san diego real estate: Wrong Flower!
- 06/06/12 12:25 AM
I found this funny short story and can't help but to share it here. I hope it will make your day too.
A client bought a new home and the broker wanted to send flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the home and the owner read the card; it said "Rest in Peace". The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said. "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should … (3 comments)

san diego real estate: Funny Real Estate Ads!
- 05/31/12 08:48 AM
Creativity is the key to most any advertising campaign, Realtors® are no exception. Sometimes when trying to describe a property you simply have to be creative and come up with words that will catch the attention of the reader, sometimes it works better than others.... Plumbing sold separately: This phrase was used to promote a vandalized home in an ad on Loopnet.com, noting that the home had been stripped of it's plumbing as reflected in the price of under $25,000.
Fixer-Upper: Generally meaning the previous occupants kicked in all the walls and smashed all the windows before vacating.

Real estate deals fall through every day for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, many times these deal-killer scenarios could have been avoided if the real estate agent or broker had just educated their buyer clients as to the process before the first purchase contract was written.
Don't be afraid of giving your buyer clients an early education in problems that might be encountered, how they are usually resolved and your role in the process. Negative surprises in the emotionally charged and time-sensitive home purchase process can be avoided in many cases by going through a checklist … (3 comments)
They have big hair. Fact: Though occasionally real estate agents do have big hair, most are regular people who get up in the morning just like you do, and go to work just like you do. Many real estate agents, in fact, are going bald due to stress related hair loss. Same with the fancy dagger-shaped manicures; in actuality, many real estate agents have bitten their nails down to nubs.
Real Estate Agents drive luxury cars while talking on their cell phones. This might just be a coincidence with all the … (4 comments)

san diego real estate: Should I Work With An Agent To Sell My Home?
- 05/26/12 10:14 PM
The economy is down right now, and that has to do with events that have taken place in the real estate market.

Here are a few reasons why it may prove to be more financially sound to sell your home with the assistance of an agent, rather than doing it on your own. First … (4 comments)

san diego real estate: Size (and space) Matters
- 05/22/12 10:45 PM
The size of your home plays a factor in its perceived value. Some houses are perceived to be bigger than they are, and this perception of value can significantly increase the price that you can get for your home. Remember, price is the amount that you are selling your home for, while value is the buyer’s perception of your home’s worth. Your buyer will be more likely to pay your asking price, if they believe they are getting a good value for their investment. This concept is simple, but effective in increasing the chances of a sale. The more space … (3 comments)

The advice I gave him was to call me directly whenever he knew someone who would benefit from my experience, then … (3 comments)
san diego real estate: Why Should I Invest in Real Estate?
- 01/30/12 07:31 AM
Compared to other investments, real estate can provide much better yields. Most of the 1990's, The Standard & Poors Index posted earning yields of 5% to 6% on average. At the same time, the dividend yields of the S & P were only around 2% or less. Since dividend paying stocks tend to be much less volatile, the gains on the appreciation side would not normally be a significant factor. At the same time, bond yields taken as a composite, showed only around 5% returns. Better yields were riskier, while safer bonds returned lower yields. During the same time period, real estate … (0 comments)

Depending on which lending institution you ask you will receive different timeframes allowed to purchase again after a short sale or foreclosure. The reason is some lenders have credit overlays, which translates into stricter underwriting guidelines than Fannie Mae and FHA have published. The following guidelines are as written in the governmental agencies published underwriting manuals.
There are lesser timeframes allowed if there are documented Extenuating Circumstances involved. These are events beyond the control of the borrower, such as a serious illness or death of a wage earner, and … (0 comments)
