real estate: Is Irvine Ready for the Rich and Single? - 07/22/09 05:37 PM
Saw this article today in the O.C. Register and have to agree.   Though the city of Irvine is often described as a "family" town, it is a sought after home location for many singles. As noted in the article, 33% of the residents are single!

Here are three examples of why my single clients like it:
Location to the 405/5 freeways provides easy commuting to work and other social communities such as Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, etc. Excellent community amentities with shops, restaurants, movies, sports, etc. Design of homes are geared toward a more active lifestyle vs. traditional homes.  Open living … (0 comments)

real estate: Economy Hitting Single Women Hard! - 10/23/08 01:00 AM
Received this great information on the how the current Economy is impacting Single Women and the numbers are surprising. For more detailed information, check out one of my favorite web-sites www.WVWV.orgMake sure the person and or people you are voting for in your community are taking these figures into account. Personally, I think little has been spoken about Singles and if there has been any discussion it is not normally with Single Women. Yet is is a huge demographic that should not be overlooked.

What is Loss Mitigation? It allows for Negotiations on your behalf with your lender.  This is not a new loan and won’t change your home title.  It’s the process of engineering a solution for both the Homeowner and Lender.
But it is not as simple as a phone call to your lender, if you have tried to go to them for help then you understand.  The process is made possible by a deep understanding of Lending guidelines, Lender protocol and procedures, knowledge of State and Federal laws and regulations; focusing on … (0 comments)

real estate: If owning a home is not all the important then why all the anxiety? - 09/30/08 03:12 PM
The answers lie within the fact that your home, yes is an aspect of financial security, but more importantly represents a life!  So as with any loss, comes profound sadness and high anxiety. 
Many are living in quiet desperation, realizing that something has to give, but loosing your home, represents more then moving, so we try to hold on. Trying to deal with increased Interest Rates or Monthly Payments, Negative Equity, Lower Property Values, looming Mortgage Resets, living on Credit to make ends meet and it all becomes a vicious cycle.
So where do you turn, many decide just to … (2 comments)

real estate: Importance of Proper Pricing, When Listing Your Lake Forest Home! - 04/02/08 10:54 PM
If you are considering listing your home, one of the most difficult decisions you will have to make will be how to price it. Proper pricing is the key to getting your home sold and providing you with the greatest profit.
The first thing to know is your Realtor® does understand that you want the most profit possible.  Secondly that it is your “home” so there are a lot of emotions tied to it.
When it comes down to figuring out how to price it your Realtor® will guide you in determining what is happening in your local market. … (0 comments)

real estate: My Piece of the American Dream - What's Yours? - 03/26/08 02:57 PM
This has been a tough year for many in the country and housing has led the headlines with a constant negative stream.  I admit it, I can easily become addicted to the news and when I speak with family and friends as they look at us with questions and concerns and the occasional "Things must be tough, how are you holding up" it can bring me down. So, I thought it was important to remind myself of why I love real estate.  
I love the freedom it brings!
I love helping individuals, families establish roots and build a community!

real estate: Orange County FHA Loan Limits Increase- YEAH! - 03/06/08 12:43 PM
Great news, the new FHA loan limits were released today, ahead of schedule, with little fan-fair.
The new limits for Orange County are:
Single Family Residences: $729,750*2 Family Residences: $934,200*3 Family Residences: $1,129,250*4 Family Residences: $1,403,400 
Single Family Limits for San Diego were increased to $629k and for Riverside they were increased to $500k.
Now it will take a little time to filter down, but this temporary increase, will certainly help home buyers have access to better jumbo loans, which was previously set at $417,000 and help with down payment requirements, currently FHA down payments are at 3%. As well, this should build some … (3 comments)
