Featured in Daily Mail
The Daily Mail, one of the world's largest publishers, reached out for our perspective on California's Assembly Bill 2050, which concerns HOA costs and reserve requirements.
We were featured as the California expert on this topic, cited 14 times and directly quoted six times throughout the story, and all this just days before Governor Gavin Newsom decides whether to sign AB 2050 into law.
I'm proud to see our experience as a San Diego brokerage and broker featured in a story on an issue that directly affects the buyers and sellers I work with, on what is genuinely one of the largest media websites in the world, placed prominently on their main US Business and Real Estate sections. Huge.
Thank you to Sara McGiff for the opportunity and an excellent article.

FAQ
Start with the complete monthly cost, not only the purchase price. Review the loan payment, property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, assessments, maintenance, and likely repairs before deciding what is affordable. Get financing reviewed early, but preserve enough flexibility to evaluate the property, disclosures, and neighborhood carefully before removing contingencies.
Price and presentation must work together. Prepare the property carefully, use accurate professional photography, and review the disclosures before going live. The strongest launch creates urgency without misleading buyers. Respond to the market based on real showing activity and offers rather than waiting for the market to validate an unrealistic price.
I work with buyers, sellers, investors, military families, first-time buyers, luxury clients, probate and trust representatives, property owners, and clients evaluating residential or multifamily opportunities throughout San Diego County.
A recent Oceanside condominium listing closed for $438,500, slightly above its original $437,500 asking price. The transaction required careful pricing, presentation, and communication around the property's condition, HOA, and VA eligibility. Keeping the documentation and buyer expectations organized helped produce a clean closing for the seller.
I entered real estate through hands-on property investment and transaction experience. Working through acquisitions, renovations, financing, and sales showed me how much clients benefit from advice that accounts for the entire transaction rather than only the contract. That experience eventually led me to become a broker and establish Blum Realty Group.
I am a California-licensed real estate broker and mortgage loan originator. That combination helps me evaluate both the real estate and financing sides of a decision. I also bring more than a decade of transaction and investment experience involving residential and multifamily properties.
