AppleTree Real Estate on First Avenue in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill district holds DRE Corporation License #01944098 for acquisition, renovation, and resale of residential investment properties. The firm has cycled more than twenty properties through its buy-renovate-resell pipeline since 2011, structuring dispositions as IRC Section 1031 deferred exchanges through specialists like 1031 Capital Advisors in Bankers Hill. Each acquisition targets value-add residential assets in the 92101 ZIP code, applying full-gut renovations that bring dated floor plans, electrical panels, and plumbing to current California Residential Code. AppleTree's expanding development division coordinates ground-up residential projects with architecture firms such as Carrier Johnson + Culture in the Gaslamp Quarter for Title 24 energy-compliant design and city permitting. Highest-complexity renovations involve structural retrofit of pre-1970s wood-frame buildings with Simpson Strong-Tie hold-down hardware, upgraded 200-amp electrical panels, and full PEX re-piping to current seismic and plumbing standards.
