Prop 19 allows a homeowner who is 55 years of age or older, severely disabled or whose home has been substantially damaged by wildfire or natural disaster to transfer the taxable value of their primary residence to: ... a) a replacement primary residence anywhere in the state, b) regardless of the value of the replacement primary residence (but with adjustments if replacement has a greater value), c) within two years of the sale and d) up to three times (or as often as needed for those whose houses were destroyed by fire).

Even though real estate agents are considered "essential" in California, it is not business as usual. We have a strict protocol to follow if a buyer would like an "in person" showing. Some seller's are not comfortable having people enter their home, home buyer's are searching online now more than ever to avoid entering homes. I recommend downloading the Compass Real Estate app on your phone to set up your home search. You are able to see homes listed as "Coming Soon" which are not yet in the MLS or on syndicated sites and apps. Let me know if you would like more information on how to download the app.

Yes, real estate agents are still working during this time and like a lot of other businesses we have converted to a virtual world. With that being said, if you have specific real estate questions during this time or would like to schedule a buyer or seller consultation, I'd be happy to help via FaceTime or other video conference applications. Email me at [email protected] if you would like to set something up.

Our home has became everything to us including our office, classrooms, restaurants, gyms and everything in-between. With so much time being spent at home it may feel like it is time to tackle the spring cleaning. Here are some tips for a successful spring cleaning.

Swipe right for ways you can support our healthcare heroes during this unforeseen situation we are currently facing. First and foremost thank your friends and family members who are sacrificing their health for others. Another great way to say thank you is by having food delivered or providing a home cooked meal to the family of healthcare workers. Offering childcare or help with pets can take some stress off of a healthcare professional who is working longer than usual ho...urs. Donating blood if you are able to can save lives. Lastly, staying home whenever possible can help prevent the spread of the virus. ~ ~ ~ #compasscando #stayinside #healthcareheros #compasscares #compasscando #stayinside #healthcareheros #compasscares #saferathome #sandiegorealtor #sandiegorealestate #sandiegoliving #realty #broker #rosalierodriguez #DRE01057828 @ San Diego, California See more

Staging is SO Imortant! The facts don't lie. One downfall can be how much it actually costs to stage a home. They say you have to "spend money to make money" but what if you didn't?
