Laura Baase founded Assistance With Real Estate, Inc. in Santee in 2005 and holds California DRE broker license #01314527, with a career in real estate sales and lending that dates to 1986. Her dual broker-and-senior-loan-consultant credentials mean buyers can handle purchase financing and representation through a single point of contact, and pre-listing cosmetic updates for seller clients often involve LVP and carpet replacement coordinated through Rayo Wholesale Floorcovering Supply on Woodside Avenue. Baase's short-sale transaction volume runs significantly above the San Diego County agent average, a specialization that serves distressed-property sellers and REO purchasers along the Mission Gorge Road corridor and the Mast Boulevard residential tracts near Mast Park. Her VA-loan expertise addresses the active-duty and veteran buyer population drawn to Santee's proximity to Mission Trails Regional Park and the Cowles Mountain trail system, and pre-sale perimeter fencing for lot-line compliance is handled through Balboa Fence Company on Airport Vista Road. Baase's brokerage covers first-time purchases, investor acquisitions, estate liquidations, and foreclosure-recovery transactions across the 92071 ZIP's single-family and condominium inventory.
