How to Sell Your Home in Today's Buyer Market, part 1 of 2by John Occhi, Hemet Realtor I first published this article in November 2006 on my original blog. It is rather lengthy , so I have decided to re-post it here as a 2 part article.It should be pretty obvious to anyone who has any interest in the real estate market. You should know by now that the ‘sellers' market we had in Hemet during the first half of this decade has all but evaporated and transformed itself into a bona fide ‘buyers' market. What this means is that Hemet, like … (0 comments)

- 12/28/06 06:15 PM
PRICE YOUR HOME TO SELLBY JOHN OCCHI, HEMET REALTOR®Originally posted to this BLOG Thanks for coming back. In the first part of this report, we looked at the motivation of the home seller. We asked ourselves some tough questions to help determine what our real motivation is and what condition our home is in, to sell. Today, we are going to take a look at how we determine who the best REALTOR is for "US" the individual seller. Just like you, each realtor is an individual also, and there is a match that needs to be made. ********************************** Part 2 of 5Who Is the Best … (1 comments)
hemet: The ABC's of why You Should use a REALTOR

The ABC's of why You Should use a REALTORby John Occhi, HEMET REALTOROriginally posted on 11/12/06 on my First Blog I came across this generic marketing piece on my computer about why a Hemet home seller should want to choose to sell with the assistance of a REALTOR instead of on their own as a FSBO (For Sale By Owner). Typically the single most common reason quoted for a FSBO trying to sell their home themselves is because they want to save the commission even though the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) reports that homes sold with a REALTOR typically sell for … (1 comments)

- 12/28/06 05:29 AM
The Loan Processby John Occhi, HEMET REALTOR Originally Published 12/12/06 on my first blog As a Hemet, CA Realtor, I thought I would write today about a topic that I am not an expert in nor do I ever want to be referred to as an expert. It is the real estate loan process. The reason I am spending some time on this topic is because it is so critical to buying real estate, and what I am an expert in is helping buyers buy Hemet real estate.So, let's take a look at the process, from the eyes of a Realtor.First, let … (4 comments)
hemet: PRICE YOUR HOME TO SELL, Part 1 of 5
- 12/28/06 05:10 AM
PRICE YOUR HOME TO SELLBY JOHN OCCHI, HEMET REALTOR®Originally posted to this BLOG This is a rather lengthy report that I have written, that I use as part of my pre-listing packet, so the homeowners will understand the principals without a perceived ‘sales job'. If they take the time to read through this report, they will have a very clear understanding of where their price should be, once I provide them with the analysis portion of a CMA at the actual presentation. They will know exactly where to price their home so it will sell. Because of the length and so many variables, … (1 comments)

How much inventory is in the market today?by John Occhi, Hemet, RealtorOriginally written October 30, 2006 Originally posted here I originally posted most of this article on another Blog that I started last month. Like many agents, I've heard of Blogging and thought I would ‘check it out' and see how I could get involved. Of course, when you first start out, it's sometimes difficult to weed through the technology and make the right decisions. I thought about maintaining multiple Blogs - but hello, I have houses to sell. So, I will go ahead and transfer what I believe to be worthwhile to my Active … (1 comments)

hemet: What is Up with the California Housing Market?
- 12/26/06 07:02 AM
What is Up with the California Housing Market?By John Occhi It is no secret that the housing market is not what it was just a few short years ago. The times have changed, and not necessarily for the best. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a doomsdayer and naysayer when it comes to Real Estate. I still believe if you want to buy a home, now is as good a time as any to buy and if you want to sell, now is as good a time as any to sell. But lets look at what has happened in California, as a whole. The … (1 comments)
hemet: Another Interesting Statistic…
- 12/26/06 06:33 AM
Another Interesting Statistic...Or More Listings Equals More Expireds! By John Occhi I was doing some work looking at some of the statistics for the Hemet Real Estate market and determined what ‘I knew to be true" is in reality a fact, that can be backed up with cold hard facts. I have been looking at the Expired listings in Hemet. "Expireds" are REALTOR liongo for properties that have been under contract and listed in the MLS with a REALTOR®. For a specific period of time - typically somewhere between 90 and 180 days, and the contract has expired without the property being sold. Just to … (0 comments)
hemet: The Latest Cost vs. Value Revue
- 12/26/06 06:03 AM
Cost vs. Value Revue: Every year the National Home Remodeling Association publishes it's annual Cost vs. Value Report, which is then republished by the National Association of REALTORS in their monthly REALTOR Magazine. I wish I could say how long this report has been published. All I know is that I was using it 10 to 15 years ago when I was selling replacement windows and other remodeling jobs for contractors. It is a tool with a great amount of credibility that is hard to dispute. This version is based on data from 2006. The report looks at the 25 most common renovations. … (1 comments)
