ADUs & Ground-Up Construction
Accessory Dwelling Units · New builds · Lot development · Added value
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is one of the smartest ways to add income, flexibility, and lasting value to a Bay Area property — and building from the ground up is one of Jerome Leonard's specialties. From a backyard cottage to a full new build, Jerome helps owners and investors turn land and potential into finished, profitable real estate.
Why an ADU?
California has made ADUs easier than ever to build, and the upside is real: rental income, space for family, and a meaningful lift to your property's value. Whether you want a long-term tenant, a place for loved ones, or a stronger resale down the road, an ADU can pay for itself many times over.
Building real estate from the ground up
Jerome doesn't just sell homes — he understands how they get built. With hands-on experience in ground-up construction, he guides clients through lot analysis and feasibility, working with architects, builders, and lenders, navigating permits, and positioning the finished property for maximum value, whether you keep it or sell it.
What Jerome handles
Feasibility and ROI analysis for ADUs and new construction, lot and parcel acquisition, connecting you with trusted ADU builders and architects, guidance through the permitting process, and the marketing and sale of new builds and ADU-equipped homes — backed by 22+ years and more than $500 million in Bay Area transactions.
