Buyers, sellers, investors, welcome back to another installment of Real Estate Jargon – simple explanations of real estate terms.  Today, we’re going to look at “interim occupancy.” Have you ever needed to close escrow and be out of a home you’re selling before you can close escrow on the purchase of a new home?  If so, you may have two options when it comes to where you will live during the time in between: 1.     Move in with your mother-in-law temporarily 2.    Ask the seller of the home you’re buying if you can move in early and pay rent until escrow closes For most men, Option 1 is total humiliation. If the home you’re buying is vacant or the seller is moving out early, Option 2 might work.  If you and the seller agree, you can create a form of tenancy called “interim occupancy.” ...

  So I left my Midtown Palo Alto home this morning with my Labradoodle Demi for our morning run. We ran by El Carmelo Elementary where she was admired by parents and children, then stopped to give her friend Luna, a wild yellow lab, a big kiss and a treat. Down Bryant to Demi's niece Mowgli's house. Of course we had to stop to say hi to Mowgli and get another treat. Across Oregon to the frontage road and we had stop to say hi to Teddy, a huge goldendoodle who loves our organic chicken treats from Pet Food Express in the Piazza's shopping center. From there we went to the corner of High and Oregon and the rat terrier on the roof barked his head off at Demi. Of course Demi had to stop and  try to stare the dog down. Through the park and underpass to California Ave, and then Demi had to st...
