rancho cucamonga: Real Estate Agents & REALTORS® - What is The Difference? - 09/25/15 07:39 PM
What's The Differences Between a REALTOR & a Real Estate Agent?
People use the terms REALTOR® and Real Estate Agent interchangeably, but did you know there is a difference!
Even though both are licensed to sell real estate, the basic difference between a real estate agent and a REALTOR® is that a REALTOR® is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®.   Being a member of the National Association of REALTORS® means the REALTOR® must subscribe to and abide by a strict REALTOR® Code of Ethics.  This Code of Ethics is a living, dynamic statement that has moved with the times, updating annually to guide REALTORS® in … (1 comments)

Autumn is the most beautiful time of the year in Rancho Cucamonga neighborhoods. I love this time of year!  I love the colors of the trees as you travel through the streets; I love the all the falling leaves as you pass through the Rancho Cucamonga neighborhoods recalling childhood memories of jumping into piles of them.  
 

It's just cool enough to open up all those windows that you had closed all summer to keep the air conditioning in and the heat out. Now you can open them up and let the smells of summer be overtaken by … (0 comments)

Rancho Cucamonga is a Great Place to Live!
Crowned by the majestic San Gabriel Mountains, the three communities of Alta Loma, Cucamonga, and Etiwanda voted to incorporate into the city we now know as Rancho Cucamonga.  Located just 40 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, the City's boundaries cover an area of approximately 38 square miles in San Bernardino County.

Once a laughable synonym for a faraway funny sounding place, especially on the Jack Benny Show, Rancho Cucamonga has now become a premiere city in Southern California's Inland Empire.  As a tribute to this 'publicity', the city of Rancho Cucamonga built its … (5 comments)

Enjoying Rancho Cucamonga in the Rain

 
It's Raining, It's pouring!  I love this time of year . . . The chilly weather,  watching the leaves turn the most beautiful colors, crunchy leaves, hot apple cider, hearing the sound of the fire in the fireplace, the smell of cinnamon scented candles, big comfy throws and all the other wonderful things autumn brings.
Today I enjoyed a lazy Saturday afternoon with KennyG, Boney James and Will Downing Jr.  I was in great company as I surfed the Internet reading ActiveRain blog posts and pinning some stunning images on my Pinterest Boards.

rancho cucamonga: Who Controls the Real Estate Prices in Rancho Cucamonga - 11/08/12 02:52 PM
 
Who Controls the Real Estate Prices in Rancho Cucamonga



As Real Estate Agents we like to think we have some effect on the Rancho Cucamonga home pricing, but we realize home prices are determined largely by the Buyers, and to some degree, the Sellers.  It doesn’t matter how good an Agent is, or how much money they spend marketing the property, if Buyers feel like the sales price is too high, the house won’t sell!  

No amount of skill or marketing on the Agents part will entice a Buyer to pay significantly more than what … (2 comments)
