san jose: Keys Given to Buyers This Weekend
- 10/10/10 05:08 PM
Yesterday was the morning for a happy task -- giving the keys to buyers of a lovely home. It was an especially sweet task since the escrow period had been fraught with tension, and the seller wasn't able to close or vacate on time. But, it's done and the buyers have moved in!
This home in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, California was listed on August 16 and sold 24 days later to my clients, who are relocating here from across the country. It had been beautifully upgraded, with remodeled kitchen and baths, surround sound in the … (18 comments)

san jose: Home Prices in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara
- 09/19/10 12:10 AM
Home prices expected to rise in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metropolitan area.CNNMoney.com published an interesting article entitled California housing prices on the rebound. The article talked about the San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City areas. It gives an opinion of why home prices in that area are rising, and gives encouragement to other areas of the country. Their comments mirror what I've seen in the part of San Mateo County where I work.
The Real Estate Forecast Calculator can be used for other parts of the country, like the Silicon Valley towns in which I work, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Palo Alto, Santa … (12 comments)

san jose: Realtors Celebrating: Today's "Business Buddy" meeting

While working all of Silicon Valley, Sandra specializes in the towns of Sunnyvale and Mountain View, representing tenants, landlords, buyers and sellers.

san jose: Thanksgiving morning, San Jose, CA
- 11/27/09 01:12 AM
Thanksgiving Day -- family, food, fun. Time to reflect on our bounties. Time to share with others.
Participating in the 5th annual Silicon Valley Turkey Trot was a wonderful way to start the day. To date, this event has raised over $750,000 for charities, including the Santa Clara County Family Health Foundation, the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County, and Second Harvest Food Bank. 9500 participants were expected this year (our bibb numbers were 10,732 & 10,733), so the funds will increase.
How wonderful to be able to share a beautiful day, in a lovely city, in the company of happy, generous people.

san jose: A Short-Sale Success Story from Santa Clara County, CA
- 08/20/08 02:42 AM
I try to steer buyers away from short sales for the well known reason that they rarely close, but in our high-cost area, they sometimes are the only possibilities for first-time buyers. Today, my very excited and happy buyers will own a lovely home. This was very serendipitous--we happened to be in the right place at the right time--the listing agent was great, the bank had lost one sale because they took too long, and had just relisted when we came in with a strong offer. They were ready to move this time. It took less than 1 week to have our … (5 comments)
