JUST LISTED: my childhood home. 🏚️✨

And let me just say: it has gone from “full of memories” to “full renovation opportunity.” 😅 If these walls could talk, they’d probably ask for new plumbing, updated electrical, and a full cosmetic refresh.

This is not your turn-key dream home. This is your:

🛠 Investor special
🚧 Contractor’s challenge
⚠ HGTV audition tape

But for the right buyer with vision, cash, courage, and maybe a strong tetanus game, the opportunity is absolutely there. The flexible floorplan, large lot, and unpermitted ADU offer lots of potential upside.

If you’ve been looking for a freeway close property, walkable to the popular Foothill restaurant, and with a very loose relationship with modern updates, let’s talk.

Some homes are just special and this is certainly one of them. My client wanted a yard perfect for a koi 🐟 pond. Instead, we found a home that already has the most beautiful self-sustaining koi pond!

Even better was being able to secure this architectural gem for my client the moment it came on the market, avoiding what would undoubtedly have been a multiple offer competition.

Looking to make a move? Let’s chat.

🎉🎉🎉 SOLD 🎉🎉🎉

I'm not sure I've ever been happier to close a sale. To say this one was a doozy would be an understatement.

After one failed escrow (the buyer underestimated the costs of repairs), several break-ins (it's always fun to find people doing drugs in your vacant listings), and countless low-ball investor offers, we finally got this home sold!

Congrats to my lovely clients. They put so much thought and effort into doing their very best for their family. You both deserve a week at the spa after this!

✨ In Escrow ✨

This diamond in the rough is under contract with a family who plans to use an FHA 203k loan to restore this home and bring out its hidden potential.

Never heard of a 203k loan? It allows you to buy a fixer-upper and borrow based on the property's estimated value after renovations are completed. It can be a great tool for buyers that aren't afraid of doing a little work ⚒️ to build some sweat equity.

Want to explore buying a home but not sure where to start? Reach out and I'm happy to help you explore all the options.
