los angeles realtor: The Fidelity National Home Warranty was a hero for the new buyers!
- 08/03/14 10:35 AM
The Fidelity National Home Warranty Company was a true hero for the new buyers!
The importance of having a Home Warranty cannot be emphasized enough. The other day, my buyers just moved into their new home. A few days after this momentous event, they received their home warranty information.
There was a package explaining how to register their home on line and to initiate the protection. Fidelity National Home Warranty had a very simple and professional package. The buyers waited a few days before they accomplished this task.
The following morning the buyers discovered that the water was not as hot … (5 comments)

- 07/19/14 05:15 PM
The last few days of a transaction are critical! Communication is always important!
I have found that often the last two days of a transaction can make the difference if you have a happy buyer or seller. Often times it makes the difference if you will get more referrals from the buyer or the seller.
So why it is that Sellers & Buyers and Agents do not focus on it?
I will just use my last transaction as an example:
The Contractual Agreement was that at close of business 5pm the Seller will vacate his home upon Close of Escrow. … (14 comments)

- 07/13/14 04:44 PM
What advice would you give to the buyer if you were in a Multiple Offer situation?
Often times we are in a competitive situation and we need to help the buyer get the property. What do you say to the buyer?
My answer is very simple to this question. I tell the buyer when they are in a multiple offer situation simply decided what is it worth to them to get the property. If they offer let’s say $5 or $10,000 above the asking price it should be the amount that when they go to sleep tonight and wake up in … (15 comments)

Westchester, CA Single Family Residencial Real Estate: “Under Contract Statistics”
I have found that over time there is always a larger focus on Active listings that are on the market. People focus on the asking price, the number of them on the market. Although they are important numbers they do not tell the real story. Let’s be realistic: Sellers can ask all they want and will find agents that are willing to list it for them.
Then of course the other number most people focus on is the Sold Statistics. Clearly valuable information the combination of the two you get … (3 comments)

“There are three constants in life: Change, Choice and Principles” Steven Covey
This is one of my favorite quotes by Steven Covey.
Most people knew him of the 7 habits of highly effective people. My favorite book of his was the “Principle Centered Leadership”.
If you have not read it, I encourage you to do so. It is a great book for people who have dilemmas such as: How do I balance personal and professional areas of life in the middle of constant crises and pressures? If that does not sound like Real Estate day to day, I am not … (25 comments)

Breaking News: Warren Buffet is bullish about Solar & Wind Energy Companies!
In case you missed it at the Edison Electric Institute’s Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Warren Buffet spoke about increasing his holdings and he also mentioned that he was intending on spending more Billions of Dollars of his Berkshire Hathaway funds to buy Solar and Wind Energy Companies.
When asked, he indicated that this is the future and is a stable investment, unlike some of the more turbulent opportunities out there today.
This made me think, Warren Buffet is very cautious, smart and has a good investment strategy, … (22 comments)

What is the West Hollywood Real Estate CondominiumMarket like today?
One of my out of country clients who owns a Condominium was inquiring what the Real Estate Market was like today in West Hollywood. My answer was along this line:
Before I focus on what I think would be a good starting point to market your condominium, let me mention that the Los Angeles Real Estate Market is on fire. Very similar to the 2004 when the market was at the top. There are a few differences, buyers now have to be totally preapproved, and the lenders do not give money … (14 comments)

When do you know you are ready to buy a home? It is like learning to swim: you will know! This post was inspired by one of my Active Rain friends asking the question: when will you be ready to swim?
For many people this is the age old question: when do you know that you are ready to buy a home? The answer is: you will know! Clearly the answer is not as simple as it sounds.
For most people there are concerns on many levels. Do they have enough cash down payment to afford the monthly mortgage, taxes and … (18 comments)
