Redwood City Real Estate     With the gold rush pioneers came the need for lumber to build piers, shingles and buildings. By 1849 the huge trees in the hills near present day Woodside and Portola Valley started providing lumber year round. A local creek provided a place for semi-deep water shipping out of the south bay. Logs and lumber were hauled by horse and mule trains to about where the intersection of Middlefield and Broadway are located today. Lumber ships took the wood down the creek and up the bay to where it was needed in places like San Francisco and Sacramento. Today our port is the only deepwater port in the south San Francisco Bay providing access for dry and liquid bulk, as well as outstanding recreational opportunities.     By 1856, the community became the county seat of San Mateo County eleven years before it was officially incorporated. There are some historical homes that may be of interest to history buffs: One is the Lathrop House, a mansion built in 1863, now a post-Civil War museum on Hamilton Street. Another is the Filoli home built in the early 1900's located on Canada Road. It is on a 654 acre property with magnificent gardens that have rare trees, plants and flowers. It is open to tourists part of the year. If you feel our community might have the right home for you, feel free to contact us. We would be happy to show you the local neighborhoods. Listing agents have written contracts with sellers promising to get the highest possible price for homes. Why on earth would someone call listing agents for information about homes? Are you looking for a house or condo, land, or any other residential property on the market for sale?  Our company does not market homes for sellers. We provide full agency representation for buyers with no conflict of interest! Multiple listings are only a portion of the homes you will see. Learn about the rest of the available properties not on MLS, such as bank owned, foreclosures, and for sale by owner. Learn how to avoid pitfalls when buying a home. When teaming up with one of our professionals, service will exceed your expectations. You'll enjoy many home purchasing tips, local information, recreation, loans, current market conditions, search all communities of interest to you, learn how to get good deals, and find the best and avoid the worst neighborhoods.
