Are you on the Move . . . . . Well so am I, House hunting For a wonderful Client!!


Ahhh. . . . the joys of work,  and exploring!

I am currently House hunting For a wonderful Client, searching in San Mateo County. 

All custom properties, fab views, interesting living patterns in the   
Redwood City, Menlo Park and Emerald Hills vicinity.

All have some wonderful attributes with the Parks in the  hills to roam, from some delightful enclaves scattered about the area, notable past homes of sports aficionados  and just some wonder picturesque abodes that you can dream the dream with!

Close enough to Silicon Valley, Mountain View (the NEW happening place!!) and THE CITY.
Quiet, removed from much of the hubbub of the business world but so convenient to your needs and wants.

Looking for someone that has your interests and needs in mind, call ME.  
Happy to help and go the extra mile, to find the right property in the right place JUST FOR YOU.

Leading the way to success.....



This is worth repeating since I just completed another successful relocation of international clients to the home of their dreams!!     I love leading the way to successful endings!
I find is so rewarding/satisfying to see and hear the positive comments and the excitement clients feel once their home search has exceeded expectations.

No matter where in California your housing needs take you, I am happy to aid you in all aspects of the process.  With almost 40 years of experience, I know where to look and what to look out for!

Will be spending time in San Mateo Co. this coming month searching for a client's new home.  What a market to be working in!.

On the Move . . . . .  for my clients!

Real Estate Rising



Glad to read and experience people making positive moves in Real Estate again.
Realizing their equity positions in their homes have risen, their feelings of security in their living environment has stabilized and the ability to sleep at night!!
There are still many that are wanting to enter or re-enter that magical 'Golden Arch' of home ownership though.  It's tougher, more restrictive and the prices have climbed/clawed back in many, many desirable markets.

Since I work in these areas and keep up with the activity, with my client base so widespread over all these decades, I experience first hand what is going on in our state.

Making sure you prepare yourself in the right way, first, is key.

1. Verified cured down payment money
2. Loan pre-qualification done by reputable lenders
3. High credit ranking

Just recently, I relocated another family from Norway, to the beautiful Monterey area.  They will be arriving mid May, to their new home, to start the latest chapter in their lives.
I love working with international families.  I have learned much about the banking trade and really enjoy helping those, that otherwise, would be mystified by the methods and processes we use to protect our clients.

Whether you are move across town, from the other side of the country  or  from around the world, I'm will do the BEST in taking care of your professional business needs.

An Honor and a Privilege


Recently I had the Honor and Privilege of  facilitating the  home purchase  of  one of our Bravest and Best in our Military,  with a VA Loan.  This is a man that served three tours in Afghanistan, being awarded two purple hearts.
These brave men and women that protect our country, our families on our soil and where they are sent, risking everything they have known.  The courage, selflessness and national pride that they represent, is humbling to be around.  The focus, patience and clarity in which every aspect of their lives is undertaken has a calming effect.   This had a thought provoking and changing effect on me, even at my age!  There should be every benefit available to these standout citizens, that know the meaning of freedom, liberty and oppression, tyranny and barbarianism.

I am so happy to have a team of experts on all the aspects of VA Loans that had been exceptional in guiding the entire process from writing the initial contract in a clean and acceptable design, to anticipating and resolving issues professionally, quickly and non-disruptive to every ones emotions ~~  this is a very emotional, stressful time.  A quick read about the VA basics is here!

Yes, VA loans are different and they take planning, more so than a conventional.  They are well worth it for both parties.  To know you have "Been There"  for that person trained to always be ready and protect us all, is a 'No Brainer'.

Remember, leave the world a better place, leave a smile on someones face and always look for the opportunity to be helpful!

Arriving at the Summit of El Capitan



Setting your goals for the year?  You don't have to Summit El Capitan.

But, it only happens, with the first step and a lot of times there are many attempts.
Knowing the right time, connecting with the right people and knowing the direction you are going, makes a big difference.
In reading Caldwell and Jorgesen's story  their determination and focus was key.

You have the same ability, no matter what your goal.

Pick the right partners to accomplish YOUR goals and if it is a Real Estate focus,  Call me!

I know how to tackle the razor thin edge of financing, to having the patience to "campout" on all the reports and documentation necessary to scale "The Wall" and complete a successful transaction.

I love this business of helping people reaching their goals.  Conquering challenges and going forward in life.  It is all a win-win, no matter how you look at it.

Make this YOUR successful year with all your goals.  I would love to be a part of that, no matter if it's Buying or Selling!
