Real Estate seems to moving rather quickly here in California. Short sales are getting multiple offers on the first day, interest rates are low, & prices have finally become so low we don't seem to have enough inventory for all the Buyers.

While helping out at the SoCal Film Festival I met a great group of talented people. I met director Daivd Beatty, of the film Seed of Perfection & we instantly hit it off, probably because we are both Sagittarious.

- 05/24/10 08:58 AM
Well, I am happy to say I have been able to keep one of my New Years resolutions...reading my real estate magazines! As a Realtor I get several magazines sent to me on a monthly basis.

real estate: Taking Your Website To The NEXT LEVEL
- 04/07/08 07:27 AM
How often do you update your website? I am pretty tech savy, but with the constant changes in the web industry keeping on the up and up is a full time job in itself. Website management can be time consuming and typing errors count against you, but it is a good way to keep your face in the forefront without having to waste paper and spend money on costly mailers. With the going green campaign kick, this is one sure fire way to contribute. Nevertheless, I am always looking for ways to take it to the next level. I read everything … (1 comments)
real estate: BUYERS GET OFF THE FENCE!!!
- 03/31/08 05:52 AM
I've been watching the real estate market especially close in the areas I farm and sell real estate. I have to tell you I am seeing 2004 housing prices in Huntington Beach, CA.

THAT IS A PRICE DROP OF $200,000!!!!!!! BUYERS!!!! What are you waiting for? Sure a few of these lower prices are due to foreclosures and bank owned properties and brought down the values in the neighborhoods, but what do you think … (2 comments)

real estate: SECRETS TO CURB APPEAL
- 03/05/08 08:49 PM
Secrets to Curb AppealWhat kind of first impression does your home make? I often find when taking buyers out to see properties they are quick to make a decision as to weather they want to go into a property or not simply by the way the exterior of the property looks. This is why I advise my sellers to do a light landscape makeover prior to putting their home on the market. And did you know the average return on landscape at resale is 100%!!! You only get 1 chance to make a first impression! What constitutes true "curb appeal"? While … (3 comments)
real estate: STREET SMART AGENTS
- 02/28/08 04:43 AM
STREET SMART AGENT It is sooooo important to have the right agent working for you. Why? Because in times like these when the real estate market gets tight, lawsuits soar and crazy things happen. An experienced agent will take the time to do their research and homework to ensure you are getting the best property and not just a transaction in their pocket. What type of research you ask? What should my concerns be? Well, if a property has been on the market a long time, several issues come into play. Some of the obvious...is it priced right? Do the sellers want or … (0 comments)
