Good morning Active Rainers, Buyers and Sellers:
It's a beautiful day in Woodland Hills, California.  It's another sunny day for all of us to enjoy!  To those who read my blog, I would like to say, Welcome!  It's always a pleasure to have you stop by.
With the trickling of bank owned properties coming to the market, some REO agents are very busy.  Many of their listings are located in areas that are not within easy driving distance.  To help showcase this wonderful opportunity to live in Woodland Hills, a community where I live and love, I contacted the Santa Clarita … (6 comments)

buyers and sellers: Love Thy Neighbor - 12/01/11 07:05 AM
On Thanksgiving Day, I decided to do something special for my neighbors.  So many people don't know the names of their neighbors.  This is so true, especially when you live in a large metropolitan city such as Los Angeles, California.  I love my community.  It's my own special place in the hills of the valley.  
To get to know my neighbor, I decided to leave two $5.00 Starbucks cards and a thank you card.  I wrote inside, "Thank you for being such a great neighbor.  I really appreciate it!"  I signed my name.  Since I did not know my neighbor's … (12 comments)

buyers and sellers: I Want You To Short Sale My House! - 11/30/11 07:55 PM
I received a "come list me" frantic call from my sphere of influence a few days ago.  She rarely calls, but we've known each other for almost 11 years.  I always try to call her once a month to catch up on the happenings and, of course, ask for a referral.  Every conversation she talked about moving out of the Antelope Valley-Lancaster, California area, which is about 75 miles due north of the city of Los Angeles.  For 5 years, she fantasized about moving closer to the City of Los Angeles or Ventura near the beach areas.  Because of her job, … (4 comments)

buyers and sellers: Expired Listings, Why Bother? - 10/18/11 04:53 AM
Good morning:
Every morning I sit down at my computer and do a general search for expired listings through my Multiple Listing Service.  In areas throughout Los Angeles, home prices have decreased.  I have a buyer who has been searching for a property for over a year.  She's a military Reservist.  In addition to serving her country, she has been employed for 15 years at a major corporation.  Because of the higher cost for homes from 2000 to 2008, she could not find a home within her budget.  Like many buyers, she saved her money for a down payment, has a … (6 comments)

buyers and sellers: Get Home Now! - 08/04/11 02:45 PM
Good afternoon:
If you want to buy a home, now is the time to do it.  As a member of the Southland Regional Board of Realtors, I want to announce that there may be incentives for home buyers to still buy a home in the San Fernando Valley.  Throughout the United States, there is an initiative called, "Get Home Now!".  It is a community based program that provides assistance and education for people wanting to learn about their home buying options.  The goal of this program is to eliminate the barriers that prevent many Latinos and African Americans, immigrants and low-to-moderate-income … (12 comments)

buyers and sellers: So You Want To Become A Real Estate Investor - 08/03/11 11:06 AM
I'm sure many of you have seen those late night info-commercials advertising how you can make a lot of money investing in real estate.  The spokesperson tells you that it's easy, but they don't tell you how it's done.  You better believe that they want you to buy their book, program or system.  They entice you by having testimonials from people who have "struck it rich" and are now living the easy life because of the big monthly residual checks that they now receive.  It's almost always a rags to riches story and that anybody can become their own boss, just … (9 comments)

buyers and sellers: Beware of Natural Predators - 07/16/11 04:34 AM
A few weeks ago, I showed a single family home in Sherman Oaks, California.  After locking up, my clients and I parted.  As I was driving down the hill, I saw a coyote run across the street, ducked into the bushes out of sight.  It was only 11:00am.
Yesterday as I was driving up the hill to a gated townhouse complex in Woodland Hills, California, I saw a lone coyote standing on the wall ledge.  As I neared, the animal stopped, looked in my direction, turned abruptly and ran into the bushes.  This sighting took place at 3:00pm.  I drove through … (9 comments)
