santa clarita real estate: Exciting Times with Advertising in Real Estate and Marketing our Buyers and Sellers - 05/28/08 11:28 AM
Marketing Buyers?  Absolutely, what I mean is that we are members of a "elite" group of Santa Clarita Agents from several different companies that all have a play it forward attitude.  We all understand (at least most do, since when do you get 100% compliance?) that there is enough business for everyone and no one is a threat to anyone else's business.  This is necessary for the group to release themselves from the Bonds of competition and push forward full force for their buyers and sellers.
We pitch buyers, we know as members of this group - Top Agents United - that we … (2 comments)

santa clarita real estate: Motor Shooting Training - LAPD and Glendale PD - The 911 Team - 04/17/08 10:01 AM
I must say that my voice has seen better days.  However, the satisfaction that goes with the "stressing" of the voice and the decibel level that has to be achieved and maintained, when attempting to yell commands that have to overcome inner hearing protection and Motor Helmets, is quite draining and destructive.  I must say that I do love the fact I am a Reserve Police Officer and have no regrets in quitting from being a full time officer after 17 years, March 29, 2007.
Real Estate has its exciting points too.  It has its ups and downs - there are other agents … (0 comments)

santa clarita real estate: Short Sales in the Santa Clarita Valley - 02/13/08 02:52 PM
It seems that the more time that passes the more well versed and the better known the players are in the short sale field.  I have been able to meet some very interesting people in the mitigation departments of most of the major banks. 
One of the things I did not expect is how far you can get with negotiation and agreement from any financial institution when you are cordial and kind.  During most of our short sale negotiation, and for that matter most short sales, the process cannot start until a few things happen.  There has to be an offer on … (1 comments)

santa clarita real estate: Santa Clarita Real Estate and Beyond Open Houses - 02/06/08 11:28 AM
Getting clients.  I get at least three calls a week from some concerned person that wants to make my real estate business better.  They explain to me that they can provide me exclusive leads and that they only have the one spot left in the Santa Clarita Valley.  They usually do not pronounce Santa Clarita correctly.  They also think it is central California.  They definitely have not done their home work which concerns me with the proposition of paying money to this company that is going to be feeding me leads.
I love open houses - all times - all days.  As … (0 comments)

santa clarita real estate: Real Estate Searches without any personal information required - www.SCV911.com - 01/01/08 09:21 AM
Real Estate search engines are pretty much the same when it comes down to it.  You can get fancy ones that will show the clients properties in cute bubbles and display the listings in a more dramatic fashion.  Or you can get something that resembles the Local Multiple Listing Service that us Real Estate Agents use to search for properties for our clients.To ask those that are searching for homes to register to view any of the active listings, is that something that is good or something that is bad?  I don't know if you are able to really label it Good … (2 comments)

santa clarita real estate: Where is your Chi when Blogging? - 12/06/07 11:58 AM
Where is your Chi or center.  Where is your mindset when writing blogs?  Besides you wanting to pass on information about your listings, the market, or something that is funny that happened to you while driving in excess of 65mph when you were almost killed, (my last blog - LOL), where do you find your creative mind?
If you imagine for a moment that all space around you is not void.  You might look around yourself, the immediate area surrounding your body, and see nothing in the space.  You might also acknowledge that on a microscopic level there are germs, oxygen, etc … (3 comments)

santa clarita real estate: What is the "right" thing to do? - 11/24/07 03:00 PM
I guess that this type of situation has presented itself in various forms before in my short lived 10 year career as an active Realtor®.  Most often in the form of someone calling on one of our sign calls or entering an open house that I was hosting, asking questions and me answering them with accuracy and kindness.  However, my next question is probably typical for most of you "are you working with a Realtor®?"
I like business like the rest of my Active Rain Bretheren and Sisteren.  I want to close more deals than I did the quarter before.  However, … (2 comments)

santa clarita real estate: Where do you Stick your Brand after it is created??? - 11/22/07 11:02 AM
Some of you will tell me where I can put it. LOL and Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!! 
 But I want to speak with the rest of you that are wanting to figure out the best resources to post your brand.
•1.       Internet- What a great place, with blogging and the natural word search engines,  your brand will be recognized in no time.•2.       Publication Print- In comparison with Blogging, and much more expensive, if you have the right "catch phrase" then you will get a lot of attention with your certain brand.  Might I suggest having this "ad" point the viewer to your www … (2 comments)

santa clarita real estate: Latest Motor School Shooting Training Day - 10/30/07 01:16 PM
Well this last weekend I had the honor of teaching the Firearms portion to a bunch of freshly graduated Motor Cops with the Los Angeles Police Department.
I have been involved in this cadre since its inception.  Long before I resigned.  All of the men and women that made up this motley crew were all forged from 1/2" thick iron.  They had tasted their guts and asked for seconds.  They, in my humble opinion, have now become a part of the most dangerous "job" in this world.  That of a Motorcycle Officer.  Not only do they risk their lives pulling over some of the … (0 comments)
