In our San Marcos home purchased in 2008(with Jim’s help) Rock-It installed our granite counters when we did an entire new kitchen reno. I highly recommend Steve and his team at Rock-It as they did a fantastic job, absolute perfection! Many of our neighbors are also happy Rock-It customers. If you want your new countertops done correctly the first time they are the only people you need to call.

Attorneys work downtown, everyone else works in Sorrento Valley, the center of the SD universe (and CV-adjacent).

Some people don’t work though. There is a lot of money around here.

Killer deal, although not exactly my style.

Jim,

I’m curious — how many of your buyers actually work downtown? In my entire professional life I’ve spent only 7 months in downtown L.A., and (outside of people I worked with there) almost nobody I’ve ever known actually works “in town”. Furthermore, I rarely ever need or want to venture downtown (although with SD that would be different).

That’s why I find it odd when anyone discusses commutes in terms of proximity to the city center. I tried but have yet to find a San Diego employment heatmap, but you can probably name the top companies off the top of your head. How many are downtown?

Granted, “farther out” can mean lower prices (as it does in this case), but obviously too “close in” does, too. Places like CV could be considered in the “sweet spot” distance-wise, but how many CV denizens really commute south?

Your thoughts?

I converted my Carmel Valley home to a rental and moved inland. Don’t know why more people aren’t jumping at homes like this.

There are magnificent custom estates that can be bought for less than a half or even a third of what it would cost to build new. Five years from now a lot of folks still in their McMansions, or a slightly larger upgraded iteration, are going to regret not taking advantage of this chance to truly upgrade their lifestyle.

Thanks D Man, I thought this was the best vendor video yet. Precision work, great selection, and terrific price.

Being a homeowner means tackling projects. I think it’s my job to spotlight some reliable guys to assist.

I forgot to mention that I really like the thick style of granite with no front edge – looks much nicer (and more expensive). Will definately check out this company – thank you Jim for another good find.
