murrieta ca: A Home Warranty Brings Peace of Mind for Buyers and Sellers
- 07/31/10 01:47 PM
One inexpensive item that many home sellers and buyers overlook is a home warranty. Many real estate agents will bring up the subject of a home warranty to their clients in Murrieta California real estate transactions and most buyers at that point will want it to be included in their purchase offer. They see the benefit the home warranty affords them as should an appliance break down, a water heater go out etc it will be fixed by the insurance provider with little expense out of their pocket. Many sellers don't recognise the benefits the warranty provides them as usually the buyer asks the seller … (15 comments)
murrieta ca: Buying a Foreclosed Property in Murrieta Ca.? Read the Banks Real Estate Sales Addendum.
- 06/23/10 01:21 PM
Purchasing a Bank Owned Foreclosure, another term is REO, property is very different in many ways than a standard purchase. The sale will still proceed to escrow and Title Insurance, escrow instructions, funds deposited into escrow and things such as this will be the same. In a lot of ways things will be the same but buyers and their agents need to read the sellers addendum's and become familiar with them at the very beginning when your offer is accepted. When your offer is accepted the seller will generate their own Real Estate Addendum with the terms spelled out in it. These … (11 comments)
murrieta ca: Be Careful What You Ask For: You May Get It.
- 05/30/10 12:37 PM
In Real Estate transactions it is not unusual for a buyer to ask for an item to remain and become a part of the sale that is actually personal property of the sellers. An example of this would be the washer and dryer or maybe the refrigerator or a statue on the lawn. Buyers should be careful when making such requests as many times the seller may get offended as they feel the buyers want "My Stuff" or there is sentimental value they may place on an item. Years ago I represented a seller on a home in Murrieta California and when … (11 comments)

murrieta ca: Buying a Home? Get Your Plan Together.
- 11/06/08 11:30 AM
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)
murrieta ca: 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)
murrieta ca: The Media and Real Estate: A Toxic Relationship?
- 10/19/08 03:13 AM
All of Us Rely on the Media to Keep us Informed " Up To The Minute" on Current Events and the manner we receive this information varies from the Internet, Television and the old fashion Newspaper but the fact remains we all to a certain degree allow others to influence our opinions. What if the information we receive is slanted to fit the Ideals of the Reporter and how much influence does it have on the population as a whole? Does this create a mindset that influences people's attitude? You bet it does but do most people investigate the information to see … (65 comments)
murrieta ca: What Works for Me May Not Work for You!!!!!
- 10/13/08 05:15 AM
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. My Clients Vary across A broad Spectrum From first time buyers to multi millionaires, … (47 comments)

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.

- 09/29/08 11:23 AM
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)

- 09/24/08 06:53 PM
Much Has Been Written About ActiveRain Recently on the topic of it being a Real Estate site as opposed to a social site and many have given their opinion weighing in on both sides of the issue bringing valid points to each side but the debate will never be finished as ActiveRain is what each of us makes of it for ourselves individually. As for myself ActiveRain is the Best of Both Worlds as it allows me to reach out to the consumer and to also interact with other Real Estate Professionals, Lenders, Home Inspectors,Home Stagers and the list goes on and … (44 comments)
