paris911: 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)

paris911: Now is the time for Real Estate Agents to Crush It! - 01/19/10 12:10 PM
If you have been wanting to do any reading and have been at a loss for what to read.  I would have to say that this "crush it" book is the bees knees.
You can download it to play from the itunes store, or via other audio book resource.
I have both the hard copy and the Mp3 version.
"He hit the nail on the head with this book and drove the nail through about 36 inches of Case Hardened Steel." -Connor MacIVOR
In Real Estate - you need to keep updated and read, read and re-read some more.

paris911: 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)

paris911: It's Starting to Feel like Running again... - 01/15/10 09:58 AM
When you have been without running for a while - you cannot wait to start again.  The same holds true to the real estate market.  With all of the work, extra hours, and even more dedication than a "monk", I still felt as if I had been running in place.
We are not "hurting" which we can thank God for.  But it is five times the work for the same return.  The volume is much higher now, but we have adjusted.
It just has been in the last few weeks that it seems that the tide is turning.  Our leads have … (1 comments)

paris911: Who is doing your Short Sale negotiation? - 01/13/10 12:45 PM
Real Estate Updates in the Santa Clarita Valley.
We have posted our New Listings that have come onto the Real Estate market for Sale.
We also put together some great articles about Short Sales and the Agents that negotiate them.
The second Short Sale article has to do with the “good news about our short sale negotiation”
Foreclosures are starting to trickle out of the Foreclosure Dam.  We will watch with anticipation until the foreclosures start to be released in a more voluminous fashion.
(Yes, that was a two dollar word – as dad used to say”)

paris911: Santa Clarita Short Sale Experts - they are also known as Pre-Foreclosures - 01/11/10 05:00 AM
If a Short Sale is not agreed upon by the Bank - then it will become a Foreclosure.  The Pre-Foreclosures are previewed in the Local MLS's being posted as Short Sales.
We have many Santa Clarita resources for us to list and negotiate Short Sales - But if you are going to hire our team you must complete some mandatory homework before we will take your listing.  This "homework" will keep you safe in the long run.  When the smoke clears two years down the road, we don't want anything "unknown" popping up with regard to your short sale that we … (0 comments)

paris911: Opinions are like... - 01/08/10 06:31 AM

There is a lot happening in this "constrictive" real estate market.  What better way than to vent your feelings on the world wide web.  AR has been a fantastic resource and could be used as your only blogging system to keep your peeps updated with everything new in Real Estate.
But if you are going to venture outside of the AR world and get a side blog where you can have both interact with hyperlinks and anchors, you might see some impressive "Google" results.
Just thinking out loud - "We know you have an opinion, maybe you should get better … (0 comments)

paris911: Hold Still so I can "FEED" you Real Estate! - 01/07/10 01:36 AM

A neglected part of the Real Estate process are RSS Feeds.  Anytime you can build your very own content into something someone else reads on a daily basis, you have developed power.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU <------------This Explains BEST!!
RSS - Stands for Really Simple syndication.  It is like specific parts of Newspaper you subscribe to. 
Breaking it down:  You hand me all of the newspapers in the world, a pair of scissors and bottle of glue and I get to work.  The task you have given me?  To sort out all of the news and events that are related to Real Estate.

paris911: Paris911 Owed to the Men and Women of Law Enforcement and Fire Departments - 12/18/09 05:41 AM
Some of the Real Estate Agents in the world are geographical farmers.  We have based our business on what we know best and that is Police and Fire Service Members.
For the past 11 years, we have been the keystone with regard to Law enforcement and Fire department members, keeping our focus on Safety and protection.
It has indeed kept us on the cutting edge via technology and mechanically being able to add to our Transparent Real Estate nature.
I have read, and reread many publications that ascribe to keeping a transparent view of Real Estate and also modified some the … (2 comments)

paris911: Thought provoking - But not new under the sun... - 09/03/09 12:36 AM
Real Estate Agents make too much money.
Real Estate Agents are an unnecessary "middle-man".
Real Estate Agents and Boards hold sellers and buyers captive.
Thoughts taken from a post from Jeff Jarvis at Buzz Boost.
It was written a long time ago, as far as the Internet is concerned, February 8th, 2006 at 11:53 am, "There is nothing new under the sun".
Sales people will always be somewhat despised.  But today, very different from the past, we have communication from all sections of the world that is immediate and gratification does not have to wait to get answers and feedback to all … (2 comments)
