Fannie Mae has launched an interactive video simulation tool to inform struggling homeowners about their options and how to avoid a foreclosure. This is very entrancing as I found myself going through the videos over and over and coming to different conclusions each time.

Having learned the internet real estate business since 2001 I know what it takes to reach San Jose homebuyers and sellers much like yourself (thanks for reading thus far). My name is David Contreras and I am the newest team member of the San Jose Team.
Coming from a diverse experience and background makes my exciting career change at the young age of 35 one of my most well thought out plans ever. Simply put, I was always meant to pursue a career in real estate. My own skills and work history have groomed me into the professional that I am today. From helping to build a real estate internet start-up company to online marketing, SEO, and SEM expertise along with building and establishing long-term business relationships and as always customer service, these are all things that have made my career change simple and seamless.
Why, you ask, does this mean you’re going to be good at your new career? In the many hours of studying required to pass my California State test the main point that is always coming up is the fiduciary responsibility we, as realtors, have to our clients during and after all real estate transactions. This means we are always working for and you and your interests. I also have the best mentor and partner any new real estate professional can have. Our Team has the top J.D. Powers rated real estate company working to help us with Keller Williams Cupertino.
With all this support how could San Jose Team not be able to give our clients answers to any and all questions and concerns that come up while they buy or sell real estate. Just ask and we can help. My Cell 408.375.7429
