Potential Property Research

Did you just fall in love with a property that is brimming with opportunity, but has a lot of open questions about if that opportunity is real? Before an offer is submitted or inspections are completed in escrow, I scour public permit records and applicable zoning + special district rules to find out the history of the property, and whether certain development opportunities (ADU, additions, etc) are possible. This report makes decision making easy for a buyer who smells a great opportunity, but wants some more information before jumping into a purchase.

Property Master Plan

Sometimes, its better to stay than to go. This service helps clients plan to develop their current property over time. We work together to ascertain future needs for the home, for example a place for aging parents to live, or a new primary wing to add privacy for adult children, and visualize and plan out these larger projects. Inside the home, we develop guiding furnishing documents, that develop a guiding vibe and style for interior design choices. Looking closely at the floor plan, we track future interior remodel projects, small adjustments that can provide more storage and additional functionality.

ADU Permit Sets + Interior Remodels

I  draft permit sets for additions, ADU’s, and other residential projects and facilitate the permit process, including coordinating with engineers, surveyors, and contractors. Depending on the client’s needs, I will prepare interior design direction, source samples and materials, and help cost compare products. We  brainstorm cost-effective solutions to get the interior you want within your budget. From kitchen refreshes to full ADU garage conversions, I happily help make your house a perfect home.
