Is Paperless The Way To Go? A Funny Example.

I love technology and use it in any way to help me in real estate. Whether it be to better communicate with my clients or make the offer process easier or just to track homes and what is on the market. Most people around the office know me as the tech guy as I try to help the technically challenged agents as it can be a daunting experience for agents who just haven’t used technology in their business.

One of the agents who is sometimes technically challenged sent me this funny little video about our ongoing technology vs paper debate. I think you will get a kick out of it, it’s very short so take a look.

The funny video.

Open House: Old Palo Alto Charming Home

Come visit my open house this weekend at 580 Washington Avenue in Old Palo Alto. I’ll be there Saturday from 1:30-4:30 and Sunday from 1:30-4:40pm.

Home is 2,000 sf, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and located on a cul-de-sac. Great Palo Alto schools and walking distance to shops and restaurants. The house is charming with updated kitchen and bathrooms plus a nice outdoor area for barbequing and entertaining. Asking price is $2,795,000.

Palo Alto real estate has been on a tear lately and prices have been ramping up due to the lack of inventory combined with lots of buyers who want to be in Palo Alto. There are only 27 homes on the market in all of Palo Alto, but more specifically, there are only 7 in the 2-3 million dollar range and only 3 homes at any price in Old Palo Alto.

Stop by to say hello and sign up for my off market list of available homes in the area.

President Obama in Atherton

President Obama and the throngs of secret service will be here Thursday as the President visits our town of Atherton. He will start with a brunch at the home of Liz Simons and Mark Heising and then job on over to the home of Marcia and John Goldman for a lunch. Both stops are obviously to raise money for the democratic party so there will be Atherton’s finest paying top dollar for a meal with the leader of the free world.

Various roads will be temporarily closed around the Alameda de las Pulgas and Valparaiso areas, so I would definitely avoid those routes around Walsh Road and the Stockbridge/Selby lane areas.

The President will see some of the top real estate this country has to offer as well as lots of construction activity. There are so many homes being built, fixed and updated that driving through many streets in Atherton and Menlo Park will surely convince the President that the economy is surging and people are working. Atherton real estate as well as the area has had a surge in prices over the past year and ranks one of the highest priced areas in the country.
