Zone burglar systems are good when your home because they can be active in a room you don't frequent while you are in a different part of the house.

Hiding valuables in the bedroom is the first place a burglar will look.  Spread out your valuables in unsuspecting places like the garage, freezer or in removeable ceiling tiles or better yet in a safe that is attached to the hosue.

Big dogs unless trained don't make great guard dogs.  Get a smaller dog that is yappy and barks a lot will make a difference.

Keep windows clear of large bushes or objects that might hide someone trying to break into your home.

Put motion sensors on lights outside and inside your home.  You can also put lights in different parts of your house on timers to switch on and off at different times.

If you are going out of town tell a close friend or neighbor to pick up your newspaper.  You never know who will get the info if you tell your newspaper or mail delivery service that you wnat to put a hold on delivery for a week or more.

I hope these tips help you to discourage those out there who take advantage of others.  Remember that you'll never think it will happen to you but when it does you'll wish you had taken steps to discourage the invasion on your property.  This tips will in no means guarantee that a burglar will not target your property but they will sure help to discourage many of them that would otherwise make an attempt.

Stay safe....

Posting alarm signs at your property with details of the company can be a mistake.  Think about it a sign identifying the alarm company will give an experienced burglar the information needed to potentially disable your alarm.

All the burglar has to do is buy a diagram of how that particular system is wired and voila he's in.

The solution is to buy a generic sign from a home supply store that simply says, " This House Protected by An Alarm System"  As long as it doesn't give specific information it can be a good deterrent.

It can even be a good deterrent even if you do not have an alarm system installed.

Hopefull this will help protect your home.

June 25, 2009-The California Real Estate Commissioner, Jeff Davi, announced the issuance of a Consumer Alert by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) warning consumers about loan modification scams and informing consumers of what they can do to protect themselves.

"With so many people struggling to stay in their homes, foreclosure rescue scams have risen dramatically," DRE Commissioner Jeff Davi said. "The Consumer Alert will educate consumers and help homeowners avoid becoming victims to loan modification scams."

With new state and federal programs, as well as new laws and regulations in place, more and more loans are being successfully modified to keep homeowners in their homes. Earlier this week, the California Department of Corporations released the results of its first quarter survey of mortgage servicers, which showed that there have been more modifications during the first three months of 2009 than there were at the same time last year. While it is welcome news that more Californians are remaining in their homes, it is also important for consumers to make sure they understand their options in regards to loan modifications. The Consumer Alert can be a valuable resource, especially since unscrupulous operators are looking to take advantage of vulnerable consumers.

Loan modification scams are worrisome and widespread. Last July, the DRE had fewer than 10 complaints involving loan modification companies; today the department has 750 pending investigations. In addition, since last October the DRE has filed over 200 Desist and Refrain Orders and Accusations involving loan modification scams and the list of offenders continues to grow. A list of the companies and persons the Department has filed an action against can be viewed at http://www.dre.ca.gov/cons_drs.asp.

Enforcement efforts are not enough; consumer education is the key to preventing any further fraud. The Consumer Alert contains important information on how consumers can protect themselves against unscrupulous providers who collect advance fees promising financially stressed borrower's relief, but instead, do little or nothing. The alert also provides information on where to report fraud and what resources may be available to victims of fraud to recover losses suffered at the hands of illegal or incompetent operators.

It is worth noting that not all firms who collect advance fees for loan modification services do so illegally. In general, only licensed real estate brokers and attorneys operating within the scope of their license may collect advance fees. Real estate brokers must have their advance fee agreement reviewed by the DRE prior to its use to ensure it is compliant with the Real Estate Law.

The Commissioner encourages all consumers to log on to DRE's website at http://www.dre.ca.gov/mlb_adv_fees.html to check out any real estate broker wanting an up-front fee in exchange for loan modification help. Be aware, even real estate brokers with compliant advance fee agreements are prohibited from collecting advance fees for loan modification services involving a property against which a Notice of Default has been recorded.

No person is required to pay a third party for a loan modification. A consumer can simply call his or her lender or use the services of a nonprofit housing counselor. Commissioner Davi encourages consumers to visit the DRE's website for information on loan modifications. "Log on, look ‘em up and check ‘em out" to ensure that a company wanting an advance fee is properly licensed and can legally collect an advance fee before they sign on the dotted line.

TOP  REASON WHY A HOME MAY NOT SELL

1. IMPROPER PRICING
2. NOT PROVIDING EASY ACCESS 
3. POOR HOUSEKEEPING
4. FAILURE TO MAKE REPAIRS
5. POOR STAGING 
6. LACK OF GOOD MARKETING 
7. EMOTIONAL DECISIONS 
8. NOT UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET 
9. UNQUALIFIED PROSPECTS 
10. CHOOSING THE WRONG AGENT OR NOT USING ONE AT ALL!

Sometimes we wonder why our home does not sell and usually your agent will let you know why.  If not then maybe the list above can be helpful.

The business of selling your home is just that ...a 'Business'.  If your agent is letting you know what the issues are then you should listen and follow through accordingly if it is feasible.

Your agent is there to help sell your home and they know how to get the job done.

Here are some very good and simple steps to take before you decide to put your home on the market.  A first impression can really make a big difference to a buyer when they are considering several properties.  More so than ever, especially in this market, buyers have so many options.  If price is constant you have to find a way to make your home better than the others out there.

1. Thoroughly clean house & windows  

2. Paint should look fresh inside & out  

3. (Less IS More) Get rid of clutter & bulky furniture  

4. Make your front door welcoming w/ mats, flowers etc.   

5. Make sure your rooms are spotless always   

6. Make sure your closets are tidy ready to be seen   

7. Eliminate bad smells with diffusers, flowers & candles   

8. Steam clean carpets if needed    

9. Have your agent assist you with staging your home prior to pictures   

10. For security put away any valuables, medications etc

If you have any questions please call or email me....

There are so many great realty groups out there.  I've been involved with several of the biggest franchises in the real estate industry and can say they proved to be beneficial in several ways.  The training offered for new agents was always great for newbies but for the experience I had I seemed to always be looking for more. 

A big part of belonging to a franchise always included a franchise fee which I was always trying to justify.  "Am I getting the direct sales because of this company to justify the added costs from my commission"?

Then switching to groups with high commission returns without franchise fees maed more sense to me but for a new agent those groups didin't offer a good training option.  There are numerous f'for profit' training groups out there that are not associated with a franchise that offer a solid base for new agents.  I have seen a couple of them and they each offer tools to help a new agent.

In this real estate climate as well as the new wave of technology that so many people are utilizing we need to adjust to find the right fit for our individual needs. 

I have come across a new group who are now in over 15 states and growing quickly.  They offer a technology package which includes website, email, virtual tours, transaction management software, enhanced listings at www.Realtor.com, training and much more all for a low fee of $30/month.  I currently spend well over $400 per month for similar products.

Not only do they offer training for new agents but also a different way to make an income from referring others to the group.  There are existing companies which have grown well over the last few years with a similar concept but offer a profit sharing formula where one can earn a piece of reffered agents deals if the company makes a profit that month.  This is great but a little different than this new company.

This new group actually offers a residual income by payiong 5% of every deal your referred agents close so if the national average is $6500 per deal and the average agents closes 5-6 deals a year then from that one agent you would actualize a return of almost $2000 from one referred agent.  The amazing thing is if those agents you referred also refer agents then you also get a referral fee of 5% on every one of those referred agents.

I think this is the new wave in real estate that is just now starting to swell.
