real estate: Buyers are coming out of the woodwork... - 01/12/09 04:35 PM
With the Holidays behind us, buyers are back on the Real Estate scene scoping out the new inventory. This weekend I held a home in SSF open. I had over 65 groups come through and even ran out of fliers & ended up staying well after 4pm as buyers kept showing … (1 comments)

real estate: Mixing Business with Pleasure... Does it mix? - 12/05/08 11:31 AM
Have you ever felt obligated to use a family member when it came to a business deal? While most of us have, has it ever left you wondering if that was the best decision? In some cases, it is an ideal circumstance. While in others it may be an uncomfortable situation … (1 comments)

real estate: Christmas come early... - 11/19/08 12:29 AM
 As we approach the holiday season,  while everyone else is immersed in cooking the Thanksgiving Turkey and getting up at dawn to get those Holiday discounts on the season's hottest new toy you can take advantage of the season's best toy... a house!
In the last few months competition has been fierce … (1 comments)

real estate: Is it a good time to move up? - 11/19/08 12:25 AM
Everyone's question these days seems to be "Is now the right time to buy"? I have come up with a chart that helps you make the decision if now is the right time to buy!
 
              Current Home                                                                                     New Home

real estate: Short Sales arrrhhhhhh!!! - 10/22/08 04:21 PM
I can't wait for the day that short sales fall off the face of the planet! Many of my clients whom I have said before are first time home buyers. Sadly this means that I am writing what seems like hundreds of offers on short sales! I cringe everytime I check … (4 comments)

real estate: FHA is alright in my book - 10/20/08 05:20 PM
Most of my clientele are first time home buyers... some may say that isn't the best database to have, but I think it is definitely the most rewarding.
I am a firm believer in FHA as that is all I have encountered in the last several months. Because my buyers have … (2 comments)

real estate: Social Media... is it really beneficial? - 10/17/08 05:31 PM
As technology has sped up in the last few years, Realtors really have had to beef up those skills in order to create new ways of marketing to capture leads and build their business. My question is how beneficial is it and how much time does one need to spend in order … (1 comments)

real estate: FHA Loans - 05/04/08 07:20 PM

Why Choose FHA?

FHA Loan Limits
1 unit $729,750
2 unit $934,200

real estate: In this Business, you have to be a go getter! - 03/29/08 10:22 PM
What do you do when your phone stops ringing and your pipeline has dried up? In the recent month I have not been getting as many appointments as I would like and with one escrow closing and not one being opened, I started to panic!
As I have mentioned in a … (12 comments)

real estate: The Real Estate Storm - 03/29/08 09:50 PM
I have been in Real Estate for a little over three years now. Being a "newbie" to the industry is a long hard road and I am proud to say I conquered it! I definitely have a better appreciation for fellow Realtors (good ones anyways) then I ever did before entering the business! … (8 comments)

real estate: Auctions... are they really a "good deal"? - 03/01/08 05:32 PM
I really don't understand what all the buzz is about concerning homes that have been foreclosed on and going to auction. There was recently an auction held in San Mateo County and the 4 homes that were being auctioned in San Mateo county all sold for basically what they would have … (2 comments)

real estate: Buyers are starting to come out of the wood work... - 03/01/08 05:07 PM
The last couple of days for me have been super busy with buyers that have been on the fence for months now. Either something is in the air, or buyers are starting to realize it is definitely time to take advantage of the "slow" market.
I have had 5 buyers appointments … (4 comments)
