He is incredibly knowledgeable, always responded immediately, and has a solid team working with him. You won't find a better mortgage broker than Doug."

My Mission: Providing excellence in real estate representation for sellers, buyers and investors throughout the SF Bay Area with nearly 30 years experience specializing in residential, commercial, property management, and investment property. What I do best: I consider myself a problem solver and am able to expertly guide my clients through every avenue when it comes to real estate purchases. As a very proficient negotiator, I strive to obtain the best value for my exclusive clientele whether it is their first home or their last. My intention: My desire is to elevate the professionalism in the real estate industry by providing a prime example of a combination of integrity, excellence, and service. Education: Having graduated from SFSU with an International business degree and living/traveling aboard for a few years throughout Asia. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in China for a couple years where I learned Mandarin and achieved one of my life long dreams of studying from one of the most renowned martial artist in the world. Being a student of martial arts since I was young, I excel in disciple and diligence in everything I do. Before my over 30+ year tenure as a Realtor, I worked in the construction industry as a carpenter apprentice and know what quality construction looks like. I use my love of construction to educate my clients in every aspect of home ownership and repair/remodeling/new construction. Included in my services, I often assist clients in the remodeling process in order to maximize their resale value of their homes. From hiring appropriate construction workers, to overseeing their work, and coordinating every one’s schedule to obtain the quickest turn around time possible with the least amount of cost involved.

"Jonathan was great to work with! He was incredibly responsive and produced a great report for us to use in our home buying process. I would 100% use him again in the future."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Ranch-style homes are typically larger and more rectangular than most bungalows' small, square footprints. The floor plans for these two home styles are often different, too, with ranch home bedrooms placed along a hallway off the central living space and bungalows having their bedrooms directly off the main area without hallways.

Yes, coffered ceilings add value to a home. They’re a timeless addition that creates an instant focal point in a room and makes it feel luxurious, no matter the style. This can catch the eye of potential homebuyers and get them excited about the home, providing you with a return on your investment.

While it's smart to save up about 25 percent of the price of a home—to cover the down payment and closing costs—many loans require between less than 3% down to qualify. In either case, you'll need between 3 and 6 percent for the closing and moving costs as well as a strong financial history for mortgage approval.

The difference between a mobile home and a trailer home is primarily between construction standards and usage. Mobile homes built after 1976 meet HUD safety regulations, offering more durability and livability. Trailer homes, an older term, often refer to smaller, lightweight units primarily designed for temporary travel or camping.

Redfin reported in 2021 that homes with fireplaces were listed on the market for around 13% more than the national median sale price, but this doesn’t mean that they actually sold for that much. While homebuyer demand reigns supreme, the actual ROI on a fireplace depends on various factors, including size, type, and material.
