To whom it may concern,
It has been brought to my attention that the homeowner of 2232 E, Olmstead Way in
Anaheim is seeking to obtain permits to allow the home to house 12 homeless men as a
residential care I'acility. As an Orange County realtor., I can aSSUrc you that this will
directly affect the value of the neighboring homes and the neighborhood as a whole.
According to the Association of Realtors, sellers/realtors are recommended to disclose
any residential care facility in the neighborhood with occupancy of greater than six
people to avoid being sued.. Based on my professional opinion, not only will this care
facility discourage potential buyers from purchasing the surrounding homes in the
neighborhood, it will also negatively affect the value of the entire neighborhood as a
whole once disclosed, and ultimately lead to a decrease in home values.
Speaking as a homeowner and a reattor in the neighborhood, a care facility with 12
unfamiliar homeless men, continually rotating with new men in and out, poses a threat to
safety fbr the neighbors and our children. Any buyer will be hesitant to move in to the
area due to this. In my professional opinion, it does not make sense to have a home
housing 12 homeless men at the end of a cul-de-sac, in a farnily neighborhood. A care
facility, such as this, should be housed in a multi -unit dwelling. For the sake ofthe
neighbors safety and the value of the neighboring homes,'l, highly discourage allowing
such a care facility.
Thank you.
Best,

To whom it may concern:
My name is Shawn Shahbazi, a real estate agent here in Anaheim California. I
have been selling homes for that last 23 years, primarily serving East Anaheim
neighborhoods and communities. I have been informed that the property owner
at 2232 E. Olmstead Way, Anaheim, is seeking to obtain permits in order to have
her house occupied by 12 adult homeless men.
By law we are not disclosing the presence of any State sponsored premises which
are occupying 6 people or less, however a home occupying 12 adult men should
be disclosed to potential buyers looking to buy a home in the same area. Any
buyer in his right mind will decline purchasing a home neighboring a property
occupied with 12 adult homeless men. Subsequently, this will have immediate
impact on the neighborhood value.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
