Don’t get all wet. Prepare for the rainy season-it's not too late.As Benjamin Franklin once said, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The best time to prepare is in the dry season, but if time got away from you, here's some tips you can still implement, better late than never.
As San Diego and the rest of the country have been hit by multiple storm fronts, I'm reminded it really is worth taking a look around your house before or between storm fronts, because finding out you have a problem during inclement conditions is at best inconvenient and … (11 comments)

homes for sale: Housing Forecast 2021 - 01/28/21 08:07 AM

Housing Forecast for 2021
At the end of 2019, forecasters were predicting a stellar 2020 for the housing market. Then came the global pandemic, which initially created chaos and uncertainty and derailed a booming economy into a recession. The economic recovery has been v-shaped so far, but this isn’t the end. And as the economy unfolds, it has produced clear winners and losers among the different sectors. 
One of the big winners has been the housing market, which saw home sales and prices hit decade-plus highs following decade lows in the span of just a few months. Expect housing’s winning streak to continue … (6 comments)

homes for sale: Take Action: Education & Experience is a Better Shield - 12/31/20 07:37 AM
 
"If you want your children to keep their feet on the ground,
put some responsibility on their shoulders."
~ Columnist, Abigail van Buren
 
 
Teen suicide rates are up in 2020 due to the pandemic.
“Helicopter parents” while well meaning, are doing such a disservice to their children. They are literally protecting their kids from the same experiences that taught themselves how to be independent, make decisions and handle/overcome disappointment and tragedy. We learn from the falls, not the saves, the drops not the catches. I am a Dad and I practice what I preach.

homes for sale: Zooming (Safely) Through a Tour of Homes in San Diego, CA - 04/25/20 06:25 PM
Back To Work! Zooming (Safely) Through a Tour of Homes in San Diego, CA
I performed my first Zoom tour today with 3 buyers watching me
tour them through 4 houses.
It took 90 minutes longer than it would have if we were all
attending in person, but it felt great to keep my clients, myself
and ultimately our families safe.
All 4 properties were vacant. The tour took 2.5 hours.
 
I called 3 listing agents Friday and called one on the fly today as we added a fourth property mid tour. We discussed my typical due diligence questions and COVID-protocols. 
 
One asked me for our new COVID-19 CAR Form … (12 comments)

Pause, Plan, Pivot, Proceed!
I’m sharing a philosophy I practice, born of deeply personal events in my life. I’m not preaching at you, nor do I seek converts; I'm simply sharing and I know you can think for yourself...chew the meat and spit out the bones.
I will not buy into the media sensationalized hype, I will not abide negative chicken little people and I will not cower in fear even, though I am aware of the seriousness of this virus and the state of the world. I believe the responsible thing to do is stay home, stay healthy and not hoard supplies. I understand … (26 comments)

Uncertain Times?  Certainly Not!
 Remaining positive and productive while staying informed.
 
 
I certainly am going to work out daily, as usual. Staying healthy is critical. I just won't do it at the gym. (5 mile hikes with my dog have been my exercise of choice 5x week).
I certainly will shower and dress for work each day. I just have a really short commute to my home office across the hall.
I certainly will limit my exposure to sensationalized, fear mongering news. I will stay informed through a balanced and trusted "mutual fund" of resources.
I certainly will work in my business per "usual". I just won't … (45 comments)

homes for sale: What If Your Coach Ticket Got You Seated in First Class? - 05/21/18 08:21 PM

I can build a relational career on good people; I can't sustain a positive attitude nor a fulfilled purpose when it's just about numbers or closing transactions. For me it's not about how much you can afford to spend as a buyer and it's not about how much the market says your home is worth as a seller; it's about the relationship I'm able build with you through that transaction that leads to the client's advocacy and their future referrals. You pay the bills closing transactions, you build a career serving the needs of your clients through mastery and excellence at a level that exceeds … (13 comments)

Value Proposition Part 4 of 4
(A September Active Rain Challenge) 
 
Marketing Plan & Price Position
My #1 job as a Listing Agent is to create maximum exposure through my Custom Listing Marketing Plan and positioning my clients' properties to yield a higher sales price than it would have with any other agent or For Sale By Owner. Exposure creates interest, interest sparks demand, demand attracts multiple offers, multiple offers provide choices and opportunity!
 
A Yard Sign & MLS entry is not where this ends! Price positioning is key because the first two weeks are crucial market time; this is when the most experienced and ready-to-buy-buyers come through the property. … (3 comments)

homes for sale: FAQ #7: What Is The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) in San Diego, CA - 06/26/17 10:21 PM
Some of the best advice my trainers and coaches ever gave me is:
Never use in inside language on the outside world.
My friend Joe found that out when he assumed everybody knew what the MLS was and never mentioned it during a listing presentation, he assumed they knew.
He lost the listing!
He lost it because the other agent the couple interviewed told them about how he'd broadcast their home to every agent in the area and cooperating areas too. Joe was in shock, "all that is...is the MLS?!?" Joe presumed they knew he'd "of course" be posting their home their, so he … (1 comments)

Smart Tips For The San Diego, CA  ANY Home Sellers
 
 
Many sellers have the impression that in order to sell a home, you just have to list it, especially since it's been a seller's market in most areas of CA since Q4 of 2011. While listing on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is certainly part of the process, there’s quite a bit of preparation to undertake before your home’s listing goes “live” on the MLS.
 
Here are the steps to take when you’re thinking of selling your home. Selling is an emotional process, whether you’ve lived in the home for two years or 20 years. In … (8 comments)
