Articles about Grant Deeds

California law allows the use of three different types of deeds to convey title to real estate.

A grant deed is a middle-level deed because it includes more guarantees of title than a quitclaim deed but fewer guarantees than a warranty deed.

The grant deed is also sometimes known as the special warranty deed.

The main purpose of the grant deed is to transfer property title from one person to another, such as from a seller to a buyer.

🏡 Good People, Great Homes!

Online Estimate vs. Professional CMA: What's the R Online Estimate vs. Professional CMA: What's the Real Difference? 🏠
An automated valuation gives you a number. A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) gives you a strategy.
Here's what a professional CMA includes that algorithms can't provide:
👁️ Physical Inspection – I actually walk through your home and assess condition, updates, and appeal
📍 Micro-Local Expertise – Street-by-street knowledge that impacts value (premium locations, school zones, neighborhood trends)
📊 Adjusted Comparables – Not just recent sales, but analyzed and adjusted for YOUR home's specific features
💡 Market Intelligence – Current buyer demand, inventory levels, and pricing strategy for today's conditions
🎯 Strategic Positioning – How to price to attract the right buyers and maximize your return
The difference? An algorithm assumes your renovated kitchen is "average." A CMA quantifies it: "$15,000 premium for modern finishes vs. comparable with dated oak cabinets."
Your home deserves more than a number—it deserves a strategy. Learn why professional valuation still matters in our latest blog post.

Starting your financial prep now gives you a huge advantage in the home buying process. Here's your 12-month timeline to get mortgage-ready:⁣
⁣
12 months out: ✅ Start saving for your down payment (aim for 10-20% of your target home price) ✅ Check your credit report and dispute any errors⁣
⁣
6-9 months out: ✅ Pay down existing debt to improve your debt-to-income ratio ✅ Avoid opening new credit accounts ✅ Build up your emergency fund (3-6 months of expenses)⁣
⁣
3-6 months out: ✅ Research lenders and mortgage options ✅ Gather financial documents (pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements)⁣
⁣
1-3 months out: ✅ Get pre-approved for your mortgage ✅ Start house hunting with confidence!⁣
⁣
💡 Pro tip: Don't just save for the down payment! Remember to budget for closing costs (typically 2-5% of the home price), moving expenses, and immediate home needs.⁣
