How I Can Help You Buy or Sell Real Estate:

Welcome! I provide information about real estate in Silicon Valley. You will learn about homes for sale, recent real estate sales (through May 2013), closing costs for buyers and sellers, how to get your home ready to sell, school information, and useful facts about local cities.

"I believe honesty, integrity, hard work, commitment and creativity are all necessary to craft a truly successful real estate transaction. I bring passion for my work to every transaction."

I was recently (Jan 2012) asked to provide a short inspirational speech to a local association of realtors. My speech covered early events in my life which highlighted my motivation to excel as a realtor. It was well received and hopefully provided encouragement to others.

I am regularly asked if there are any foreclosures for sale. I have created city(zip code) searches for foreclosures, short sales, and REO properties.

Recent Testimonials

Kendal:

Thank you for handling the selling of our family home and the purchase of our new home. The price you negotiated for our new home was 2% below any offer we would have chanced to make

Aleksandr:

I think there are a lot of misconceptions of what makes good realtor. IMO the realtor should be judged on "core competencies" and "nice to have" qualities. Three qualities define core competency of a good realtor (in case of buying a house)
- Understands your needs
- Knows market
- Can get you the house you want

Juliana scores very highly on all three. She also does well on "nice to have" part - but that is almost irrelevant imo.

She specializes in Palo Alto and peninsula market, is extremely successful, and pretty much knows everyone. What I learned is that agents want to work with other good agents. This may mean that, if you are represented by someone well known, you will often get a chance for a second bid or will have preference if bids are equal. The logic is that successful agents know what they are doing and have higher chance to close the transaction. In the competitive market, such as PA, with multiple offers on properties, the difference between being represented by someone top notch vs average can be the difference between getting or not getting the house you want. In other markets where competition is not strong - the difference is likely not as pronounced.

We are now about to close on a house in downtown Palo Alto which we never thought we could have bought. I think a huge part of us getting it was Juliana's strategy and that people preferred to work with her.

I highly recommend her to anyone who wants RESULTS. And remember that real estate is a referral business. One only gets to the top if people keep referring you!

Real Estate Statistics - Just updated through May 2013

Perhaps even more than before, county wide statistics can not accurately portray a neighborhood or even a city. I've expanded my statistics to provide more information and to cover more cities.

A quick approximate view of San Francisco peninsula real estate price trends can be obtained by looking at the San Mateo County real estate statistics and Santa Clara County real estate statistics. The highest average price of approximately $1,252,416 for San Mateo single family homes, was recorded for Q1 of 2008. After hitting the lowest point in Q1 of 2009, prices partially rebounded then have remained fairly flat through March 2012. Santa Clara County prices trended slowly upward after Q1 of 2009 but began climbing in 2012. Palo Alto, Mountain View and Los Altos are leading the strong upward movement. Cupertino increased rapidly shortly after. Palo Alto single family houses have reached their highest ever average and median prices. At the end of the second quarter of 2012 the increase has spread to many cities. Both Santa Clara County and San Mateo County statistics show sharply increased home prices for the county wide averages. More detailed statistics are posted for many SF Peninsula and Silicon Valley cities.

San Mateo County Real Estate Average Sales Price

San Mateo County Average Home Sales Price and Median Sales Price

San Mateo County home sales prices have remained relatively flat after the drop in 2008 until the second quarter of 2012. Even though much speculation was made about facebook on the real estate market, Menlo Park home prices were slower to move upwards than Palo Alto.

Santa Clara County Average Home Sales Price and Median Sales Price

Santa Clara County average home sales prices are surging upward primarily due to strong buyer demand at first in cities with good schools, then spreading to many but not all other cites.

City of Palo Alto Average Home Sales Price and Median Sales Price

Palo Alto average and median home sales prices have rapidly climbed to an all time high. The surge in prices was strong first in cities known for good schools then spread to many other cities. For Palo Alto the increase in average price is also pushed up by the larger average size of the homes sold.

What Do my Real Estate Clients Say?
