He understands the timelines and plainly explains what to expect and what has to happen in order to move to the next stage. He was essential to closing the deal on my Serra Mesa single family home in a highly competitive market. Martin exceeded my expectations in every way. I definitely recommend Martin to any buyer or seller in San Diego. Thanks Martin, you're the best!” -Aaron
“My family and I were completely satisfied to find Martin Barros to sell our house. Being in the military, I have bought and sold 7 houses, but Martin would “hands down” win the award for providing the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE amongst all the REALTORS® that I have worked with.

A sanctuary is a place where someone feels safe and serene. Within our homes, the primary bedroom serves as a sanctuary within a sanctuary. It’s the intimate space where we begin and end our days, and seek refuge from the outside world.
The concept of sanctuary is as personal as a fingerprint, so even the dreamiest of primary bedrooms today can look and feel very different. Some bedroom retreats may take design cues from the hotel world, incorporating an adjoining sitting room for unwinding at the end of the day or a dedicated cappuccino bar to start the day. Reading nooks or meditation rooms are also increasingly popular additions. Many, though not all, will be oriented towards a view – whether it be water, mountain, or city. And if a primary bedroom has a private balcony? Perfection. Calming color palettes
Source: https://blog.coldwellbankerluxury.com/stylishly-serene-dream-bedrooms/ warm, layered lighting are common, and can immediately set the tone that this is a space for relaxation and retreat. Natural elements like wood, stone, plants and fireplaces are favorites, as they promote a sense of well-being. High-quality luxury bedding and textiles ensure a restful night’s sleep. Blackout shades, aromatherapy, or soothing sounds also go a long way in creating “ambiance.” Adding personal touches – like artwork, photographs and decorative pieces from a homeowner’s travels – can also go a long way in transforming a primary bedroom space from a mere sleep zone to a sanctuary optimized for true R&R.
No matter what your idea of sanctuary is, we’ve collected three of the most havenlike bedroom suites in the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury world at the moment.
Consider your serenity tank filled from the moment you walk inside this dream Costa Rica bedroom suite. Boasting wide open views via a disappearing wall from its elevated position, the bedroom fosters deep connection with nature by effortlessly merging with the breathtaking tropical surrounds of Whales Coast, which lies just south of San Jose.

If you’re trying to buy a home and are having a hard time finding one you can afford, it may be time to consider a fixer-upper. That’s a house that needs a little elbow grease or some updates, but has good bones. Fixer-uppers can be a really great option if you’re looking to break into the housing market or want to stretch your budget further. According to NerdWallet:
“Buying a fixer-upper can provide a path to homeownership for first-time home buyers, or a way for repeat buyers to afford a larger home or a better neighborhood. With the relatively low inventory of homes for sale these days, a move-in ready home can be hard to find, especially if you’re on a budget.”
Basically, since the number of homes for sale is still so low, if you’re only willing to tour homes that have all your dream features, you may be cutting down your options too much and making it harder on yourself than necessary. It may be time to cast a wider net.
Sometimes the perfect home is the one you perfect after buying it. Here’s some information that can help you pinpoint what you truly need so you can be strategic in your home search. First, make a list of all the features you want in a home. From there, work to break those features into categories like this:
If a house doesn’t have these features, it won’t work for you and your lifestyle.
These are features you’d love to have but can live without. Nice-to-haves aren’t dealbreakers, but if you find a home that hits all the must-haves and some of these, it’s a contender.
Once you’ve sorted your list in a way that works for you, share it with your real estate agent. They’ll help you find homes that deliver on your top needs right now and have the potential to be your dream home with a little bit of sweat equity. Lean on their expertise as you think through what’s possible, what features are easy to change or add, and how to make it happen. According to Progressive: “Many real estate agents specialize in finding fixeruppers and have a network of inspectors, contractors, electricians, and the like.”
This is where you can really think big. Again, these aren’t features you’ll need, but if you find a home in your budget that has all the must-haves, most of the nice-to-haves, and any of these, it’s a clear winner.
Your agent can also offer advice on which upgrades and renovations will set you up to get the greatest return on your investment if you ever decide to sell down the line.
If you haven’t found a home you love that’s in your budget, it may be worth thinking through all your options, including fixer-uppers. Sometimes the perfect home for you is the one you perfect after buying it. To see what’s available in our area, let’s connect.
