solano county: Sad stats...or opportunity calling? - 01/31/08 04:20 AM
I just ran some numbers that are very interesting...
I live and work in Solano County, CA, which is located about halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento.  Fairfield is a working class community, with a population of around 100,000 it is the second largest city in Solano County.  I ran the MLS statistics and found that Fairfield has:
267 bank owned (REO) homes currently on the market229 short sale listings currently on the market846 total homes on the marketWhat this means...over HALF of the homes for sale at this time are on the market because someone is losing their home!  I think everyone would agree that … (2 comments)

solano county: Why I am a Realtor...not a sales agent! - 11/12/07 09:10 AM
I am proud to be a Realtor.  Yes, a card-carrying, flag-waving, handshake-seeking Realtor.  I announce this fact to my friends, family, and yes, even total strangers.    
 I admit that being a Realtor is not a crowd-pleasing profession.  According to a Harris poll in 2006, Realtor's are the second least trusted professional.  Only 7% of those responding to the poll said that they trusted their Realtor completely.  Yikes! 
When I read that statistic I pondered on why it was so, and what could I do to be one of those trusted few.  This is what I came up with:
A Realtor is one who educates him/herself … (8 comments)

                     BUYER BEWARE!!!  Do NOT try to purchase a home without your own representation!   
All of my fellow Realtors are either cheering...or throwing darts at their screens right now.  This article is not for my fellow Realtors, though, this article is for YOU, the buyer.  I am going to list six very important reasons why you should go into ANY real estate transaction with a Realtor representing just YOU, not you and the seller. 
Here is the scenario:  you and your SO have gone on a Sunday drive, saw an open house sign and decided to stop in to see what the home was like.  (after all, there may be home-baked cookies … (7 comments)

solano county: Californian's Save Money On Your Property Taxes! - 09/20/07 12:44 PM
Who wouldn't like to save tax money?  There is a simple LEGAL way to save money on your property taxes for those who are suffering from the current declining market values. All you need to do is take advantage of Proposition 8, which was passed back in 1978. 
What Prop 8 states is that "state law provides for a temporary reduction of the assessed value of real property if the market value of the property as of January 1st is less than its assessed value."  If you believe that the value of your property as of January 1, 2007 is less than the total assessed … (0 comments)
