Located just minutes to the mall, a short walk over the freeway to Old Town Temecula and just down the road from Temecula Wine Country there could not be a better location to call home.

temecula: Temecula Real Estate: What is Probate?
- 06/05/12 11:13 PM
Temecula Real Estate: What is Probate? When searching the MLS for Temecula Real Estate, the searcher will occasionally find Probate Listings and often become confused as to what this status actually means. Many times, the home shopper will ask their REALTOR about the Probate process, only to have the question dodged and a discouraging reply, such as, “It’s a long, complicated and unpredictable process with an uncertain outcome that must be approved by the court.” Sadly, the home is then overlooked and more traditional listings are then pursued. Probate, by its very definition is a legal process that oversees the settlement … (2 comments)

What’s going On? Well, it has been a while since I have been active in either real estate or blogging on ActiveRain. Many of you know, and have wished me well in the past, that I lost my wife to cancer on December 10, 2010.

However, I have decided it’s time to get back on the horse and get back to the professional passion that has driven me for years. The question is – where do I go … (3 comments)

- 08/10/11 07:17 AM
Temecula, California is a unique community with many different facets to it. There is of course, wine country. Our 'Old Town District' is a fun and happening place. The area boasts of many great independenly owned restaurants and bistros. Many people choose to relocate to the South West Riverside County region from out of state. Many are military while others are just seeking our wonderful climate. While the Come2Temecula Team does a great job working with local residents who are either a first time homebuyers, move up buyers and even 2nd home buyers we also service many great people who will … (2 comments)
The rolling hills east of Temecula,dotted with 40 or so wineries and acre upon acre of vineyard are perhaps one of the most popular destinations for the baby boomer and Gen-X residents and tourists in Southern California. Sometimes though, unexpected tragedy can take place...a tragedy of monumental proportion to those it effects. Fortunately, this tale of woe did not happen here in South West Riverside County, but in the vineyards of Adelaide, Australia when a forklift operator may have just a bit too much of the signature Shiraz. Yes, the forklift operator dropped … (4 comments)

Perhaps I'll share more about my mistakes at a later time...hoping others can avoid my costly … (5 comments)
temecula: The Silver Lining to the Dark Cloud of Recession – Property Taxes
- 02/21/10 02:24 AM
It is no secret that the value of your home has sunk to the murky bottom, just like the titanic did a century ago. You are so far underwater that if you had to hold your breath until values returned to where they peaked, you would be introduced as Mr./Mrs. Blue.Across the country, property owners' property taxes are reassessed every 2 to 5 years to bring the assessed value in line with the fair market value. Here in California we have a special way of assessing taxable values, thanks to the 30-year-old amendment to the state constitution - Proposition 13. Prop … (7 comments)

The NFL and Real Estate Fraudby John Occhi, Hemet, CA REALTORHemet-San Jacinto Valley Real EstateReal Estate fraud is an epidemic in this country. After all, why use a gun to rob a bank and risk getting caught and/or possibly hurt when you can do it with a computer and pen. Today bank robbers don't need to worry about high speed get-a-ways and shoot outs with the law - heck apparently they are so bold they don't worry about very much. Five people were indicted in Texas for their alleged (I love the use of this term) roles in a mortgage fraud scheme … (7 comments)

Mortgage Fraud Can Have a negative Ripple Effect by John Occhi, Hemet CA REALTOR Hemet CA Real Estate As you may know, I have this sort of "Law & Order" fascination with the topic of Mortgage Fraud, and have shared a couple of articles in the past that have gotten some great response from the on line real estate community.

My Rant - continued - Absentee Realtors and Listingsby John Occhi, Hemet CA REALTOR®Hemet CA Real EstateEarlier I wrote a Blog Post on my ActiveRain Hemet Real Estate Blog about a breed of REALTOR that I dubbed the "Absentee REALTOR®".

In the article, I focused my rant primarily on the Absentee Realtor who will take a buyer from their market and try and give … (3 comments)
