Welcome home to Tulare, CA.
Let's find your spot.
I'm Justin Galindo — a licensed Tulare REALTOR who specializes in helping families buy and sell homes throughout Tulare, California. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, or an investor — I'll help you find your place in this welcoming, hardworking, hometown city.
A real hometown in the heart of the Valley.
Tulare, California is the kind of place where neighbors wave from their porches and high school football is still a Friday night event. Sitting just 10 miles south of Visalia in Tulare County, this welcoming city of around 72,000 residents has held onto everything that makes a hometown feel like a hometown — tree-lined streets, family-owned shops, Friday night ball games, and that easy, slow-down-and-say-hi pace of life you can't find in the bigger metros.
Tulare is also a powerhouse in agriculture. The world's largest outdoor ag exposition — the World Ag Expo — brings 100,000+ visitors here every February from over 70 countries. With the iconic milk-carton water tower, the International Agri-Center, and miles of dairies and farms surrounding town, Tulare proudly carries the title of Dairy Capital of the World.
The best part? You get all of this at a fraction of California's cost. The median home price in Tulare sits around $365,000 — well below the state average of $900K+ — and you can still get a real backyard, a real driveway, and real space for your family. Whether you're buying your first home in Tulare, growing into a bigger one, or selling to start your next chapter, I'd love to help. I know this market — the comps, the neighborhoods, the buyers — and I'll work hard for you.

Why families are choosing Tulare.
Tulare offers something that's getting harder and harder to find in California — an honest hometown where you can actually afford to plant roots.
Real California Affordability
A median price of just $365,000 — and you can still get a 3-4 bedroom home with a real backyard. That's $50K less than nearby Visalia and a fraction of California's $900K state median. Real value, real space, real California living.
The Heart of Agriculture
Home of the World Ag Expo and the iconic milk-carton water tower — Tulare is where farming, ranching, and dairying built California. That heritage isn't just history here; it's a living, breathing economy that gives this city stability you don't find everywhere.
Family-First Community
Award-winning schools through Tulare Unified, family parks like Del Lago and Mooney Grove, the Galaxy Luxury+ Theater, the Tulare County Fair, and the Adventist Health Amphitheater. Tulare puts families first — and it shows.
Easy Access to Everything
Right on Highway 99 with quick connections to Visalia (10 minutes), Fresno (50 miles), and Sequoia National Park (60 miles). Plus the Tulare Outlets right at home for Nike, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Kate Spade and more.
