riverside real estate homes for sale: Check Out My Latest Music Video! - 06/12/18 11:06 PM
That's right...I said "Music Video".
I've been doing Real Estate for over 20 years and I like to do other stuff too to get business.  Like...be goofy.
Below is a link to my really cheesy remake of the great Justin Timberlake video, "Can't Stop The Feeling". The song was originally featured in the DreamWorks Animation's animated movie "Trolls".
You should watch "Trolls". No, really. It's a great movie. Oh, and you should also watch the original JT video, "Can't Stop The Feeling". I mean, really...it's WAY better than my video.  Plus, if you've never seen JT's original video you won't really get my video.
Okay...you're right.

1. Make your home’s exterior look like new.

riverside real estate homes for sale: 5 Reasons to Sell Before the "Selling Season" Starts! - 02/03/17 09:49 AM
Thinking of waiting till Spring to sell your home?  You may want to think again.  A common thought in real estate is never list your home in the winter offseason. Perpetuated by industry experts, agents and repeat sellers alike, this saying encourages many would-be sellers to wait until the spring peak to list their homes. However, studies show that homes listed in the winter offseason not only sell faster than those in the spring, but sellers also net more above their asking price at this time.1 Don’t wait until spring to sell. If you’ve been thinking of selling your home, here … (3 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: Where Are All My Reviews? - 09/23/15 04:52 AM
My wife and I wanted to try something new for dinner.  Someplace we'd never been to before.  Something different.  We discussed this place and that place and nothing really caught our interest.  So, I picked up my smartphone and clicked on Yelp to search restaurants.  As we scrolled through the findings, we decided upon one restaurant:  Health's Kitchen.  Why that particular spot?  It was a brand new business serving healthy foods and it had already garnered 85 reviews with 4.5 stars on Yelp and 44 reviews and 4.8 stars on FaceBook.  Let's face it.  Who wants to try something new unless someone else … (1 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: Sales Price vs. List Price Show a More Typical Market - 04/10/15 03:33 PM
Just thought I'd share some information about the local market.  I was perusing the list price vs. sale price numbers in my local city of Riverside and I think it shows a telling story.  I recall back between 2012 and 2013 that homes were selling in 4 to 5 days after being placed on the market.  Multiple offers were the norm and the sales price typically landed several thousand over the original listed price.  But that began to change as price increases slowed in 2014 and have continued to do so into the 1st quarter of 2015.

riverside real estate homes for sale: Forget Batman. This "HERO" is NOT the One the City Deserves Nor Needs - 04/10/15 02:59 PM

"You either die a Hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
You may or may not have heard about the uproar being dealt with over the famous (and now infamous) H.E.R.O. program.  But it's become more and more of an issue in recent months as home values continue to rise and homeowners are wanting to cash-in on the new equity before it's too late.  It appears for now that the program, which was once hailed as a "hero" to homeowners is being looked at closely as possibly now being...a villain.
H.E.R.O., the Home Energy Renovation Opportunity, came about to … (2 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: Don't Be Like Norman...Hire a Realtor! - 04/08/15 02:23 PM
If you're attempting to sell your home on your own, you may want to know about "poor Norman".  Check out his story in the video below.

Many people believe that they can save time and money by selling their home on their own. In reality, the statistics show otherwise. The above video and this quick blog will give you some solid facts to consider when you are deciding if you will try a for sale by owner (FSBO) or to work with a seasoned REALTOR.
In total, FSBOs made up only 9% of the home sales in 2013 and, on … (3 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: BEWARE! Leave my Advertising Alone or Else! - 04/07/15 07:56 AM
Several years ago I began using car magnets to advertise my business.  I was always reluctant to do so because I'm a pretty quiet, reserved and shy kinda guy.  HA!  But no...really.  I hate to be pushy or always spouting off about my business to friends and acquaintances.  I don't want to be that sales guy.  I don't want people running and hiding when they see me coming.
But one day, a fellow Sunday School teacher at my church told me he was moving and had just sold his home.  He had no idea I was a Realtor and was quite dismayed … (3 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: Will the "Sweet-Spot" turn Sour? - 04/06/15 07:23 AM
Freddie Mac recently released it’s PMMS, the Primary Mortgage Market Survey stating that the average fixed rates for mortgages remained fairly steady.  The 30 year fixed rate mortgage was averaging 3.7% at a little more than ½ a point which was down from 4.41% this same time last year.
This is great news for buyers and sellers alike.  Right now, we are in the “sweet-spot” where the market is looking good for both buyers and sellers.  As rental costs climb and interest rates stay low, more and more buyers will be looking for a home in order to get in on the … (2 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: "You really want this home?" - 10/29/13 09:28 AM
"You really want this home?"  That's what my oldest son asked when he entered the house we had just opened escrow on. His mother and I answered, "YES!"  We love watching that television show, "This Old House" and this old house was our dream home.  2,500 square feet of blank canvass to paint on.  

Granted, the house was built in 1920 and had NEVER been updated, changed nor cared for.  But we saw the possibilities.  All the cool Spring afternoons sitting on the large Walton's-like front porch in the swing I would later install.  Family get togethers in the … (2 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: Read Across America is TODAY! - 03/02/13 03:50 AM
When I was a child, the phrase "Reading is Fundamental" was heard throughout the media, television and at school.  Today, in our technologically advanced society, it is good to know that reading is still celebrated as being vitally important.
On March 2, 1998, the National Education Association began the largest yearly celebration of reading this country has ever seen.  Every year on Dr. Seuss's birthday (March 2nd) "Read Across America" takes place across the country in thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers.  Bringing together kids, teens and books.

The purpose of Read Across America is to show the importance … (6 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: I'm back! - 08/06/09 05:00 PM
It's been awhile since I last blogged.  I've been focusing on other things such as buying and fixing up a 1920's Victorian style home and my wife going thru cancer for the second time.  But today, news came up that needed to be told so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of the newspages.
Back in March of this year, the report from the Obama Administration stated that data showed one in five U.S. homeowners with mortgages owe more than their house is worth. 1 in 5. Well, a Reuters Report quoting a Deutsch Bank study today stated that they … (1 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: Stop The Bleeding! - 11/13/07 02:16 PM
This message is for all my sellers and anyone else who may be interested.  Right now, just in Riverside, there are 3,190 homes for sale.  During the past 30 day period, only 110 sold.  That’s only 3.4% which means that 96% of homes for sale are not selling.  It also means we have roughly a 29 month supply of inventory.  In other words, if the market stayed steady as it is right now and you priced your home just like everyone else, then it could possibly sell in 29 months. 
Everyone who wants to wait 29 months for their home to … (5 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: Economy and the Market are still going Carzy! - 11/10/07 11:40 AM
Currently, there are nearly double the number of homes for sale then there were three years ago at the height of the market.  And that does not include the new homes available.  Supply and demand is going crazy and not in a good way.  Obviously, when supply is up and demand is low, then prices drop accordingly.  And that’s what we see in the Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley and the rest of the Inland Empire.
Experts believe foreclosures are expected to increase at least 25% this coming year.  Add to this the continued tightening of requirements for qualifying for a loan … (4 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: The Banks Are Frustrating Me! - 11/08/07 04:10 PM
Would it be alright if I take a moment to vent?  I just need to rant a little and get something off my chest.
I’m very frustrated and the banks are driving me crazy!
In the 90’s I dealt with numerous foreclosures and closed tons of short sales.  Now that short sales have come back around, I have tried unsuccessfully to close several.  One such listing sold at the Trustees Sale to an outside investor for $30,000 less than the offer I had presented the bank only 45 days earlier.  Another went to foreclosure after the bank refused to take a … (5 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: New Homes On Sale Bigtime! - 11/06/07 03:18 PM
The local Inland Empire Real Estate market is increasingly becoming more, and more difficult.  New home sales fell 37.2% in September and 33% of buyers actually ended up canceling their transaction before closing.  Most experts attribute this to tighter financing restrictions or to the consensus of buyers that prices will continue to drop.
The best statistics indicate that more than 2 million sub-prime mortgages will reset in the next few months at much higher monthly payments which will greatly increase the risk of defaults and foreclosures.
This past weekend, one local builder took out a full page color ad to … (2 comments)

riverside real estate homes for sale: Does T.V. Matter to Real Estate? - 11/05/07 04:58 PM
Yep, foreclosures are on the rise.  In fact, they’re going to continue to rise.   Houses are staying on the market longer.  The market’s softening.  Buyers can’t get loans.  New homes are not selling.
But is anyone paying attention to the “other” news?  The writers are striking.  That’s right.  The writers.  No Jay Leno tonight.  It’s a rerun.  Heroes has only 4 episodes to go before they run out.  Does anyone else think that’s important? 
Aside from missing my favorite shows, the writer’s strike is going to hurt the economy.  Right now, as they strike, it costs the Southern California economy more … (1 comments)
