The City of San Mateo, ideally located between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, is experiencing a robust real estate market according to Ron Gable, Manager of Alain Pinel’s San Mateo office. A large percentage of first time home buyers are finding homes in the $400,000 – $500,000 price range which was unheard of in the past in this area. A mild climate all year round, access to transportation and shopping and highly rated schools, make San Mateo a great place to live.

Living as we do in an increasingly global marketplace, it is critical that homes be marketed to buyers wherever in the world they may be. The Internet provides the best opportunity of doing so. While many real estate companies claim to be international in scope, their websites are mono-lingual. In contrast, Alain Pinel Realtors’ listings on apr.com are actually offered in 42 different languages:

Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.

In a multi-lingual world, Alain Pinel Realtors makes certain that your home is marketed internationally in a language offshore buyers will understand.
