“Sage Real Estate Group and their whole team greatly exceeded all my expectations...."

"For anyone in the market who wants to buy or list and sell their property there is one name I feel comfortable referring and that is Juan Huizar with Sage Real Estate Group. His personable approach and attention to detail is amazing. He is willing to do what it takes to get the right marketing message out to the potential buyers and the same for sellers as well. He helped me with my commercial property lease and tenant agreement and my wife Ana and I could not be happier!"

“Juan was referred to me by a good friend that focuses on multi-family real estate because we needed help with our current property. Juan gave us great advice on how to proceed and even reached out to his contacts in the city to get us accurate information. I will definitely do business with Sage Real Estate again since he is very thorough and truly cares about his clients.”

"The Sage Real Estate Team is awesome! They made the process of purchasing my first property extremely smooth and stress-free. We were able close escrow in less than 30 days. My realtor was Juan, he helped me from beginning to end by showing me several listings, submitting the initial offer, negotiating purchase terms, home inspection, and personally handing me the keys at closing. If you are interested in buying or selling real estate, whether it be a condo, a house, or an investment property, Sage Real Estate is your best bet!"

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. What is SB9?
SB9 is a California state law that allows homeowners to split their single-family lot into two parcels, making it easier to develop or sell part of their property.

2. Who qualifies for an SB9 lot split?
Most single-family homeowners with extra land may qualify, but there are some restrictions, such as minimum lot size and environmental regulations.

3. How long does an SB9 lot split take?
The process typically takes 9-12 months, depending on the city and complexity of the split.

4. How much does it cost to do an SB9 lot split?
The total cost ranges between $55,000 and $75,000, but most costs are covered upfront, and you only pay if your lot split is successfully approved.

5. Will my property taxes increase after a lot split?
No full reassessment occurs, but the new lot will receive its own tax bill, with a small annual parcel tax of about $1,000 to $2,000.

6. Do I have to live on the property after a lot split?
Currently, you must sign an affidavit stating you intend to reside there for three years, but enforcement is unclear, and this requirement may change soon.

7. Can I build multiple homes on the new lot?
Yes! You can build up to two full-size homes on each lot, not just ADUs.

8. Can I do this if my home is in a historic district or coastal zone?
Historic districts are ineligible, but coastal properties may qualify with additional permitting.

9. Does my HOA have the power to stop an SB9 lot split?
If your HOA’s CC&Rs prohibit lot splits, they can override state law. However, a proposed new law (SB 677) may eliminate HOA restrictions soon.
