Monte Sereno, plainly read.

Two doors, both placed in 2021, both still in residence. The original tenants on both have already renewed once. Vendor coordination here is more complex than the lot size suggests because properties tend to have unique infrastructure (private wells, specific landscape services).

We see four to six listings city-wide in a typical year. Off-MLS placements through private network channels account for roughly 40% of those, with the remainder reaching MLS only after initial off-market attempts fail to land the right tenant.

Monte Sereno's tenants are essentially Los Gatos tenants with more room. C-suite tech leadership families wanting more lot, multi-property landlords renting during their primary residence renovation, occasional Stanford-affiliated relocations seeking discretion. Tenancies are long; turnover is rare.

Monte Sereno is too small to support a meaningful dedicated practice, which is partly why we keep only two doors here. The owners who work with us value continuity above all. Same portfolio manager, same vendor relationships, same operational pace year over year.

AB 1482 state cap; estate-scale homes typically exempt. I track the effective rent cap per property and apply it at renewal. That includes the required tenant notices, deposit handling under California Civil Code §1950.5, and any local timing requirements that apply.
