Working with buyers and sellers in the Tri-Valley area since 1989….
Real estate has evolved so much since we started in the industry! Much has changed - like the amazing technology and the styles of homes…yet so much remains the same - like how important it is to serve our clients well. We’ve seen the highs and lows - outrageous interest rates, low inventory, multiple offers, skyrocketing prices, foreclosures and short sales….and again today the market is self-adjusting.
No matter what, real estate is a great investment for the long term, especially in this area. It’s important to look at all the facts when considering whether to sell or purchase. We are happy to recommend lenders, inspectors and contractors that have proven to be fair and ethical in their business practices. We enjoy what we do….and we count on true professionals to complement our team - we know they’ll get the job done right.
Since 1989, we have specialized in residential and investment real estate in the Tri-Valley area (Pleasanton, Sunol, Danville, San Ramon, Livermore, Dublin, Alamo and surrounding areas). Our real estate career affords us a great deal of diversity in our client base - from first time buyers to empty nesters to move-up buyers, investors and all clients in between. People always have to move - whether for a job transfer; to a larger home; and often because of a major life change - and we are here to facilitate these transactions on our clients’ behalf - with discretion, experience, professionalism, integrity and enthusiasm. We love this community and chose to raise our family here because of the excellent schools and myriad of opportunities available. Our roots have grown here for over twenty years….it really is a great place to live and work.
New financing, housing and investment trends are developing in today’s rapidly changing market. And speaking of investing…if you’ve been considering taking the plunge into the rental and investment property market, now is a great time to take advantage of fantastic interest rates as well as considerable inventory to choose from. Give us a call…we can go over the numbers; answer your questions, and help you get on your way to becoming a landlord.
If you are making a move in the Tri-Valley area (Pleasanton, Dublin, Sunol, San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, or Livermore), we can help. Give us a call or drop us an e-mail…and by the way, references gladly provided!
