The most typical wish list of a selling home owner are; Selling for the highest sale price (of course!) An "all cash" offer - would be nice... If we don't get an "all cash offer," then an offer with a large down payment... Fast escrow period (fast closing) - fast contingency period... Utilize as many tax loopholes as possible, and avoid paying excess taxes on capital gains! Often times the Seller can have most of their needs met in an "installment sale," as opposed to a regular sale using a … (1 comments)

homes for sale: The BEST General Contractor To Refer... (Ventura County, CA)
- 10/19/09 01:37 PM
Hi All, I just had a scare the skin off me, "heart attack" moment, and I desperately needed the help of a certain local General Contractor. What had happened... I listed a home for sale, and my Seller had forgotten to disclose that there had been some water intrusion (pipe burst) 3 years earlier. It was a vacation home, and the Sellers didn't even think of the details because it was 3 years earlier, and the tenant (their son) had primarily dealt with it. It was the day before Docs, and the Buyers were demanding proper disclosure (the construction contract, receipt of payment, insurance … (4 comments)

homes for sale: How Do You Set Priorities...?
- 10/12/09 06:58 AM
In our busy world it's so easy to get caught up in the details and forget what's really important. When I feel that happening to me, I pull out this story to remind me to stop - think - and remember what the "rocks" are in my life. Here's a quick story for you; A philosophy professor stood quietly in front of the class, waiting for students to take their seats. When they were ready, he silently took an empty mayonnaise jar from his desk and filled it to the top with rocks, about two inches in diameter. When he was done he asked the students … (4 comments)
homes for sale: Keep On Climbing That Mountain! You WILL Find The RIGHT HOME For You!!
- 10/11/09 05:27 AM
Good Morning! It's Sunday October 11th... Brandon's (my husband) birthday today!! Happy Day!! I had an "ahh ha" moment recently and I thought I'd share it with you! I was reading about a famous mountain climbing resort over in the Swiss Alps. They have this one "beginner mountain," and several times a month, different companies bring their employees as a group to climb up the mountain together. It's a special exercise that is meant to build camaraderie and teach teamwork. It's about an eight-hour hike to the top of the mountain so the group normally gathers at the base about eight in the morning. At the … (0 comments)

- 10/10/09 06:10 AM
Hi there, Here's some information about my experience choosing a new Broker, that you may find helpful. I've been selling homes for almost 6 years now, and due to my Broker electing not to Broker anymore - I had to find a new Broker to work under.

(By the way, I didn't know this before, but "ERA" is a National real estate franchise, and is gaining popularity here in California...) Here's the … (0 comments)

homes for sale: Who is Packing Your Parachute?
- 10/10/07 11:28 AM
Every now and then I hear a story that is so great - I just have to pass it on to the people who I care about... I heard this from my coaching program: By Referral Only. Here it is: Charles Plump was a U.S. navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent six years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal, and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience. One day when Plumb and his wife were sitting … (1 comments)
