San Diego Real Estate Investing is in full swing now with this killer Clairemont house flip. We are deep into this project and really just now starting to put it back together. The front yard demo was massive, we hauled out 4 dumpsters of demo for this fix and flip and then 2 days with the Bobcat to break out the multiple layers of old concrete patios and finally hauled it off in a dump truck. The front yard is finally back to a clean slate to work with.
The master bathroom changes are all done and we are ready to patch the drywall back up. The shower is 7 feet wide with his and hers shower heads. It’s going to be really cool, just wait to see what tile we have picked out. You will notice that we have a Hot Mop Tar shower pan, we use the best San Diego contractor available so we get no leaks. Some of the house flippers do not do this but I would never settle for anything less.
I wanted to take advantage of the expansive canyon views so we sprung for a Folding Patio Door. There are several manufacturers of these such as La Cantina and Nanawall, but we opted for a local company right here in Oceanside called Panoramic Doors. They work with other San Diego real estate investors. It’s a 10 foot wide opening consisting of 3 movable panels that completely open up and lay to the side, providing a seamless indoor/outdoor transition for the awesome San Diego climate.
The obvious choice would have been regular French doors that swing out, this is a just way nicer so I think it was a good investment into the house. The backyard is going to get a new patio, some Xeriscape and a gas fire pit. This will be a really good house for entertaining. Stay tuned, we should start patching it all back up soon and moving towards paint, kitchen and tile jobs next.

This Santee project comes to a bittersweet end. The Santee real estate market is as hot as the weather here. It was 8 long weeks of renovation, we were hit with multiple rain delays, material mis-orders, and unexpected mishaps but we finally brought her over the finish line and it’s now active on the market and for sale, ready for a new family. The list price is $549,000 and its listed for sale at MLS#170009540. The previous owners of this santee real estate sold this house direct to us As-Is and paid No Realtor Commissions or Closing Costs. We make it easy to Sell a San Diego House!
This project got a new roof, stucco, windows, doors, complete paint, new kitchen, baths, flooring and landscaping. Santee Real estate median price is $545,000.
The kitchen came out really nice. We used the Grey Shaker cabinets again but this time with Oil Rubbed Bronze hardware. The Quartz countertops and zero-radius sink gave it a contemporary feel. My favorite is the reclaimed wood look kitchen floor tile.
The high ceilings in the living room provide for a real refreshing feeling and the light cascades in from all angles with abundant windows bringing in the view to surrounding mountains.
I continued the Grey Shaker cabinets in Santee into the bathroom as well. If you guys are painting your home in brown tones you are really behind the curve. Grey is the New Beige in Home Design and real estate right now and is really On Trend.
Our new Chula Vista remodeled home is done! We finished and sold it over the holidays. I am really happy with the way it came out, we did a complete cosmetic rehab and opened the floor plan up. The original hardwood floors were refinished instead of putting down laminate like most guys do. This project got a new kitchen, 2 new baths, paint in and out, new windows and some landscaping.
The seller contacted us after inheriting the property, it was a great family home with lots of memories. As you remember, I paid Cash for this house from the executor of the estate “Trustee” and of course we always buy them As-Is. We closed on their optimal date after giving them time to do an Estate Sale, it was a win-win for everyone. It is a great house in the popular Chula Vista neighborhood, just was very outdated and in need of a remodel.
I really like the way it came out with the island kitchen and open floorplan. We Buy Houses in San Diego County if you are thinking of selling!

These homes were built in the late 50’s for the troops coming home after the war and it was named after the builders wife, Claire. This house we bought “As-Is” and completely remodeled it for resale.

It sold in the first weekend with multiple offers over asking price! If you want to Sell Your San Diego House in Clairemont please call us!
