buyers agent: Is it okay to use the Seller's Agent to make my offer? - 05/16/16 04:44 AM
 
 
Hi folks, Temple Schneider Callahan here, Owner / Broker of Connect Real Estate Services..Operating here locally in Ventura County; helping Ventura County's BEST home buyers and home sellers.   Today I want to tell you about, "What is Dual Agency?"

A slang term for it used by agents is, "double ending." Alright, so what is "dual agency," who does the Agent actually work for? A lot of questions around this topic..   The Agency … (0 comments)

buyers agent: Using a Buyer's Agent to Buy a House - Is it always the best idea? - 02/04/16 07:51 PM
 
[Buyer's Agent's please don't hate me]

buyers agent: Want The REAL Scoop About The Home You're Buying? *ASK THE RENTERS*! - 09/02/10 05:46 AM
In today's market, a lot of homes for sale have tenants, or renters living there during the escrow process.  As you are going through the home buying process, keep in mind that Renters can prove to be your best resource for honest, and up-to-date disclosure about the home.  There may or may not be some feelings about having to move out, but in any case it's still highly beneficial to you, to have a conversation with the people who have lived at the home that you are planning to buy.  The information that they give you can be checked out by a Licensed Contractor, which may prove … (3 comments)

5 Tips for Touring Homes You Might Buy...

Remember this, your evaluation starts when you first set foot in a home.  Granted, no house is perfect, but it helps you to negotiate a better deal if you know about its problems early.  Plus, during your inspection period, you will chose a Home Inspector, who will look over the house thoroughly and give you a good understanding of the property's condition. 
1.      See how much sunlight the place getsVisit during the day. Imagine the trees with leaves - they may block your view, or provide some welcome shade.
