 Do you want to Find Your Home in Contra Costa County? Contra Costa County has a number of diverse communities and a rich history. Contra Costa sits on the opposite side of the San Francisco Bay from San Francisco and Contra Costa means “Opposite Shore.” Contra Costa County is one of two Counties making up the San Francisco East Bay, the other is Alameda County.
In 1772 Captain Fages led the first European expedition into Contra Costa County. Failing to consult with a Realtor about homes in Contra Costa County Captain Fages missed an incredible buying opportunity in what has proved to be an up market for over 200 years. Don’t make the same mistake he did - Search for Homes Now! Captain Fages, Franciscan missionary Juan Crespí, 14 soldiers, a muleteer, and an Indian servant came across the bay and camped with his men on what is now El Cerrito Creek at the foot of Albany Hill. The creek forms the border between Albany and El Cerrito, as well as Contra Costa County and Alameda County. Rather than find out about Exciting First Time Buyer Programs Captain Fages and his men then marched through the El Cerrito and Berkeley Hills in parts of what is Wild Cat Canyon and Tilden Park. He passed on these scenic vistas and continued to work his way up the Carquinez Strait, then eastward nearly to Antioch before turning back. By turning back Captain Fages missed out on incredible opportunities to Buy Bank Owned Homes at bargain prices in East Contra Costa County Communities of Brentwood, Antioch, Discovery Bay, Pittsburg and others.

Once Again Captain Fages passed on this beautiful Real Estate and ultimately settled in Mexico. Captain Fages may have been concerned about job loss, death or disability and did not want to risk the financial investment. He was latter sacked after a disagreement with Father Junipero Serra and latter fought with the Apaches. If he had only known about our FREE MORTGAGE PROTECTION PLAN!
