San Luis Obispo · Santa Barbara · Fresno Counties

Real estate investment, rooted in the Central Coast.

Casa Fresco is a private investment company that partners with property owners and investors across residential, commercial, and industrial real estate — on California's Central Coast, and now in Fresno County.

Who We Are

A broker and a builder, investing their own capital.

Casa Fresco is a private investment company working two California regions — the supply-constrained Central Coast and the Central Valley around Fresno. We buy residential, commercial and industrial property, underwrite each against the constraints that actually govern it, and build the work ourselves.

Behind the company are a licensed California real estate broker and a licensed contractor. That combination is the point: we can source a deal, price the construction, and stand behind both numbers.

Work With Us

Three ways in. One standard of execution.

Whether you're holding a property with potential, want to sell one without the listing circus, or have capital looking for a home — we keep everyone's interests on the same side of the table.

Path 01

Partner on Your Project

You own — or have found — a property with a project in mind. We bring capital, underwriting, entitlement work and our own construction crews, and you keep exposure to the upside instead of selling it at today's price.

How partnering works →
Path 02

Sell to Us Directly

No listing, no showings, no repairs. Tell us about the property and we make a written, as-is offer backed by our own capital — on your timeline, in either region.

How a direct sale works →
Path 03

Invest in Our Projects

We source and underwrite our own opportunities across both regions. Qualified investors participate deal by deal, alongside our own capital, in local assets you can drive past — not a blind pool.

What We Buy

Four strategies, chosen for these markets.

Across residential, commercial, and industrial property, our strategies are built around what can actually be entitled, built, and rented in each region.

ADU & Unit Additions

Legal units added to under-utilised residential parcels, built by our own crews.

Land & Infill Development

Buildable lots in towns where housing demand outstrips supply — and we know the value traps.

Commercial & Industrial

Tired retail, office, industrial and flex bought below replacement cost, then repositioned.

Multifamily Value-Add

Small multifamily with renovation, added units, and operational upside.

Where We Work

Two regions. Two very different opportunities.

Supply-constrained coastal markets where value is created through entitlement and construction — and a Valley market where it's created at the purchase price.

The Central Valley

Fresno County & the San Joaquin Valley

Coastal multifamily trades at 4.25–5.5% cap rates; Fresno trades at 5.5–6.5%. That spread is why exchange capital moves east over Highway 46 — and why we buy and build there.

Broker + Investor + Contractor

We don't just fund the work.

Two capabilities most investment firms have to buy from somebody else.

We build it ourselves

Renovations, ADUs and ground-up construction run through our own licensed California general (B) and plumbing (C-36) operation. No contractor markup stacked on the budget, no schedule held hostage to someone else's backlog, and numbers that come from a builder rather than a spreadsheet.

In-house construction →

We can tell you what it's worth

Our brokerage side holds Realtor association and MLS membership in both regions, so a valuation rests on verified local sales rather than a national estimate. Broker price opinions from a licensed broker; formal appraisals coordinated through licensed independent appraisers.

1031 Exchanges

Under a 1031 exchange deadline?

Identifying the right replacement property on a fixed timeline is where exchanges succeed or fail. Tell us your price range, property type and income target, and we put continuous MLS screening to work across both regions — then hand you underwritten candidates, not a raw listing dump.

We coordinate with your qualified intermediary and tax advisor. Casa Fresco does not provide tax or legal advice.
