It will be something fantastic - try punching in "active rain"
I will even have natures creatures, maybe in the future - but for now everything about Santa Clarita Real Estate.
Can you imagine the possibilities???

macivor: New Listings in the Santa Clarita Valley - 05/19/10 03:00 AM
If you have not figured it out as of yet - We are all about the "feeds" giving rise to our understanding of RSS, which is Really Simple Syndication. 
In the AM, Bright and Early, I am reviewing my very own RSS feed subscription to see what new listings have come onto the market for sale in the cities that compose the Santa Clarita Valley.
Today was no different, with 15 new releases and only 4 being short sales and 1 a foreclosure, it would seem that the regular sellers and regular sales are becoming more prominent in these trying "real … (0 comments)

macivor: Santa Clarita Realtor Market Recap for May 2010 - 05/03/10 04:06 AM

Santa Clarita Real Estate Prices have been on the rise it seems over the past couple of months.  With the huge lacking of inventory and there being a multitude of buyers looking for a hot real estate deal, it is no wonder.
Buyer frustration has just about peaked it would seem.  “We have buyers that have come to us from having worked with other Teams and Agents – they are elated that we can get them into escrow”. 
“We always tell the buyers to keep loyal if the agent they chose is working hard for them – I … (0 comments)

macivor: Where is the Market Data Today in Santa Clarita Valley? - 04/11/10 07:12 AM
I pulled a two year history for all residences in the Santa Clarita Valley. I also did not limit the number crunching to any specific price range, bedrooms, bathrooms, or housing type.
Any Real Estate Search is only as good as the data that is entered by the "expert".
Bad in equals Bad out...
When we put together any market dynamic search for market data - we have to make sure we are getting the right reports that don't give false representation that might convey to the viewer a position of selfishness.
So - Here you have it.  I … (0 comments)

macivor: New Listing - Pre-Market in Castaic CA - Real Estate - 03/10/10 06:46 AM
Am currently building the contracts and other necessary information to place this new listing onto the Castaic Real Estate market for sale.

macivor: It was 0315hrs when I started this AM with Santa Clarita Real Estate! - 02/28/10 11:46 PM
Early to bed and early to rise makes John a dull boy???
That is probably not the way it goes, but funny just the same.
I have been busy reading the days news about interest rates increasing and watching as there are ZERO foreclosures that hit the market in the Santa Clarita Valley over the Weekend.
I updated several pages within our Paris911.com website and wrote a few blog posts that our clients have been asking for.  Take a look for yourself and be safe out there.
Why do Title Searches matter with Short Sales?
What is the best way to … (0 comments)

macivor: Sticking my head up a Bull’s A#% and Market Data - 02/22/10 05:44 AM
“I can get a good look at a T-bone if I stick my head up a Bull’s A#%$, but why not take the Butchers word for it.” “Johnny Boy”
So, now that I set the stage – What value are you giving to your clients?  Are you just guessing at where the Real Estate market Is?  Have you put anything in place of Value?
You might want to re-think your approach.  I know we are of Value – I know that I also might be able to survive for at least 15 seconds with the top MMA (mixed martial arts fighter) … (0 comments)

macivor: What is the new Santa Clarita Foreclosure Inventory - and what is the best way to search? - 02/18/10 10:42 AM
Current inventory in the Santa Clarita is on the rise – we have seen over the past several weeks it strengthening – but the amount of Short Sales is still very high in comparison with the Bank Owned listings.
There is a log jam of Foreclosure properties that are in process for the Santa Clarita Valley Real Estate market as well as for the rest of the Southern California Area.

We do those searches well – Foreclosure search by your command and with your very own criteria.

macivor: New Real Estate Inventory for the Santa Clarita Valley - 02/17/10 04:07 AM

As you can see - if you compare the last entry - we are on the rise with inventory - but I would throw caution to the wind and if you are a buyer looking at Short Sales - make sure your agent that is representing you and the agent representing the seller is certified as a Short Sale expert and is also a Certified Distressed Property Expert.
To answer the question of why - Because if they are not, you are probably going to be spinning your wheels.  You will find that some of the short sale listings that … (0 comments)

macivor: Keeping it Fresh in Santa Clarita - 02/01/10 07:46 AM
I suppose it is like a good deodorant - We are Keeping it fresh at the Paris911 Team with REMAX of Santa Clarita.
This is how the System works for Foreclosures -
If a property gets assigned - the agent has about 48 hours in which to check if the property is occupied or vacant.
Step 2, if the property is vacant - we are about 45 days from the listing. 
Step 3 - if occupied - finding out whether a tenant or Owner.
If tenant - we are 45+90 days from an eviction.
If Owner - we are … (0 comments)

macivor: Santa Clarita Foreclosures are coming!!!! - 01/23/10 02:00 AM
From the most recent foreclosure inventory, I am judging that we are in store for more Foreclosures to be released in the Southern California Real Estate Market.
This is a two fold test, who are the agents and what are their foreclosure listings track records?  Title searches reveal what banks are doing the releasing.
There is a third step that involves either elevator rides, speaking with the agents due to a personal bond, and even the coffee machine.
We have posted several newly updated blog posts that have everything to do with the Southern California Area Foreclosures - We also have … (0 comments)

macivor: It is okay to say "pretty" when speaking of Paris911 - 01/19/10 12:55 AM
Even as a Police Officer in Los Angeles, I was still a Hugger.  I hugged almost everyone - some "harder" than others.  But the love was there just the same.  A number of years ago, I compared law enforcement with Real Estate.  I'll never forget because Lynn voiced her opinion and did not think they had anything in common.  I was a bit taken back.  Reflecting on the past 12 years and while maintaining my Status as a LAPD Reserve, I now agree.  They are nothing alike.
Although I would love for the Honor and Code to exist in the Real … (2 comments)

macivor: Who is covering your back??? - 07/01/07 05:50 AM
Lets talk safety in Real Estate.  Not the aspect of production and establishing a "net" for your financial future.  No, I want to speak about your safety.  I am not speaking about lawsuits or the sort, most of those can be averted by the simple rule of thumb, "Disclose, Disclose, Disclose".
How many times have you had someone call as a buyer wanting to see one of your listings in the next 10 minutes?  I say "pose" because that might be what is really happening.  This phone call could be conducted by a predator.  We do have our pictures all over God's green … (6 comments)
