“Sell My House” is what this long time landlord wanted to do after the tenants stopped paying rent. This week we start a new renovation in the popular Encinitas neighborhood. This is a 1970’s track house that was a rental for the past 20 years. The owner called us to sell it as-is, with some deferred maintenance. We made a cash offer and closed in a few short weeks when the tenant moved out. We love these kind of properties that are in great areas but need updating. It’s a 3/2 1,212 sf. We plan on complete cosmetic renovation with all new surfaces. It would be nice to get it done before school starts but we’ll see how things play out. Encinitas has one of the top school districts in San Diego. Stay tuned for updates. If you are wondering who buys houses or how to sell your house fast please give us a call to discuss your options. We make no-obligation offers.

3 blocks to the water! Our new project in Pacific Beach is now done and on the market for sale. This cute little original beach cottage is totally made over with new roof, windows, stucco, designer kitchen, bath, and refinished original hardwood floors. I really love the white ceramic diagonal herringbone pattern back splash. You cant beat the location and can walk to everything Pacific beach has to offer.
This would make a great vacation rental Air BnB but I am sure the neighbors wouldn’t agree. The home has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and is just under 900 square feet with a 1 car attached garage. We buy houses in San Diego! We purchased this house directly from an out of the area owner who lived in Riverside, he was actually a Century 21 agent but didn’t want to pay Realtor commissions and wanted to sell it “As-Is” and hassle-free.

Its a big remodeling week at the Clairemont project, we are getting sideways today with a new Modern Horizontal Fence made of Clear Redwood. It will be around 42″ finished height, we didn’t want to block the house from the street but rather grab this nice area close to the house and fence it in for kids to safely play. Most of the landscape will be Xeriscape but this front area will get sod on irrigation.
We completed all the backyard hardscape also, my design is a big patio right off the living room pre-plumbed with a gas line for outdoor fire pit, square stepping pads and a smaller rectangle patio off the master bedroom. No sod back here, all Xeriscape. There will be another Horizontal wood fence to add some protection from the canyon critters but only 36″ high so as not to take away from the expansive views.
The interior paint is now cpmplete. We went with Behr Dolphin Fin Grey for the walls and Sherwin Williams Snowbound for the trims. My new painter kicked ass and completed the whole inside in 2 days with a 5 man crew. The kitchen cabinet install is underway, we opted for White Shaker, Quartz countertops and an island with waterfall slab. It’s looking really sophisticated yet “Beachy”, cant wait to see the wire brushed light colored matte finish flooring we picked out go in this weekend.
Stay tuned to see the Flooring, Tile Jobs and Exterior paint! Call for a cash offer, Sell your house with No real estate agent.

Inherited house gets sold to cash home buyer Green Button Homes. Location, Location, Location! This is a very cute little 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 1 car garage cottage we just closed on in Pacific Beach! It’s 3 short blocks to Fanuel Park and 5 blocks to one of the most popular beaches and tourist destinations in San Diego. I’m really excited to transform this little inherited house into something special. We bought this home directly from the out-of-area owner who is a Century 21 real estate agent. After inheriting it, they did not want to list the house on the market in the MLS and pay commissions because it needed work. They wanted to sell it as-is for cash and make no repairs. We are going to do all new surfaces; Kitchen, Bath, Flooring, Paint, Windows and Stucco. I might even take off the burglar bars. I spent a lot of time in Pacific Beach during and after college. I probably rode my bike past this house 100 times over a 15-year time span. Here are the Before pics, we should bring this to market just in time for the Summer. Affordable Pacific Beach House for Sale coming soon!
