san jacinto: The REO Niche has Been a Blessing; or...Help Wanted - Buyer's Agent - 05/25/09 06:14 AM
As an REO Listing Agent and REALTOR inn the Hemet San Jacinto Valley, who got in early I can say that my life has been blessed.  Not only have I sold more houses than I ever thought possible but I have gotten to know some really spectacular people.The business has been so good to me that I have outgrown the traditional business model of a traditional real estate office and forced to re-invent myself and the way I look at this business.  I found a Virtual Broker that truly does pay 100% commission after a small annual fee of approximately $3,000 a … (7 comments)

san jacinto: Hemet Market Snapshot: June 1st through September 21st - 2007 Compared to 2008 - 09/21/08 11:38 AM
I was very disturbed when I red an article earlier this month that my local market had dropped in value by a full 9% in just one month.Hello, I live here and work this market full time - every day and yes, I have seen a drop month after month - it has never been 9% in a single month, despite what the local newspaper, "The Press Enterprise" reporter Leslie Berkman reported on August 30th, 2008.Now, I agree with most of what the article reports - but come on, lets be responsible and not add fuel to the fire.  I agree … (3 comments)

san jacinto: REO – Agent Training and Marketing – Necessary Expenses - 09/21/08 10:28 AM
When a property is taken back by a lender through the foreclosure process they not only have to deal with the loss of the monthly payments for the better part of the last year – or n some cases even longer.  They not only have to provide the financial resources for the legal process to take the home back.  In fact the lenders losses are just starting to add up and the real money could be forthcoming.
Once the property has been secured and back “in the hands’ of the lender / owner the process begins to minimize the loss incurred.  … (1 comments)

As a local REO REALTOR servicing South West Riverside County from offices in the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley, John Occhi has went and done it again – grown faster than his team of seasoned REALTORS can keep up with.
John and his Inland Empire REO Team is currently averaging less than 7 days on market for all REO homes that are listed and sold – many are pre-sold even before they are released on the MLS to the local REALTOR population and the general public through syndicated sites like REALTOR.Com (where all of the teams listings are showcased), Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and … (12 comments)

san jacinto: Before You Buy a Bank Owned Home At Auction Read This - 08/03/08 08:18 AM

Lenders are doing whatever they can to sell their inventory of REO homes.  There are entire portfolios being sold wholesale for 60 to 70 cents on the dollar of the BPO price-which can be a great deal if you have $10 million or more to invest. 
Most homes are being assigned to REALTORS® like myself to list, market, maintain and sell the assets on the retail real estate market.  In the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley we saw the number of closed REO sales during the month of June 2008 exceed 70% of all the sales in this local market.  I am … (9 comments)

san jacinto: Hemet San Jacinto Valley Market Snapshot: June, 2008 - 08/02/08 04:27 PM
The Hemet San Jacinto Valley is actually a very difficult market to analyze effectively.  The problem is our local board, The Hemet San Jacinto Association of REALTORS® (HSJAOR) belongs to the second largest MLS in the country-TEMPO.
Unfortunately it seems like every other board within a 50 mile radius belongs to IMRMLS.  Therefore, the data entered into IMRMLS never appears in TEMPO.  The two do share a common platform known as ALLIANCE. 
ALLIANCE is very simple in it's search criteria and functionality.  It is OK, at best when searching for a home based on it's minimum standards-but don't think you can … (0 comments)

Buying a Hemet – San Jacinto REO Home:  The Loan Process Many people want to take advantage of the current market conditions in the Hemet – San Jacinto Valley at the eastern end of the Inland Empire, in Southern California because we have such a high foreclosure rate and there are many bank owned (REO) homes for sale in the region at very affordable prices.

It turns out though that no matter how good a REALTOR® I am or any of my peers selling real estate in the Hemet San Jacinto CA market that … (11 comments)
