paso robles: Important questions to ask when buying a home: - 01/12/13 07:42 AM
 Important questions to ask when buying a home:
Why is it that some beautiful homes in our area seem to be on the market far too long?
Why do some of our neighbors seem to settle for less than their home is worth?
Your agent matters and I know you have a choice. 
You deserve a real estate agent who will sell your home for the most money, with as little hassle as possible.

paso robles: San Luis Obispo County Real Estate Market 2012 - 04/02/12 03:36 AM
We are clearly in a transitional market. In the beginning of 2012 we had  4.2 months of inventory  which is down from the high of 24 months in 2008. The coast, San Luis & South County show less inventory as well, but not to the extent we do in North County.
This is good news for home owners thinking about selling. If your thinking of buying its not too late. Interest rates are still low and with rentals scarce and the price of rentals going up many are looking to make their first home purchase.
I always offer a Free Market … (0 comments)

paso robles: Commission fees - 11/13/08 12:43 AM
I just read an article that was done by Consumers Report: It states that's of the 11,000+ people who sold or tried to sell their home over 70% were successful in negotiating the agents fees. Some fees were as low as 3 or 4 %. Most of the sellers were just as happy as if they had paid a higher rate of commission.
I pose two questions wrong with this article, one, How quickly did this home sell and Two, As agents how do you feel about cutting you commission's?
