REOMAC
I was raised in Laguna Niguel California and attended Moulton Elementary, Niguel Hills Junior High, and Dana Hills High School. After finishing High School I went to The University of Southern California where I met my wife Jennifer and earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English. I currently live in Aliso Viejo with my wife and three daughters. It is wonderful working and living in my hometown. The area has changed a lot over the years but it is still a wonderful place to raise a family and a great place to own Real Estate.
Areas of Expertise
Buying A Home
Whether you are buying your first home or trading up to a larger property our industry knowledge will help you find the right home. We have experience in negotiating with Banks on REO properties as well as successfully negotiating short sale transactions. Our customers are continually satisfied with the responsiveness of our Realtors, and their ability to explain the finer points in Real Estate.
Selling A Home
When it’s time to sell a home all homeowners have the same question, “How much can I get $$ for my home?” In order to get the most for your property you need a sophisticated marketing plan that reaches out to buyers and exposes your home to all those exploring the marketplace. Our philosophy focuses on technology combined with the old fashioned, time proven methods of Real Estate Sales. Call us today for a Free Current Market Analysis of your home.
Short Sales
Over the last 4 years we have seen a steady decline in home values. Due to this depreciation many homeowners are faced with sale prices which are smaller than their loan amounts thus creating a short sale. Most banks will review a homeowner’s hardship, evaluate the property, and approve these shortages. Although there may be a derogative reporting to the credit bureau the short sale is better than the Foreclosure in many ways:
You can qualify for a home within 2-3 years
You get to choose the new owners
You avoid the Foreclosure
You may get money to help with moving expenses
Banked Owned Homes
Due to the slow economy and crisis in the mortgage industry many Banks have been forced to foreclose on homes. Once a bank takes possession of a Foreclosure it becomes an REO (Real Estate Owned) property. The negotiating dynamic of a REO is different than that of a standard, or short sale. As a member of REOMAC and as an REO agent hired to list and sell properties for banks like Residential Credit Solutions, Aurora Loan Services, and Hawthorne Credit Union I have a unique perspective on how to protect my buyers when working on a bank owned escrow. Although these homes may be great bargains you must be careful to avoid the pitfalls of buying a foreclosure.
Testimonials
Keith is a full-service agent with a lifetime of knowledge about our locale, and a bright, energetic, and KIND personality to boot. He made the extra effort himself to make our property optimal for viewers and ironed out the smaller details to move along the process without question. When a prospective tenant was identified, he moved quickly to secure a lease that met both parties' expectations. He was always immediately available to us for questions and impressed us with his up-to-date information regarding finer points in real estate. I recommend Keith wholeheartedly for your real estate needs.
We first met Keith while searching Zillow. We met Keith at a condo he had listed, the condo wasn?t right for us and we knew that right after we entered the front door. However, Keith was right for us as an agent. After our first meeting, Keith my wife and I searched all over S. Orange County for homes. Keith toured us on a few homes he thought would be perfect, sometimes accommodating a late night showing or even showings within an hour of us being interested in a location. We finally found one only 3 months later. We were able to close on 3/4/11 and couldn?t be happier with the home and our real estate agent / new friend Keith Watts. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone who is looking for a new home.
Thank you again Keith,

knowledge about the real estate market. He took the time to talk with us to help determine what direction we should go and explain the realities and complexities of todays real estate market. His responsiveness and follow up to our needs and concerns was top notch!
Keith Watts is the person I have chosen to represent me on my "first" home purchase. Though we have not found the "perfect" home yet, he consistently sends me new homes on the MLS, and over the past year has taken to personally view several homes. I am very confident in Keith on all levels as a real estate agent. I know we are close to getting a purchase completed. I highly recommend Keith!!!
Keith was very attentive and was always looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend him, he truly cared in getting me in the home I truly wanted.
What an amazing experience we had with Keith Watts. His knowledge of the area as well as the current real estate market (including shortsales/foreclosures) was unbeatable. He was honest, open and easily accessable, on every medium (telephone, cell, email, ect.). I have to say that he was the seller's agent, and we opted to go with him anyway, as he made it easy, tackled all of our problems, and we closed 7 days sooner, than anyone imagined. He made the entire process understanble and I would and will use him again and again. Alina Sorkin
Keith Watts helped my family buy our first home and was a tremendous asset. He understood the local market and clearly spelled out the entire home buying process from viewing through closing of escrow. Keith was responsive to all our needs and took his time to make sure we found the prefect house. In addition, when we had a small snag with the sellers, Keith helped us negotiate a resolution which worked greatly in our favor. Keep up the great work, Keith!
Was pretty impressed by the local knowledge. I went and saw many houses with him, took me to the not so good neighborhoods and pointed out why they are not so good instead of just dropping them right off the our shopping list. Would give strong feedback on defects and negatives of the houses. Knows what to look for, more than any other Realtor I have dealt before. Quick to spot great deals though it is not always in his or my hands to get it. Never pressured me to buy any house. Good negotiator, would have expected him to help me buy a house for free :-) but he did get me a house for the lowest price that I though the house is worth. I had certain priorities in my house buying and he searched and looked for with those in mind. Nice person, friendly unlike others who are cold to your opinions. Would use him as my Realtor in Southern California.
Keith helped me buy a home, and helped my mother buy a home at the same time. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and helpful. He always had good, thoughtful answers to all of our questions, and good advice.
