10 Reasons to buy a home in San Bruno
October 28, 2008 · · 3 Comments

I wrote something like this before but it’s been awhile! I am partial to San Bruno because I live here and my office is here as well, Prudential California Realty, San Bruno. My kids go to school within walking distance from our house, my office is only 8 blocks away, the corner store is 4 blocks away, and if we need to go San Francisco, it’s only 10 minutes away! So that would be the number one reason to buy a house in San Bruno because a home near San Francisco is desirable because a lot of people work there and don’t want a long commute, so…. Read more

More than just a picnic in San Bruno! It’s a family affair!
October 1, 2008 · · Comment here

Boing! Boing! Boing! On Sept. 27, 2008 our office at Prudential California Realty- San Bruno had its annual company picnic, bounce house and all! Our agents brought their favorite dishes, pot luck style while the office supplied the hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks. It was a HOT day in San Bruno border-lining 90 degrees! Our favorite title companies supplied the kids with a jumping castle with a slide, piñata, and other goodies! There was a committee that put this all together and they did the greatest job, planning, shopping and preparing!

Our office family, together with our real families, were playing and eating together! It was a great atmosphere! The day was an absolute blast!

Bay Area real estate “shake up”!
August 30, 2008 · · Comment here

Can you shake it up anymore in the East Bay right now? What I mean is, I have been showing property to different sets of clients in Pittsburg, Antioch and Hayward and all the homes have 10-20 offers on them! What the heck is going on?? I thought this was a buyer’s market!

Well, what we have observed is the real estate market in those areas have reached rock bottom! Read more

10 Reasons you should NOT buy a house in 2008!
August 25, 2008 · · Comment here

1.  You don’t feel like taking advantage of GREAT opportunities while prices have stabilized.

2.  You enjoy renting over owning your own home.

3.  You believe in buying HIGH and selling LOW rather than what experts suggest which is buy low and sell high. Duh!

4.  Your  accountant told you that you have enough tax write offs.

5.  You don’t believe you can build equity if you buy at the bottom of the market. Read more

Last month I attended the Inman Real Estate Conference at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. It was so cool because I got to listen to different panels of experts talk about the state of the real estate market, new and improved real estate technology, and a lot about blogging and websites.

Can you really buy a house at the San Mateo County Fair?
August 12, 2008 · · Comment here

The San Mateo County Fair runs from Aug. 8th- Aug. 17. Our office has a booth and we have been really busy answering questions about  home prices, loans, REO’s, short sales and all kinds of stuff! Its a casual environment not like the tidy, quiet and clean office we’re accustomed to. Its fun to chat with people at the fair because the atmosphere is not so “closed in”. We have a binder of homes for sale that fair goers can flip through and get a good idea of what homes are selling for in their favorite neighborhoods. Come join us at the fair! We’ll even sign you up to win an iPod nano!

If you haven’t been to San Bruno’s August concerts in San Bruno Park, then you don’t know what you’re missing! This is a great opportunity to meet San Bruno people, see friend’s from school or the neighborhood, and relax.

 


Children are invited. Families and friends bring dinner or snacks. We lay out big blankets to sit on and enjoy the night away. The weather is always pleasant until the sun goes down so it’s best to bring along some sweatshirts!
