PREPARED FOR MIKE PAYDAR
Imagine living in a place where the crisp, clean air is filled with the scent of fresh garlic, where rolling hills and farmland stretch as far as the eye can see, and where small-town charm meets modern convenience. That’s the essence of Gilroy, a community that seamlessly blends rich agricultural heritage with a relaxed suburban lifestyle.
Gilroy is known as the “Garlic Capital of the World,” and it’s easy to see why. The land here is fertile and abundant, with garlic fields and fresh produce at every turn. As a resident, you’ll find yourself exploring the Road to Garlic, a route that leads to local farm stands, specialty shops, and restaurants, where garlic isn’t just an ingredient—it’s an experience. The city’s culinary scene is a celebration of its agricultural roots, making every meal feel like a special occasion.
But Gilroy isn’t just about food—it’s also about great wine. Just a short drive away, you’ll find yourself on the Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail, home to over 20 wineries, each offering its own unique taste of the region. On weekends, many of these wineries come alive with live music and food trucks, creating a perfect setting for enjoying the local flavor and connecting with neighbors.
For those who love the outdoors, Gilroy doesn’t disappoint. Spend a quiet afternoon hiking the trails of Christmas Hill Park or Henry W. Coe State Park, where nature’s beauty surrounds you. And for golf enthusiasts, Gilroy is the place to be. Whether you’re teeing off at the Gilroy Golf Course, a scenic 18-hole public course, or taking on the challenge of the Coyote Creek Golf Club with its championship courses, there’s always a place to enjoy a round under the California sun.
Gilroy’s family-friendly atmosphere is one of the things that makes it so special. With top-rated schools and attractions like the Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park, you’ll have plenty of ways to spend quality time with your loved ones. The park’s whimsical gardens and iconic Circus Trees provide the perfect backdrop for a day of fun and adventure.
You won’t have to travel far when it's time to shop. Head to the Gilroy Premium Outlets for unbeatable deals at over 145 designer stores, or stroll through Historic Downtown Gilroy, where you’ll find charming local shops and cozy eateries that make every outing feel like a treat.
And while you may love the peaceful pace of life in Gilroy, you’re never far from the action. The beautiful beaches of Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz are just a short drive away, giving you the perfect excuse to escape to the coast whenever you need a change of scenery.
Gilroy’s location also makes it a commuter’s dream. With Caltrain service to San Jose and Silicon Valley, you can enjoy the tranquility of suburban living while still being close to the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area.
In Gilroy, you don’t just find a place to live—you find a place to thrive. Whether it’s savoring the freshest garlic, enjoying a glass of local wine, hitting the golf course, or spending time with family, Gilroy offers a lifestyle that’s as rich in experiences as it is in history.
Reaching the right audience for your property at the right time, and with the perfect messaging
Families: Gilroy is an attractive place for families looking for a suburban lifestyle. The city offers a quieter, family-friendly environment with good schools and parks, making it appealing for parents who want a safe and pleasant place to raise their children.
Commuters: Many people who work in Silicon Valley, San Jose, or the broader San Francisco Bay Area choose to live in Gilroy due to its proximity to these job centers. Commuters may prefer single-family homes for more space, a yard, and a sense of community.
Homebuyers Seeking Space and Affordability: While the San Francisco Bay Area is known for its high real estate prices, Gilroy may offer relatively more affordable housing options compared to nearby cities, for those looking for larger living areas.
Gardening and Outdoor Enthusiasts: Gilroy's agricultural history and climate make it an excellent place for people who enjoy gardening or outdoor activities. Having a singlefamily home with a yard can be a significant draw for those with green thumbs or outdoor hobbies.
Retirees: Some retirees or empty nesters choose to settle in Gilroy for its mild climate and suburban setting. Single-family homes can offer comfortable and peaceful surroundings for those looking to enjoy their retirement years.
Community-Oriented Individuals: Gilroy has a welcoming and community-oriented atmosphere. People who value strong community connections and want to be part of a friendly, tight-knit neighborhood may choose single-family homes in Gilroy.
Nature Lovers: The presence of nearby parks and outdoor recreational opportunities, such as Henry W. Coe State Park and local hiking trails, can attract nature enthusiasts who want to be close to outdoor adventures.
It's important to note that people's reasons for choosing single-family homes in Gilroy can vary widely, but many are drawn to the city for its suburban atmosphere, proximity to job centers, and the opportunity to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle while still having access to urban amenities.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
”I really can’t say enough good things about Lisa. She is always ready and willing to help and responds quickly to calls. Lisa has sold two of my homes and both transactions went smoothly and closed quickly. She also helped me find a lovely home and that transaction went very well, too. Lisa is very knowledgeable about real estate in general, and she is a long time resident of Gilroy and knows the city and the surrounding areas very, very well. I will definitely request her assistance with my next real estate transaction.”
BUYER AND SELLER
Lisa was super helpful in all the processes that come with selling the house. She took care of ordering whatever updates were needed for the house and came in regularly to check-in with the contractors' progress. She was always super prompt in responding to our questions and was very diligent in her work. She was amazing in her work and would definitely recommend!
SELLER
”Jen and Andrew have beyond exceeded our expectations. They were patient with us through a long search process, provided a consultative approach along the way, set realistic expectations without letting us overpay and we're never just here to sell us any house. When it came time to sell our home the team of people they work with to prep, the marketing support and the frequency of updates keeping us in the loop has once again been over the top. We could not be happier to be working with them, will 100% be referring our friends and colleagues and will without question use them again in the future.”

Advantages of Working with a Cooperating Broker
Working with a professional buyer’s agent can provide a host of benefits you may not have considered. Together, we can collaborate to showcase your home in its best light to a broader pool of qualified buyers, ensuring a more efficient contractto-close process for everyone involved.
Increased Exposure For Your Listing
A buyer’s agent can help get your listing in front of interested buyers they are already working with, maximizing your home’s exposure in a competitive market. More eyes mean more interest.
More Qualified Buyers
The guidance and expertise of a buyer's agent increase the likelihood that you are moving forward with qualified buyers who are informed and ready to transact. What does this mean? It translates to a lower potential for the deal to fall apart and a more efficient, painless sales process for you
Seamless Contract-to-Close
Buyer agents provide guidance and support to buyers throughout the entire contract-toclose process. This means I will have the opportunity to work with a dedicated agent on the deal’s complexities to ensure an objective approach and a seamless transaction.

The Power of Photography
Beautiful photography is one of the most powerful tools for selling your home. Compass uses bestin-class photographers to show your home in its best light, make a positive first impression, and attract more buyers.
Pricing Your Property to Maximize Buyer Activity
Timing of Buyer Activity
A property receives the most traffic within the first few weeks of hitting the market. It is important to get the price right in order to gain the attention of interested buyers and maximize your home's position in the market.
Attracting Buyers Using Competitive Pricing
Using competitive analysis, market research, and Compass’ suite of AI-powered tools, we recommend a price for your property to generate the most activity and offers early on before buyers move on to newer listings.
Reach more prospective buyers with intelligent digital advertising.
By leveraging Compass’ digital advertising tools and partnerships across social media and advertising throughout your listing process, we can generate demand to sell your home faster, and we meet potential buyers where they are, online.
Proprietary Targeting Optimized Performance
Compass helps generate buyer interest by using proprietary data to serve ads to Facebook and Instagram users.
Compass tracks and measures the results of every campaign which allows for continued optimization.

Marketing your home
At The Oldham Group, we put an emphasis on modern marketing, taking a multi-pronged approach to the digital promotion of your property. This starts with a professional property website to properly showcase your home to interested buyers online.
The fist thing we do before marketing is Identify the buyer persona. For example, a Silicon Valley engineer with a net worth of $3M who likes mountain biking and comic-con. Then, we create marketing that will attract that buyer persona to your lising.
Enhanced Targeting allows us to target consumers based on the sites they visit and the apps installed on their phone. By narrowing down to profession-specific sies and apps, we can effectively target any profession or interest you can imagine. 2701 Witheridge Road
The property website includes photos, videos, virtual tours, listing details and has the ability to submit contact information as an interested buyer.
We run website traffic ads though Facebook and Instagram to drive visitors to the page. These ads are live for the duration of the listing and are updated with status changes such as “Coming Soon,” “Just Listed,” and “Price Reduction.
We also target the listing area through email campaigns. These emails are sent for each status change on your listing and are full of information for potential buyers. When sending these emails, we create a list of potential leads in the area through a mix of home buyers in our team database as well as local homeowner leads from a third party real estate farming tool.
To top off our digital listing campaign, we create and publish Google Display and Search advertisements. Very similar to the social media ads, these content pieces are posted for status changes. They drive traffc to the property website as all of the digital.
GOOGLE ADS
Engaging Open Houses
Whether it be in-person or a dynamic virtual tour, open houses are one of the most important ways buyers connect with your home.
Of homebuyers attend an open house while searching for a home to buy*
Assessing Our Strategy and Monitoring the Market
Using proprietary tools such as Collections and Insights, we keep you informed of market conditions and traffic to your property.
Insights Collections
Collections allows us to have a collaborative conversation on your home selling process with instant updates on comparable listings and access to insider knowledge previously only available to the agent community.
Insights is a detailed, custom dashboard that allows us to assess the impact of our online marketing campaigns in real time. By capturing this data, we are able to further target our ads to buyers most interested in your home.
