This question just came through to my email…and what a great one. Yes, the agents of PopCasa Realty help home buyers find homes throughout the Bay Area. From Livermore to Saratoga, and all point in between, our agents service the entire Bay Area. The next question you might ask is how are you able to do this proficiently? Let’s go into a little more detail on that one.

1. PopCasa has access to all of the local boards in the Bay Area. Thus, we have access to all of the listings in the Bay Area. The information presented by the different boards is pretty much the same. What’s not the same is the experience level of the agents looking at this information and how they interpret it. Our agents have the experience to view this information in detail and gain insight on trends that they in turn use to our client’s benefit.
2. Since we have very experienced agents, our company as a whole is very knowledge about most neighborhoods. Now let’s be honest, no one can know everything there is about every neighborhood. That’s why we take the time to get to know our clients. Specifically, when it comes to the home search, we learn what is important to the people we help find homes for. That way when we investigate a neighborhood, we know what to look for. Also, when our home buyers tell us they want to look in a specific city or neighborhood, we take the time to become experts

So, what’s the bottom line of this post. As a home buyer you can be assured that a PopCasa Agent can assist you with your home search throughout the entire Bay Area. Our agents have the experience needed to help you make informed home buying decisions.

Let me just start off by saying that I love tech, and will talk to anyone about tech if given the chance. So when I saw that Electronic House had posted their 2008 Home of the Year Awards, everyone in the office saw me do my happy dance. The magazine’s Gold winning Home of the Year is a showcase on using home tech to fuel a modern day “Green” home. The magazine’s awards are also broken down into other categories such as “Best Outdoor Space”, “Best Kitchen”, and others.

Okay, so what can we get out of these awards other than pretty much is possible in your home as long as you have the money to do it? Granted the majority of home owners probably can’t afford to have tech havens such as these, but, we can use these homes as inspiration for our own scaled-down versions. Electronic House does a good job of providing equipment lists for the homes featured. You may not be into home automation, but are looking for an in-house music storage system. Take a look at these wonderful tech homes and not only get inspired, but also informed on what is possible. I wonder if my wife will let me get the video wall for our bedroom?
