San Mateo County Market Update January 2025

768 Gull Avenue, Foster City
4 Beds | 2 Baths | 1,760 SQFT | 5,472 LOT
Sold at $2,025,000 | 119% of the Asking Price | Sold in Just 7 Days

My client needed to sell quickly to move out-of-state and reunite with her family. With her timeline in mind, I focused on creating a standout listing. From preparing the home to attract competitive offers to pricing it strategically, we secured a sales price that exceeded expectations—119% of the asking price. The result not only provided financial peace of mind but also made her transition seamless and stress-free.

3 Beds | 2 Baths | 1,340 SQFT | 5,320 LOT
Sold at $2,125,000 | $500K Over Asking | Sold in Just 7 Days

Sometimes, all it takes is one offer—and the right strategy. Listed at $1,748,000, this home generated a lot of interest, but only a single buyer brought an offer forward. Through my proven negotiation, we secured a final offer at $2,125,000—an incredible $500,000 above asking. For these sellers, the stakes were high: they needed the proceeds for their retirement. This sale not only achieved their financial goal but gave them the means to start their next chapter.

4 Beds | 4 Baths | 2,470 SQFT | 7,590 LOT
Sold at $2,400,000 | Off-Market Sale

This property came to me after having previously been on the market without success. I immediately saw its potential and put my sign on the lawn even before the planned remodels were started. To my surprise, the sign attracted serious attention, and we received a strong offer before the home even officially came to market. This sale is a perfect example of how brand visibility and local expertise can turn a challenging situation into a winning result.

Buying Success: Finding Dream Homes

Helping buyers find the perfect home in a competitive market takes patience, market expertise, and strong relationships. Here's a few stories that highlights the difference these qualities can make:

371 Menhaden Court, Foster City
3 Beds | 2 Baths | 1,890 SQFT | 5,225 LOT

My buyers had been searching for a long time, looking for a specific type of home that met both their needs and their budget. When a property finally came on the market that matched their criteria, the competition was fierce. Fortunately, my reputation in the market made a difference—the listing agent wanted to work with me. Coupled with my knowledge of the area and strategic approach, I was able to secure the home for my clients, turning their dream into reality.

1111 Metcalf Road, San Jose
31,799 Lot SQFT

I first helped this client purchase his very first home, and when he was ready for his second real estate investment, he had a big vision: buying vacant land to build his dream home. After a thorough search, we found the perfect location. Using my negotiation skills, I was able to secure the land at a great price, under asking. My client was ecstatic and is already hard at work designing and building his masterpiece.
