real estate: Where are you? - 11/13/09 03:32 PM
As we approach the end of the year we always begin mapping out our projected course for next year in the way of our business plan. A core concept of motivational and management training in our office is to identify goals. However, there is a more basic need. First must accurately identify your current location. If you don’t know where you are, you will have absolutely no idea how to get where you want to be.
Setting goals is wonderful! You cannot successfully lead a family, business or nation without them, but in order to reach the goal, you need a … (10 comments)

real estate: Government to try it's hand in Property Management - 11/13/09 11:16 AM
The Government has tried it's hand in the mortgage industry, insurance business, the banking industry, and health care, but they are now branching out to include trying their hand as property managers as well via Fannie Mae.
Fannie Mae just announced last week that they will begin offering a brand new concept of a "Deed for Lease™" program. They have had deed in lieu of foreclosure or short sale, but the new program is different. It allows the borrowers to voluntarily transfer their property back to the lender and then lease the property back from them at the current market rate. … (3 comments)

real estate: Is the madness going to end when school starts back up? - 08/28/09 03:56 PM
I have been recently asked this question and many similar questions recently. My answer to them have been fairly straight forward, but I believe it to be true.
Q: Is the Real Estate Madness going to end when school starts back up?A: No, I don't believe it will. The current market we are in now began forming almost a year ago to create the artifical real estate market we are in now.
Residential Real Estate prices rose marginally for the past three-to-four months, and I expect this trend not only to continue but actually SPIKE just before the credit falls off. … (4 comments)

real estate: West Covina's Artificial Real Estate Market - 08/21/09 03:27 PM
West Covina, CA- Prices have been low and demand has been high ever since the Government introduced the first time home buyers credit. Anyone who passed High School economics with a C should be able to tell you the price is going to go up, and IT HAS already begun to rise over the past three months. The inventory has been steadily declining ever since the government implemented the 90-day moratorium on Foreclosures, and exacerbated the already slow foreclosure process by putting the burden of showing they offered a work-out option for the current owner.
The high demand was artificially created … (1 comments)

real estate: What's my Home worth? - 04/10/09 03:37 PM
Oh the age of technology... Automated computer generated Comparative Market Analysis and neighborhood profiles complete with aerial footage delivered at "high speeds" direct to our fingertips. Although they're still off, I must admit they have come along way... To the point where I was at my client's house last night and as we went over the printed materials I brought they wanted to double check it against this web-site... I laughed and thoroughly did enjoy seeing their excitement and enthusiasm as they perused the neighborhood from an aerial map that showed rough property boundary lines, and as they pulled up recent … (0 comments)

real estate: Dedermining the value of your home? - 02/03/09 07:45 PM
What's My home worth?
Determining the Value of your home is an important step in pricing your home. If you list your home too high you'll miss the first two weeks of activity, and potentially miss out on that hot, willing, ready and able buyer.
It could also just be used to request to pay less in taxes. Perhaps you just have an interest in Real Estate, and stumbled upon this page out of curiosity. Regardless, if you came here for information you can read on in confidence that you will get it. (To skip the learning and just request … (0 comments)

real estate: You'll Just have to kick the door down - 06/07/08 05:08 PM
We can not be complacent, to stand at the threshold of success merely waiting for "something" to happen or for someone else to open the door to start running and moving forward.
Instead, take a few steps back. Evaluate which doors you are waiting to open. Determine which are the most realistic and which ones you are willing to be the most committed to. Get your own running start and kick down the door, be the first to enter and the momentum that carried you through this barrier will inevitably carry you ahead of your competition giving you the edge... … (2 comments)

real estate: Smoking = undermining your investment - 06/07/08 03:11 PM
This blog is my response to Vincent Martinez's blog Getting rid of cigarette smoke smells.
When reading the title of this blog I entered to read with the predisposition that it would be addressing the buyers side of it. I found it refreshing to be on the listing side, and I have found that my smoking clients understand and have been cooperative going the extra mile to smoke outside and do some extra cleaning for open house days.
However, I can't blame buyers from walking away from a home that carries the smell of smoke. It is VERY difficult to rid … (20 comments)
