About Me

My name is James Steele and I am a realtor with Alain Pinel.  Working in the Silicon Valley market is particularly exciting because of the way our community views real estate.  Our increased focus on technology has led to a new breed of buyers and sellers who are thirsty for information, tech-savvy and who take it upon themselves to learn about real estate and their local markets.

Therefore, I feel that it's the realtor's job to bring you valuable content that you can access instantly, whether you are looking to purchase or sell a property or whether you just enjoy checking out what's on the market (because let's be honest, who doesn't like taking a quick look at the open houses in their neighborhood?).  Since I spend much of my time previewing the latest listings, it is my intention that this blog be a fun and casual resource for you to get a sneak peek at properties I feel are exciting and interesting, whether from an architectural, historical or novelty standpoint.

Since the goal of this blog is to be a more casual resource, I'm trying to keep the focus on sharing an insider's look into properties.  If you'd like more in-depth reports and statistics, I've provided other outlets for you to take a look at.  Please visit my website at http://www.jamessteelerealestate.com.  I've uploaded several market snapshot reports powered by Altos research on a variety of communities that can be downloaded instantly free of charge.  They discuss the pricing trends, whether the market favors the buyer or seller and even break down the properties by quartiles to show you what price ranges are moving the quickest.  They are uploaded on Wednesday. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  My contact information is as follows:
