You know the song, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”? Well, there is something to that. As the current year is coming to a close and as Christmas and other faith-focused holidays approach, many of us pause to give thanks, be joyful, pray for peace and feel hopeful about the new year to come.
If you look around, you’ll notice this Spirit of Giving is around you everywhere, in many forms. But why can’t it be this way everyday, every year? I think it can. It just takes intention and a little effort. Here’s what we’re doing and how you can help. As we look forward to the holidays with anticipation, some homeowners are less than hopeful because they feel trapped. They desperately need to exit their current place and give themselves a big Christmas Gift - a NEW place to call home.
That’s where we come in. We’re working hard to make sure everyone has a safe and comfortable place to live, especially during the holidays. We&rs; ...

Some Highlights
If you’re torn between renting or buying, don’t forget to factor in the wealth-building power of homeownership.
Unlike renters, homeowners gain equity as they pay their mortgage and as home values rise. That’s why, on average, a homeowner’s net worth is nearly 40x higher than a renter’s.
Let’s connect if you want to learn more about the financial benefits of homeownership or the programs that can help make buying possible.

November brings with it a heartfelt opportunity to say ‘Thank You’ for being a valuable part of our business. As we prepare for the holiday season, plan Thanksgiving get-togethers and reflect on the year, it’s easy to become so wrapped up in planning fun, joyful events for all, that we lose sight of gratitude. Remember, Gratitude is an Attitude. The magic of Thanksgiving comes from holding that in our hearts and minds.
Unfortunately, there are many homeowners who are desperate to exit their current home and actually loathe this time of year, as it adds to the frustration of not being settled for the holidays. You may know someone or a family that fits this description. Imagine the relief they would feel knowing they could finally move into their dream home before the holidays arrive!
Here is where you and I can HELP! By sharing our expertise and resources, we can make a real difference in the lives of these homeowners. We can be the ones to help them achieve their; ...

October is often seen as a month filled with spookiness and mystique, especially with the approach of Halloween. As ghosts, goblins, and eerie decorations come to life, there’s an undeniable excitement in the air. According to USA Today, adults actually spend more on themselves to celebrate Halloween than on any other holiday throughout the year. This trend reveals how eager both kids and adults are to immerse themselves in the festivities, whether it’s accompanying children while trick-or-treating or attending themed parties filled with costumes and treats.
However, amidst the fun, there is a group that experiences a different kind of fright. Many homeowners and homebuyers find themselves genuinely scared about the complexities of navigating the real estate market. The fear of how to transition from their current homes to new ones can be daunting, making the process feel like a scary trick rather than a treat. While Halloween brings playful scares, the challenges of b; ...

We all know that it has been one of the hottest summers on record. While you may want to avoid the heat outside, this summer is a great time to take advantage of the hot market in Real Estate. The current market trends here in the East Bay continue to create opportunities for both sellers and buyers alike. Sellers have been cashing in, and buyers, with the advent of remote working or new jobs, have been able to escape city life for more room and home ownership in the suburbs.
So, what’s the market like right now? Some areas are cooling due to current interest rates, some areas are holding steady, and others continue to see some price growth, even with industry experts predicting no rate declines by year’s end.
What does that mean for you? It’s a great time to sell and buy because home prices in our area will continue to steadily rise over the long term, just not at the unprecedented rate of the past 3 years. Know that the rate of price increases of the last fe; ...
