I Want to Buy a Single Family Home, This Class Isn’t For Me

Unless you can say to yourself that you would rather rent than buy anything but a single family home, you should consider attending. We have had several clients over the years (2 in the last 6 months) come to us at the beginning of the home buying process and say they only want to live in a single family home, but end up buying a condominium or townhome because they did not find any single family homes in neighborhoods they’d like to live for the price they were willing to pay. Not all condos have indoor hallways, thin walls and impossible to deal with Home Owner’s Associations. We always tell our clients to get all of the information upfront so you can make an informed decision. And…if condo living still isn’t for you, we promise we won’t make you buy one!

When? Thurs. Jan. 21st, 2010 at 7pm

Guide to Buying Townhomes and Condos in San Mateo will be presented on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 from 7-9pm at 1700 S El Camino Real in San Mateo.
