse property (they’re so rare to find these days) in it’s current form, or transform the stables into a large office, or craft studio.
The 3.73 acre grounds are flat and let your imagination takeover with all the possibilities there…. A vineyard, raised-bed vegetable & herb garden…become a gentleman farmer and keep bees or add a sports court…
Morgan Hill is a wonderful, friendly community—a great place to raise a family— within close proximity to the peninsula, Silicon Valley, Carmel…
Even though the home prices experienced a 30.7% increase in the past 12 months (the highest in the Bay Area with projections anticipating a further climb)…Morgan Hill continues to be an excellent purchasing opportunity, offering great value.
I’m delighted to welcome you to stop by this weekend either Sat and/or Sun between 1-4pm. I’ll be there to host & answer questions as you tour this great country home.

LOVE WALL ART...3D art can draw your eye and cast interesting shadows, added texture, adorn odd shaped walls and light weight

Neutral colors include black, white, gray, and sometimes brown and beige. Black is the most striking of the neutrals, as the darkest and most color-absorptive hue there is. It doesn’t dominate, if you notice the use of black in the posts... the black doesn’t pop, what pops in each space is the non-black or any texture or form that it’s given. The use of neutrals provide an ideal decorating foundation or background regardless the design style. Using black adds calmness and sophistication to a space; it works especially well with modern or eclectic interiors. Black is used in exteriors as well...we’re seeing more of it in garden landscape as well as hardscape, -I’ll leave that for another post

ADU’s....In the current Real Estate market are a hot commodity,

-for elderly family members to live with you yet have their own space
-“she shed” or hobby space
-rented out to off-set mortgage expenses
