real estate: Murietta's REO Report - 05/07/09 08:20 PM
           I want to make it official.....I Scott Barr declare that Riverside county in California has reached the
 bottom of the market for housing. At least that's what I told some friends at a dinner party back in April.
At first I made a blanket statement that we will look … (0 comments)

CANYON LAKE
 
      How does an old fashion Christmas sound? That's
 exactly what we had this past Saturday. First, we
got a bird's eye view of the Canyon Lake's Christmas
 boat parade. Then we Christmas caroled into the
 night followed by some delicious treats for all. We
 ended the night

real estate: Hemet REO Report - 12/17/08 06:55 AM
     I got a call from a friend, who belongs to the local jeep club, and he asked if I wanted to go on a "snow run." My thoughts immediately went back to a childhood spent frolicking around in the elements until I couldn't feel my toes. Then I realized that … (0 comments)

Tis the season to be.... Grateful. I know Thanks
Giving has past, but I'm very grateful for
 another sale. The best part is that it has been
 a smooth transaction to this point. It is in a
 mobile home park and once again the
commission is not that much but … (2 comments)

real estate: Another referral - 11/05/08 10:02 PM
          The strangest thing happened to me today, I got another referral for a mobile home listing. The
first one I got 45 days ago sold in less
 than 30 days. So I guess this means I'm
 the mobile home guy. Please don't feel
 sorry for me, it's not as bad as … (0 comments)

real estate: San Jacinto reo report - 11/04/08 03:32 PM

       In soccer we have a saying "it's
 always fun when you win." When you
 win it doesn't matter how bad the
 referreeing was or how many fouls
the other team committed. In fact, you
 start thinking that maybe Hitler was
 not such a bad guy after all. Well, I

    Recently my youngest daughter and I had the privilege to attend the Redshank Rider's annual Turkey
Treasure Hunt.  Although we don't own a horse yet, we thought
 it to be a good excuse to eat lunch in Anza,
California. What does this have to do with real estate you

real estate: SHORT SALES REMINDER - 09/23/08 02:22 PM
Do these two images go together when you think of short sales? I have found that being "nice" to the person on the other end of the phone, who is there to help, makes things move more expeditiously. After all isn't that what we all want a speedy operation? And I … (7 comments)

real estate: TEMECULA'S REO REPORT - 09/22/08 12:32 PM
With banks heading to the hills or where ever they go when they shut down, the time to have access to a reliable lender has intensified. A reliable lender can be designated by their aptness at adjusting to shifting markets. Please note that I'm not a lender but its no secret … (0 comments)

Do you remember that old saying? "If you come to a fork in the road, take it. Now I know what they meant by it. There are so many choices in the market place that its hard to pick the right one. This process is helped by the fact that banks … (0 comments)

                                                     THE SKINNY ON THE SHORT SALE PROCESS I've been doing short sales on both sides of a transaction for all of '08.

           ANATOMY OF A SHORT SALE                Short sales have become a big part of the California real estate scene.

real estate: MURRIETA'S REO REPORT - 07/04/08 02:33 AM
 
  It still surprises me when people, who should buy rather than rent hesitate because they think the big dip is going to happen again. I've got news for all the naysayers, California is having a "blue light special" and it's already begun. Yes it will last for 14 more months … (1 comments)

Yes, I really did show 14 homes to my clients yesterday. And as a result I'm writing two offers on two different properties. I love being a buyer's agent in this market. It was one of those surreal real estate moments. We viewed 6 of the 14 homes on one street. … (0 comments)

real estate: Murrieta California REO Update - 05/22/08 08:37 PM
The bank homes continue to lead the way in home sales in southeren California. Prices are bouncing off the bottom of the market. I predict that prices will increase in the latter end of the second half of '08. 2009 will be too late to capitalize 100% on this market. It … (0 comments)
