Empowering You IN Every Move

homeperqs It's the little things that add up when working with homePERQs. Cara's attention to detail and her ability to listen and offer sound advise are of great value. These folks are true professionals that want to help people attain their goals. I am very glad to have the homePERQs team's experience and guidance in navigating the investment side of real estate through their Turn-Key strategy. - Andrew B.

homeperqs Not all escrows are smooth sailing—some take a few extra twists and turns. We’d love to say every deal goes off without a hitch, but the reality is, sometimes there are challenges that need to be worked through. The key is always communication, and that’s exactly what got us to the finish line on this one. So, what made this one tricky? For starters, our clients were selling their condo in Riverside at the same time, which added layers of timing and complexity. Second, they didn’t even think owning a detached home in Horse Creek Ridge was within reach. And third, @caraeden worked some serious magic behind the scenes to overcome loan hurdles and lock in the right financing. There were tough conversations, but we stayed connected every step of the way. Now we get to say the best part—welcome home to our awesome clients! They’re moving into a place they didn’t think was possible... and @jhilgesen negotiated the deal $23,000 under asking. If you want to turn dreams into a reality, we are ready to help.

homeperqs Big congrats to our clients on scooping up this gem in Horse Creek Ridge! If you’ve never seen this newer community on the outskirts of Fallbrook, you need to put it on your radar. The home has all the right upgrades—paid-off solar, dual A/C, and a setup that’s perfect for hanging out or hosting. The kitchen is a total standout, and the walk-in pantry under the stairs is clutch. Upstairs, they’ve got a great primary suite, a laundry room, and plenty of space for everyday life. And that backyard? It’s west-facing and ready for summer vibes 🤙. 3 Beds ☑️ 2.5 Baths ☑️ 1,568 SF ☑️ Paid Solar ☑️ Heated Community Pool ☑️ Built in 2017 ☑️

homeperqs Upper East on Grand Avenue is almost open—James Thorp’s newest gastropub is everything we needed. Elevated comfort food, craft drinks, 20-tap bar, and prices that make sense. Family-friendly, pet-friendly, and downtown Esco just got a major upgrade. 🙌 Follow @upper_east_on_grand

homeperqs 🏡 Homeowners Are 40x Wealthier Than Renters. Here's Why 👀 The median homeowner has a net worth of $400K, while the median renter? Just $10.4K. Yep, you heard that right. Why such a massive gap? It comes down to 3 key wealth-building advantages: 1️⃣ Equity – Every mortgage payment builds your net worth, not your landlord’s. 2️⃣ Appreciation – Home values often rise. In San Diego last year, prices jumped 7%. 3️⃣ Tax Benefits – Deductions + exclusions = more money in your pocket. Real estate isn’t just shelter, it’s a wealth-building machine. 💡 Thinking of buying? It might be your smartest financial move yet.

homeperqs We’ve added some amazing new companies to our presentation lineup this year. One of our recent stops was Spinal Elements in Carlsbad—this company is doing incredible work in the medical space. We’re grateful for the opportunity to present and excited to be back again soon! If you think you know of a company looking to increase financial wellness for their employees let us know in the comments.

homeperqs This is what it looks like when off-market investment opportunities come our way in Georgia and Tennessee 🔑 If you want to be added to the list and get first access to these deals, shoot us a DM with your email or text it to @jhilgesen at 760.685.2637 DRE#01968748

homeperqs It started with a text… and ended with a BABY and a HOUSE! 🏡👶 This is why we love what we do — great clients referring their great friends who need help buying real estate here in San Diego. The text was simple: "Dan’s a college friend. He’s a doctor in SD, recently married, and ready to start the homebuying process." Within a week, we had a call lined up and they were pre-approved through @caraeden. 🙌 In November, we started house hunting. We didn’t find "the one" right away, so they hit pause to welcome their first child into the world. ❤️ Fast forward a couple of months — now it wasn’t just the three of us looking at homes… it was four! We ended up finding the perfect spot in the beautiful community of Escala in Mission Valley. @jhilgesen negotiated the deal $14,000 under list price with seller credits included. 🔥 Now they’re starting this new chapter — new home, new family — and we couldn’t be happier for them. And to think... it all started with a single text message. 📱 Client referrals mean everything to us. Thank you for trusting us with your people! PS - Yes, that’s a gigantic sweet dog!

homeperqs All you had to say was ONE line @jhilgesen!!!

homeperqs Wishing the happiest birthday to @caraeden! 🎉 Everyone sees the boss you are—showing up every day, delivering for clients, building a business, and educating along the way. But those of us who know you best know your favorite title is mom. You do all of this for your boys, and you somehow make it all look easy. You’re driven, loyal, and absolutely built for this. Hope today you feel the love you constantly pour into everyone else. ❤️

homeperqs Real estate looks glamorous—but it isn’t. If you showed up at our VIP Investor Dinner, you might’ve thought it was easy. The room was full, the energy was high, the deals sounded great… Glamorous, right? But it isn’t. What you didn’t see was everything it took to get here. Getting 50 clients in the same room, on the same night, didn’t happen overnight. It took time—time to figure out logistics, time to build proof of concept, and most importantly… time to earn trust. That’s what got us here. And now that we’ve got the right foundation, we’re confident. Confident enough to not just show our clients how we invest in real estate—but to simplify the path so they can do it too. Our Turn-Key investment strategy is working. And it’s built around one thing: adding value to our clients’ lives and helping them grow their portfolios. But don’t let the nice venue and full room fool you—this wasn’t easy. But it was worth it. . . . 📸 @erictoufar 📍 @californiaenglishsd
