simi valley real estate: BALLET VERSUS REAL ESTATE! - 02/28/12 02:09 PM
As I sit here watching my precious granddaughter, Kyra, in her dance class, I notice nearby Simi East Valley properties that also house her friends in the class. I akin her dancing to the dance of real estate, a dance that we all get caught up doing.
I love watching Kyra. A child of seven puts a smile on her face and tiptoes and looks as graceful as can be. She loves dancing and tells me she wants to dance on stage. I'll assist in her quest wherever I can!!!
When we as adults dance with each other, there are times … (2 comments)

simi valley real estate: LOYALTY, NOT DISAPPOINTMENT - 01/18/12 11:32 AM
I had an opportunity this past weekend to show Wood Ranch homes to a couple who are past clients. They have purchased and sold a number of properties, both Simi Valley homes and in the San Fernando Valley. I found a new listing we've talked about for them to purchase as a rental. At some point in the next couple of years they would sell their Wood Ranch luxury home and move into this listing.
We viewed the listing and one or two others and they were excited about this community of highly upgraded Wood Ranch gated homes. We discussed several … (2 comments)

simi valley real estate: WHAT WILL 2012 BRING IN HOUSING? - 01/02/12 04:31 PM
Here's my take on the subject...
2011 was my best production year in five years, a 19% increase in my business. Do I believe 2012 will be different than 2011... you betcha! The goal is even more hefty, as I desire to have on my production sheet many more listings and sales than 2011.
Which brings me to the subject of YOU, my past client who has referred new business to me or purchased a new home from me or just passed out my card to your neighbor or friend. I REALLY, really appreciate that help.
In order to reach that … (3 comments)

simi valley real estate: Thanks for the referral - 12/02/11 05:34 PM
You know, just like my tag line states...I'm honored when someone refers a new client to me. Whether it's for a Simi Valley town home, Wood Ranch gated home, or something in Conejo Valley; a short hop from me. It's even more humbling when the referring party doesn't know me all that well. She asked her girlfriend for an opinion.
I wrote a blog recently about reputation and this definitely parallels that particular blog post. I would like to believe that my reputation in Simi Valley real estate precedes me and that is why this lady decided to send her friend … (0 comments)

simi valley real estate: WOW FOR MY CLIENTS! - 11/28/11 06:04 PM
Thanksgiving weekend was absolutely gorgeous in Southern California and
specifically, Ventura County and Simi Valley! 80 degrees both Saturday and
Sunday and I spent several hours both days visiting past clients and delivering
holiday gifts to their Simi valley homes.
What fun it was to see the children who want to show me their freshly decorated bedrooms
in their beautiful Wood Ranch townhomes and the moms who insist that I sit in the newly
remodeled kitchen for a cup of coffee. Some clients even feed me a slice of
their homemade pie or a new holiday recipe!
These visits … (0 comments)

simi valley real estate: Who Knows The Bottom Line? - 10/19/11 05:43 PM
I looked everywhere and am unable to find the real reason buyers are on the fence...they're sitting patiently, (impatiently for us!) waiting for Ventura County prices to drop more, looking at that Wood Ranch home seller to adjust pricing, waiting for the government to do something for them...waiting, waiting, waiting. Why?
Wouldn't it make sense that if a buyer is waiting for the prices to drop another, say,10%, that they make an offer on that Simi Valley foreclosure for 10% less...who knows if the bank will accept it. Stranger things have happened. My seller just accepted an offer for $20,00 less … (0 comments)

simi valley real estate: Words From The Wiser Than Me!? - 06/22/11 07:45 PM
So, friends, at our office meeting this morning, discussing Simi Valley real estate, these comments by our lenders and President/Owner, Brian Troop, are worth noting: First, there is a new loan that is stated income, 40% down payment...call me for more info. Second, interest rates aren't going to last at these low rates forever!!! Simi Valley property isn't going anywhere! It is anticipated by one of our government officials that in two years, interest rates may rise to the mid 7% range...Simi Valley properties, Wood Ranch luxury real estate or those of you involved in Simi Valley relocation will find good … (0 comments)

simi valley real estate: National Association of Realtors - 05/16/11 04:05 PM
While I am an avid supporter of organized groups and I firmly believe they do substantial good when only one person can't accomplish the same...this morning at our weekly MLS meeting everyone got into a tizzy that the National Association of Realtors' dues will be going up next year by a whooping $40... Do you even realize what the NAR does for us. If I had to lobby for Simi Valley real estate, Wood Ranch homes, rally for Simi Valley land for sale, Wood Ranch gated homes or Wood Ranch luxury homes, write letters and conduct meetings with senators, congressmen, etc., … (7 comments)

simi valley real estate: Are YOU Sitting On The Fence? - 03/23/11 12:06 PM
Do you think home prices with Simi Valley real estate or Wood Ranch homes are dropping any time soon?
If you buy a home today for, let's say, $400,000 and put down 5% down payment on a new loan of $380,000 at 5% interest rate, your principal and interest payment will be $2039.92.
If you wait a year to purchase a Simi Valley property and the interest rates are at 6%, the same home would have to sell for $357,000 to get the same mortgage payment. That means the home would have to drop nearly 11% in value from today's value. … (0 comments)

simi valley real estate: IS IT COMFORTABLE AT THE EDGE! - 12/22/10 11:33 AM
Simply said, Buyers need to own up to the fact that being at the edge of the cliff may be daunting. So, what to do? Jump into Simi Valley real estate...NOW!Yes, jump, I said! What are you waiting for? Interest rates to go down more. Prices to drop? Not with Simi Valley homes, Wood Ranch luxury homes or anything of the type here in Simi Valley. Let me tell you, folks, that being on the edge is no fun. Being on the edge is being indecisive. Being on the edge is procrastination. And being on the edge when deciding to buy … (4 comments)

simi valley real estate: Be Impeccable With Your Word! - 10/18/10 11:46 AM
I have just finished reading the book, "The Four Agreements" that brings me to this Blog. If I would have read this book years ago, how much easier I think life would have been. but we all know that life's lessons come at strange times. Whether it has to do with Simi Valley real estate or Wood Ranch luxury homes, lessons are always there This strange time came when our broker/president on our weekly Conference Call reminded me of his motto, "My Word Is My Bond." A lead balloon hit me in my mind...there are a few things in our lives … (3 comments)

simi valley real estate: Internet Buyers -- Positive Spins...Or Never Turn Away Referral Business! - 06/29/10 02:28 PM
I don't know about you, but I know that here in the Simi Valley real estate area, I am now seeing how the Internet (technology) affect how I do business. After all, my background (pre-real estate) was public relations...yes, face-to-face contact with all people...yet, I utilize all the facets of technology and I love it. But here's another take on it for you whether here in East Ventura County (Simi Valley properties, including Wood Ranch homes)...or elsewhere.
Let's take a positive spin on first-time homebuyers...one of my recent buyers, call him John, was a referral to me from a past client. … (3 comments)

simi valley real estate: PEOPLE, THERE ARE FOLKS OUT THERE WHO GO TO OPEN HOUSES TO STAKE THEM OUT! - 06/14/10 11:18 AM
Let me get this straight...I invite you to visit me at one of my Simi Valley luxury homes, I invest hours in putting together packets of material for you to carry off at no charge.
Yet last week when I was sitting an open at my Wood Ranch luxury home and I asked you, on behalf of the Seller, to sign the registry as a courtesy so the seller so they know who's been invading their home on a Sunday afternoon while they find a place to go for three or four hours...you say no, you sign some bogus name or … (1 comments)

simi valley real estate: PICKING THE RIGHT REALTOR - 02/09/10 10:42 AM
Remember when you were in grade school and lived in a Simi Valley home or elsewhere and your first day of school a teacher was assigned to you? All the horror stories you heard about him or her came to mind and you dreaded the first class...
Well, you are a big girl or boy now and you can choose your own realtor/consultant who will assist you in your, most likely, largest purchase of your life. How to go about it?
I believe the single most important reason to choose me, your Simi Valley realtor and Wood Ranch realtor specialist, is the self-confidence I exude to you … (0 comments)

simi valley real estate: DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! - 11/05/09 10:55 AM
We all tend to judge a person by how they look. We will also judge by the color of the skin, the tattoos on the arm, the way words are spoken, and a thousand other ways. When will we learn that we really are doing a disservice by judging a book by its cover. If I would have judged in the first year of my career, I would have missed out not only on a business relationship but also a fine friendship now for many years.
The whole family came into the high-priced Simi Valley real estate listing I was holding open. They looked like real … (1 comments)

simi valley real estate: TO BLOCK OR NOT TO BLOCK! - 09/29/09 12:11 PM
Okay, I admit it, I may be behind the times, but hear out this Simi Valley real estate agent..
Several years ago, it was recommended to me by my Wood Ranch REALTOR friend that I needed to put out my cell phone number and EVERYWHERE! Yeeks! Boy, did I resist. Why? Well, I had a private office phone, a very nice private office near all kinds of Simi Valley properties and Wood Ranch real estate and I was carrying a pager...do you remember the pagers? Well, I thought, if anyone needed me, they could reach me on one of those two or come into my office, … (5 comments)

simi valley real estate: Simi Valley and Wood Ranch Home Prices aren't falling. Don't wait to buy or you will be out of luck! - 09/09/09 06:03 PM
If you think home prices are going down...think again!!! Simi Valley properties, including Simi Valley condos, and Simi Valley real estate listings in general are not! I really don't believe they will and I also don't believe the banks are going to send a glut of foreclosure properties into our market. They would be foolish to do that.
Think about it! If they release a few properties at a time, they control prices. If they release a whole slew of them, inventory rises dramatically and it may become a buyers' market. Places like Wood Ranch real estate, which commands higher pricing, … (0 comments)

simi valley real estate: The Simi Valley Market is on a High - 08/10/09 01:32 PM
I really am feeling like the market is on a high...very low inventory, interest rates for buyers low, multiple offers on all properties in either Wood Ranch homes, Simi Valley real estate, whether it be Simi Valley bank owned, Simi Valley luxury homes or Simi Valley land for sale...as of last night there are only 165 homes for sale in the Simi Valley MLS, 60 for the Wood Ranch real estate and 84 for Moorpark. That's nothing...and you wonder why multiple offers. As we enter the final month of summer, you need to get started looking or listing. When you are ready, … (0 comments)
