About

Renovate San Diego in eastern Chula Vista is a real estate development firm incorporated as an LLC in February 2020, specializing in as-is cash acquisitions and property rehabilitation across San Diego County from its Lane Avenue headquarters. Title-clearing and contract-review work on distressed acquisitions routes through real estate attorneys at Correa Law Firm, APC, whose practitioners handle lien-release negotiations, deed-in-lieu documentation, and quiet-title actions that precede the firm's renovation timeline. The company's acquisition model provides sellers with cash offers typically delivered within 24 hours of initial contact, eliminating appraisal contingencies, lender-approval delays, and buyer-financing fall-through risk on properties ranging from deferred-maintenance single-family homes to vacancy-burdened multifamily buildings. A team combining more than 50 years of collective real estate and construction experience — led by CEO Guillermo Cardona alongside a director of construction, asset manager, and accounting staff — manages each project from acquisition through renovation to disposition. Post-acquisition interior redesign draws on staging and layout consultation from Dennison Interior Design, whose space-planning recommendations optimize room flow, fixture placement, and finish selections to target the resale buyer's price expectations in each submarket. Highest-complexity projects involve full gut-rehabilitation of pre-1978 structures requiring lead-paint abatement under EPA RRP Rule certification, asbestos-containing-material survey and remediation, and Title 24 energy-compliance upgrades before the renovated property re-enters the MLS.
