I get a kick out of people who think they 203k can't be used in their neighborhood. The loan limits have increased substantially over the years but there are 203k type loans that go up to $3 Million today. That means you can do renovation or remodeling to cover most projects in your area. It is an interesting design.Landscaping is next.Some interesting features include receptacles that you push to expose the outlet, and when you do it has four outlets to use.This project was one of my all time favorite projects. Whether you are buying or just want to remodel or update your existing home, we have your back. We have been consulting in San Mateo, CA for over twenty years now and are ready willing and able to help get your project across the finish line.           downtown 2-4-2021

Recently I listed a beautiful home for sale at 40 Arroyo View Circle in Belmont, CaliforniaAfter being shown only 1 afternoon, an offer was received. By the next day negotiations were complete and there was a pending sale. The 30-day escrow period proceeded smoothly, and the sale was finalized yesterday.The buyers are ecstatic, and the sellers are ready to take the next step -- finding their replacement home and saying good-bye to the temporary rental. Within an hour of getting confirmation that the sale had recorded, I got the message from my sellers, "let's keep the momentum up."Buying a home in Silicon Valley is not an easy task, especially in certain price ranges in towns like Belmont or San Carlos. We are now investigating 3 potential properties. Disclosure packets have been downlo...

Two days ago I posted "Your Next Home Awaits in the Hills of Belmont, CA"Showings, by appointment only as required at this time, began on Sunday afternoon. By Sunday evening we had received a purchase offer, which was negotiated and accepted by the sellers on Monday evening.Two intense days = happy sellers, happy buyers, and two happy, tired agents.40 Arroyo View Circle is no longer being shown and escrow set to close the latter part of July.Homeowners, if you are wondering whether this is a good time to sell (a question I hear a lot,) take heart and give me a call. Each property is unique; each seller's needs are unique, and the market is different for various segments and locations. Finding the right approach is key. Together we can find it.

Now and then you hear about a 203k loan that went wrong. I'm not going to sugar coat anything here but most of those could have gone right had they been working with a "TEAM" of experts who know what they are doing. A team is like a well tuned engine.You don't have to be an expert if you work with experts. If you haven't done a 203k before then look for a team that in place who has closed some. If you are a lender looking to do your first 203k call a consultant and use a team they suggest. If you are a Realtor and can't find a lender, call a consultant and get a recommendation. Call any other member of a team and let them help you put YOUR team together. You will gain experience from seasoned pros... NEVER look for 'newbies' for your entire team. It just doesn't fly.Ricardo Ramos at Pla...

Belmont, California is a sought after community in San Mateo County. San Francisco is a short drive to the north, the Silicon Valley an equally short distance to the south, and the Pacific ocean is just minutes away. Excellent schools, a great climate and the beauty of the hills all combine to make Belmont a highly-desired community in which to live.Houses are in short supply, making it imperative that buyers have an Realtor® to represent their interests, and be prepared to move quickly when a property becomes available. Today, there are only 7 homes listed for sale on our Multiple Listing Service. These range in price from $1,199,000 to $2,268,000, with a median price of $1,498,000.Take a look at the chart below for historical info for 2014 and 2015.

Menlo Park, Redwood City, Palo Alto, East Palo Alto or anywhere else in the country for that matter.There are serveral options for your next renovation project or remodel project. FHA - The FHA 203k loan has been around since 1961 and stil is one of the best options for the masses. It is the easiest loan to qualify your buyers, recent bankruptcy can be explained in many cases, low down payment of 3.5% on a purchase, sometimes nothing down on a refinance if there is equity.  Work in progress is okay.This loan program is good for any single family home [Loan amounts up to $625,500] or 2-4 small income units [Loan amounts up to $1,202,925 for a 4 unit property]. I had a client call last week about 4 houses on one lot. Yes, that would be considered 4 units for the purposes of this loan prog...
