"I know the East Palo Alto market and its unique rhythm. I regularly see Mid-century Ranch homes dealing with Cast Iron Pipes, foundation issues, or the need for significant updates. Unlike Compass, I buy as-is, meaning you avoid costly repairs, endless showings, and can save yourself from approximately $69,000 in realtor fees and closing costs. My goal is a transparent, fast, and fair transaction that prioritizes your needs."
Dealing with foundation issues, outdated electrical, or corroded Cast Iron Pipes can be a financial drain. We buy as-is.
California's minimum 111 days foreclosure timeline is daunting. Act fast to protect your equity and avoid public sale.
Navigating East Palo Alto's Density & ADU Permitting Restrictions or other code violations can be a complex nightmare. We take care of it.
