Eichler Buyers Collective & Archive Project

The Eichler Buyers Collective is a private acquisition and research group focused on California Eichler homes and related mid-century modern assets.

Created for serious buyers pursuing Eichler properties in competitive, low-inventory markets, the group centers on long-term research, strategy, and access to off-market or pre-market insights before public exposure.

Discussions include architectural lineage, floor plan evolution, ownership history, restoration considerations, and neighborhood-specific market dynamics.

The Collective is not a brokerage, syndicate, or investment vehicle. It operates independently as a private research group of buyers, architects, investors, and real estate professionals focused on Eichler homes.

Kevin Limprecht is a licensed real estate professional in California and Nevada. The Collective is separate from brokerage services and is not consumer-facing.

Participation is by referral or private inquiry only and is limited to individuals with a serious, long-term interest in Eichler ownership.

The Eichler Vault is a private archival research project focused on architecturally significant Eichler homes across California.

The archive tracks original floor plans, architect lineage, ownership history, remodel history, and documented provenance to identify homes with exceptional architectural integrity, rarity, and long-term significance — including privately held and off-market properties.

Built as an independent research and preservation framework, The Eichler Vault approaches Eichler homes as a finite architectural asset class rather than interchangeable real estate.

Establishing the exact pedigree of your home is the first step in preserving its historical and architectural integrity. Whether you are just beginning to explore your home's origins or already know your model number, documenting its exact provenance is essential. Beyond simple identification, understanding specific experimental variants—such as the early Anshen & Allen wing separations or the Jones & Emmons atrium integration tests—allows you to build an archival-grade record of your property.

Having this level of documentation serves as a vital tool for establishing a home's unique standing within its specific tract. By locating secondary identifiers and original design revisions, you create a comprehensive narrative of the home’s history. This detail is invaluable for ensuring the property is accurately represented in professional contexts and historical registries, providing you with a definitive "Thumbprint" for your Eichler.

At Eichler Vault, San Jose Eichler homes are analyzed through architectural lineage, floor plan evolution, atrium configuration, and structural provenance — not simply through square footage or retail comparable sales.

San Jose Eichler atrium models including the JE-84, JE-114, JE-22, JE-14, E-31, SJ-4, SJ-4D, MC-34, Model 24, 1103, 1504, 1534, and E-8 represent some of the most historically significant mid-century modern floor plan variants developed throughout Fairglen Additions and surrounding Eichler neighborhoods in San Jose, California.
