First Time buyer? Your timing is impeccable. In the lower price ranges we are seeing price increases and a bottoming in the 650,000 + range.

We'll explain the process, including short sales and foreclosures ( REO's) and make sure you don't get burned by your friend's mortgage broker.  The new FHA loans allow 3.5% downpayments up to $729,000...as long as you can document your income and your credit is decent, you could own for less than renting. This year will be a great time to buy!

Looking for positive cash flow investment property in the East Bay? My clients are picking up great deals on foreclosures in Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Martinez and the East County... I'll handle the purchase, and get it leased for you as well!
