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)

west covina: 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)

west covina: Make your first year a pleasure instead of a burden - 11/12/09 01:23 PM
Every year hundreds of home buyers in our area purchase homes with problems, and then spend money on repairs that they did not expect. This can be both expensive and frustrating. There are many, many pitfalls from expensive air conditioning problems to a dishwasher going bad.
Even if you have the proper inspections, you are not protected from unforeseen problems. There are warranty plans available to every home buyer that cover everything from plumbing to roofing problems. Saving the expense of an unforeseen repair can make your first year in that new home a pleasure instead of a burden.
There are … (4 comments)

west covina: West Covina Housing Market Imperviously Marches on - 10/27/09 01:29 PM
West Covina, CA- According to the C.A.R. “2009 First-time Home Buyers Tax Credit Survey”, four out of ten (39 percent) first-time home buyers said they would not have purchased a home if the federal tax credit for first-time home buyers was not offered. I know most media reporters say this as a BAD thing, and a sign that the buyers will go back into hiding after they disappear. However, 60% of the first time home buyers are still planning to purchase a home EVEN IF they don't get the First-Time Home Buyers Tax Credit.
Since most homes listed in West Covina … (0 comments)

west covina: 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)

west covina: West Covina | It's a Seller's Market!!? - 06/13/09 02:41 PM
When I tell most people that West Covina IS a seller's market; they tend to nod and then try to correct that it is a buyer's market. I smile and assure these people that although it is still a great time to buy, it is certainly no buyers market...
A buyer's market is indicative of a high inventory (over 7 months) which would mean that the buyers would have a large quantity to choose from, and they could afford to be more picky. A neutral housing market is when the supply is between 5-7 months inventory available, which would make for … (0 comments)

west covina: Don't buy from Strangers! - 11/06/08 07:18 PM
I receive a phone call from a past client. She informs me that she is looking to buy a property, and that she is very excited (as she should be). She goes on to declare that she wants to work with me and my team (GREAT!), and that she is looking in San Diego.(not my territory)
Because it is very important to work with a Buyers agent that is familiar with and knowledgeable with the local community I go into my referral scripts. After having this conversation with her, and going through the benefits of working through a referral it hit … (1 comments)

west covina: 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)

west covina: 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)
