The Big House difference
Local knowledge
We live and work here. Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Escondido, Encinitas, Bonsall and Fallbrook — we know the neighborhoods, not just the listings.
Family-run
You deal with the same people from start to finish. No call center, no hand-offs, no being passed down a chain.
Full-service team
Agents, a broker and a lending partner under one roof, so buying, selling, financing and management stay coordinated.
Honest numbers
Realistic pricing and real advice. We would rather tell you the truth than tell you what you want to hear.
Work with our team
Buying, selling, financing or managing — start with a conversation.

Property Management
Owning a rental should build wealth, not become a second job. Big House Real Estate manages single-family homes and small portfolios across Vista and North County San Diego — handling the tenants, the maintenance and the month-to-month details so your property stays occupied and your income stays predictable.
What we handle for you
From the day a tenant applies to the day a repair is done, everything is managed by one local team that answers the phone. You get the returns; we handle the rest.
Tenant screening
Credit, income and rental history verified before anyone signs — placing reliable tenants who pay on time and stay longer.
Rent collection
On-time collection, clear accounting and owner disbursements you can rely on. Late rent is chased so you do not have to.
Maintenance & repairs
A trusted vendor network and 24/7 coordination for emergencies, with repairs handled promptly and documented.
Leases & compliance
California-compliant leases, notices and disclosures — keeping you on the right side of the rules that change often here.
Rent & market analysis
Pricing set to the local market so you maximize income without long vacancies between tenants.
Inspections & accounting
Move-in and periodic inspections, plus a clear monthly statement and year-end summary for your records.
How it works
1. Property review
We walk the home, confirm it is rent-ready, and recommend any updates that will pay for themselves in rent.
2. Marketing & placement
Professional listing, showings and screening — we find the right tenant fast and place them properly.
3. Manage & report
We run the tenancy day to day and keep you informed with straightforward statements and no surprises.

ADU Consulting Services
An ADU is one of the most powerful moves a California homeowner can make — a second home for family, a long-term rental, or a genuine boost to resale value. But the rules, the numbers, and the paperwork are where most projects stall. Big House Real Estate walks you through every stage, from the first feasibility question to the day your unit is ready to live in.
What an ADU can do for you
Accessory Dwelling Units — granny flats, casitas, garage conversions, backyard cottages — have become a cornerstone of housing in San Diego County. State law has steadily cleared the way, and for many homeowners an ADU pencils out better than a move-up purchase. The question is rarely whether; it is how, and how much.
Rental income
A well-placed unit can offset a meaningful share of your mortgage, or become a standalone income property on land you already own.
Multi-generational living
Give aging parents independence while keeping them close, or give adult children a real start without leaving the property.
Property value
A permitted ADU adds durable, appraisable square footage — and makes your home far more compelling to a future buyer.
Why homeowners work with Big House
Local expertise
We know Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Escondido and San Marcos zoning from the inside — what each city allows, and where the friction hides.
End-to-end guidance
Feasibility, design, permits, construction oversight and final support, coordinated by one team so nothing falls through the cracks.
Honest numbers
Clear cost ranges and realistic return projections up front, so you can decide with confidence instead of hope.
Trusted network
Architects, contractors and lenders we have actually worked with — not a list of names, a team that shows up.
How the process works
-
Initial consultation
We start with your goals and your property. What do you want the unit for, and what does the lot actually support? This sets the whole plan in motion.
-
Feasibility study
A detailed look at lot size, set-backs, zoning, utilities and design options — confirming what is possible before you spend on drawings.
-
Design & permitting
We shape a layout that fits how you live, then handle the drawings and permit submissions so the approval process moves smoothly.
-
Construction management
We coordinate vetted contractors, track the schedule and budget, and keep you updated at every milestone — no surprises.
-
Completion & support
Once your unit is finished we stay reachable for questions, adjustments and the small things that come up after move-in.
Common questions
How much does an ADU cost to build?
How long does the whole process take?
Do I need a big backyard?
Will an ADU really increase my home’s value?

Commercial Real Estate
Commercial property is a different game from residential — different math, different leases, different risks. Big House Real Estate works with business owners, investors and landlords across North County San Diego to acquire, sell, lease and manage commercial property with the numbers and the strategy to match.
Property types we work with
Office
Professional and medical office space for owners and tenants — from single suites to small multi-tenant buildings.
Retail
Storefronts and street retail positioned for local business, with an eye on traffic, exposure and lease terms.
Industrial
Warehouse and light industrial space, a scarce and durable asset class across North County.
Multi-family
Small apartment and mixed-use buildings for investors building long-term income and equity.
How we help
Buy & sell
Representation on acquisitions and dispositions, with valuation, underwriting and negotiation handled carefully.
Lease
Landlord and tenant representation — finding space, negotiating terms and structuring leases that protect your position.
Manage
Ongoing management of commercial assets: tenants, maintenance, collections and reporting.
Advise
Realistic cap-rate and cash-flow guidance so you buy and hold with discipline, not guesswork.
Why work with Big House
A commercial deal rewards preparation. We start with the fundamentals — the property, the market, the numbers — and build the strategy from there. You get clear underwriting, honest expectations and a broker who stays involved from the first tour to the closing table.
