The Current Real Estate Market Offers many Great Values with lower prices and very favorable interest rates on home loans. The inventory of available homes gives you the home buyer many options to choose from as far as amenities, location, size and those things that are important to your needs. Many of the Homes on the Market are Still Receiving Multiple Offers as savy buyers are snapping up the best deals as soon as the property is placed on the market, This has caused much frustration for some buyers in the Murrieta California market as they have lost out on homes that … (13 comments)
best homes: Real Estate Values are a Matter of Opinion. Whose?
- 10/24/08 12:39 PM
The Value of a Particular Property has Always Been Interpreted Differently by the parties involved in the sale as each party looks from their own perspective. Always has been this way and always will be but are the values set by each person involved justified with Facts and how can each arrive at such different opinions looking at the same information? The Home Pictured Below Closed Escrow One Week Ago and as the listing agent for this Real Estate Owned (REO) property I was required to do a Brokers Price Opinion (BPO) as soon as I received the assignment from the … (19 comments)

One of Best Aspects of the Real Estate Business is is that it is a reflection of society as a whole in the fact we are are individuals and approach life and business in different ways but most times are looking for the same results and that is to be successful as we each define success. There is no perfect way to go about it and some ways work better than others, all involve hard work and perseverance, but what works for me may not work for you and vice versa.

Most of Us Have Heard The Story From Grandpa or Dad reminding us how good we have things nowadays as They had to walk 5 miles each way in the snow to get to School and each time the story was told the distance became further and further. My thoughts were usually "I'll listen out of Respect" but I'll totally ignore what your saying as times have changed Old Timer.

Some days Are Harder Than Others in this circus we call life and many things are out of our control as we are not always the Ringleader to the Show under the Big Top so we must deal with changes as they come our way and make the best of situations as they can and do change quickly.

When I Began My Real Estate Career back in the 80s I was fortunate enough to work for a large brokerage with 700+ agents working within 7 offices and many of the agents were the Top agents in the country and my office was one of three that had a weekly caravan of combined new listings that we previewed together. I learned very quickly that one agent in particular was the top of the top and she was best friends with my office manager and they always went on tour together so I would arrive early every week and ride with them. … (16 comments)

Many Real Estate Agents Have Taken A Look at the current market and seen that are thousands and thousands of REO properties currently listed for sale, thousands sold as well, by what seems to be only a handful of REO listing agents and for one reason or another complained it's not fair. It is true that some agents are carrying 100 + listings at any given time and there is an agent in my area who has 300+ properties available plus 200 in escrow with a team of 24 people many of whom are on a salary. Very expensive to say … (2 comments)
