connor macivor: If you can make them laugh they will buy :-) - 10/25/10 05:12 AM
 
Are your postcards just "Blah..." - I know most Real Estate Agents have a funny side to them.  Heck, we are still at it in this current market - We must have a funny streak a mile wide.
When doing mailings, if you still are, door hangers or other types of hand to home deliveries - Think Funny.  When people are taking a second look and laughing, it just might be what the doctor ordered to get them to pick up the phone to call.

connor macivor: How is the market in the cities within the Santa Clarita Valley on September 10, 2010? - 09/10/10 06:21 AM
Probably not much different than the rest of the country.  We are seeing a lot of buyers, in this current market, backing out of real estate transactions.  Some of this trauma can be directed to stricter lending requirements.  Others are speaking about the current state of the Real estate market and not wanting to jump in until it settles a bit.
Either way, we are watching as sellers are reducing their prices and buyers are reading more intel on the real estate market.  AS Paris always says to our new buyers, 'you are not buying a pair of shoes...'

connor macivor: Trulia is also a FREE service for Realtors and Vendors worth looking at!!! - 09/05/10 04:45 PM
If you are doing regular internet searches for Real Estate by the Keywords that are the highest ranked in your particular real estate market, then you want to do your best to go after the top results.
If one of those top results is something you can join and add your two cents to, then I think you should.
It does not take much to become effective in the internet blogging world, in fact, persistence pays off big dividends.

A loaded Question - what is the difference between qualification and afford in Real Estate?  Whether you are thinking of purchasing a home in the Santa Clarita Valley (Valencia etc.) or elsewhere in our Surrounding communities in Southern California - the answer to this Riddle needs to be known.

connor macivor: Val Verde Real Estate and Homes for Sale - 04/27/10 11:05 PM
Val Verde California had humble beginnings and is considered by most to be a part of the Santa Clarita Valley.  Located just west of Castaic California – about a five minute drive – it has less strict building codes and consists of a multitude of horse properties.

There is a Valencia Spain - but I would like to talk about Valencia California.  Valencia CA is located within the city of Santa Clarita and is just minutes north of Los Angeles.
Not minutes on those misleading maps that some new housing entities draw up making everything appear convenient, but actually 13 minutes from Osborne and the 5 freeway, which is Van Nuys.
That is driving time at the speed limit of course :-)
Valencia is loaded with some of the best public and private schools around.  It has the Valencia Town Center Mall and housing running the span between … (0 comments)
