Walk into an open house with someone on your side.
The person hosting an open house was hired by the seller, or is there at the listing broker's direction. Send me the address of anything you want to see. I will tour it with you, request the disclosures, and represent your side of the table.
Short notice tours whenever I am available, often same day or next. 707-893-7374 is also 707-89-FRESH. Same number.

Know who to call about any property
Before you write an offer, you usually need the planning and building department, the water and sewer provider, the trash hauler, the fire district, the police non-emergency line, the school district and a few county offices. I built the list so you are not hunting for it.
Who to call, by area
Pick your town and get its planning and building departments, water, sewer and trash providers, fire district, police non-emergency line and county offices. Every number was read off that authority's own website and is dated.

Text me the address. I will point you to the right department, usually the same day, and tell you which one actually handles what you are asking about.

Read the playbook before Sunday
How to walk an open house so it actually tells you something. What to check in the first two minutes, the six questions worth asking the host, and exactly what happens before a private tour, including what California law now requires and what representation costs.

About the DoorCali map. The open house map is offline while it is rebuilt on a licensed MLS feed, so that every open house shown here is accurate, current, and properly credited to the listing brokerage and listing agent. A directory of open houses is only worth having if the times are right and the sources are right.
No launch date is promised here, because MLS licensing timelines are not mine to control. Nothing on this page is an offer of MLS access.
