This month, we’re honoring someone very special to us—Petey, our sweet office pup and forever member of the VB Realty Group family. If you ever met him, you know: Petey had a way of showing up with a wag, a nuzzle, or just quiet calm, right when you needed it most. He reminded us of what really makes a house a home—it’s not the walls, the floors, or the upgrades… it’s who you share it with.
Let’s be real—pets are family. Nearly 70% of U.S. households have one, and more than 80% of pet owners say their pets are full-on family members (we're in that 80%, no question). Whether they’re making us laugh, getting us out for a walk, or just being there during a tough day, they give us so much. That’s why more and more buyers are asking for pet-friendly homes—yards, trails, and neighborhoods that feel welcoming for every member of the family, paws included.
In Petey’s memory, we’re continuing to support Viva Los Gatos, Baja, a nonprofit close to our hearts. They rescue abandoned and at-risk cats, giving them the second chance they deserve. If you’ve ever been loved by a pet, you know how powerful that bond is. A donation—big or small—can help provide food, shelter, and care to cats still waiting for their forever home.
Here’s to the pets who make life better—and to carrying that love forward. 🐾

Owning a home isn’t just about having a place to call your own—it can also come with some major tax perks. From mortgage interest deductions to property tax write-offs, homeownership can help lower your taxable income and potentially boost your savings. While tax season just passed, it’s never too early to start planning for next year. Buying a home now could set you up for some valuable deductions when it’s time to file again.
And if you’re thinking about selling, there are benefits there too! If your home’s been your primary residence for a couple of years, you may be able to keep a chunk of the profit from the sale without owing taxes on it. Plus, things like upgrades or selling expenses could help reduce how much is considered taxable.
Whether you’re buying your first place, selling your current one, or just exploring your options, let’s chat! A little planning now can go a long way toward meeting your goals.

Spring is the perfect time to give your home a reset—not just for looks, but for functionality, maintenance, and long-term value. Whether you're listing your home, moving into a new one, planning renovations, or just organizing for the season ahead, spring cleaning is a great opportunity to take stock of your space. Deep cleaning windows, baseboards, and vents can boost air quality and energy efficiency, while decluttering helps reclaim usable space. Even small updates like fresh paint or spruced-up landscaping can make a big impact—especially if you're thinking about selling.
Beyond the feel-good results, these updates can also help build equity. Regular maintenance and smart upgrades protect your investment and increase property value over time. Buyers are drawn to homes that show care and attention, and homeowners who stay proactive often enjoy better returns when it’s time to refinance or sell. Whether you're refreshing for yourself or your next move, spring is the ideal season to add value and breathe new life into your home.

Let’s be honest—if the kids have flown the nest, that big house may not be serving you the way it once did. What used to be a spacious family home may now feel like a glorified storage unit, filled with stuff you don’t really need.
It might be time to think about downsizing to a place that better suits your current needs—something cozy, easier to maintain, and without all the extra space to clean and organize.
Imagine: less house, less clutter, more time to enjoy the things that matter to YOU. Whether it’s more freedom, fewer maintenance headaches, or simply reclaiming your space, downsizing can offer a fresh start for this next chapter.
If downsizing is something you’ve been considering (or even just wondering about), let’s chat! We can explore what your options might look like and find a place that fits your lifestyle and budget—without the burden of unused rooms or a giant mortgage.
