san diego: ⚔️ The Dual (Agency) Is On in California! 😎
- 04/18/24 06:10 PM
Dual Agency is legal and common in California. In the realm of real estate, dual agency emerges as both a boon and a burden, presenting agents and clients with a dual-edged sword of advantages and pitfalls.
Certainly, dual agency occurs when a broker represents both the buyer(s) and seller(s) in the same transaction. However, it's important to note that while the broker may act as a dual agent, the individual agents involved are not directly considered dual agents themselves, although there may be indirect implications.
On the bright side, dual agency offers the allure of simplicity and efficiency. With a single agent representing … (9 comments)

san diego: Are Lenders Now Getting A Borrower/Broker Agreement?
- 04/10/24 04:19 PM
Are Lenders Getting A Borrower / Broker Agreement?
Would it Maximize Efficiency and Loyalty?
Would the Possible Impact of a Borrower / Broker Agreement in the Mortgage Industry Improve Their Industry and Borrower Experience Equally?
In the fast-paced world of mortgage lending, efficiency and loyalty are paramount for success. Mortgage brokers and lenders are constantly seeking ways to streamline operations, enhance client relationships, and minimize risks.
Given all the news about the NAR lawsuit, and buyer/broker agreements becoming mandatory (which agents should love since it protects their time & income), I pondered "what if?" What if lenders had a powerful tool to address … (14 comments)

san diego: Throwback From 2022 to 2024: The US and San Diego Housing Market Today
- 02/24/24 04:53 PM
I posted this about 2 years ago. I reposted it today to show you that my info is pretty accurate and most news sources are more off-target with facts and on target with sensationalism and click bait! Rates are down, prices are up and inventory is squeaking ever so slowly up.
What's Happening In The US and San Diego Housing Market Today?
It’s probably not going to be a shock that the real estate market is softening. After a record period of low-interest rates (2020-2021), we’ve seen a significant increase in the average mortgage after multiple subsequent rate point hikes from the Fed … (4 comments)

san diego: Choosing a REALTOR®: Practice Partner or Goal Achiever?
- 01/14/24 09:31 AM
Are You Choosing Practice Partner or Goal Achiever?
In the world of real estate, finding the right REALTOR® can make all the difference in turning your property dreams into a reality. But here's the catch: not all REALTORS® are created equal. Some may see you as just another client to practice their skills on, while others are committed to helping you achieve your goals successfully. Many are very transactional, just trying to earn a check, while the more experienced agents lean towards relational, putting your needs ahead of a check. So, the question arises: do you want a practice partner or a … (8 comments)

san diego: The Clock ⌚ and The Compass 🧭
- 01/01/24 07:37 AM
The Clock and The Compass
In the journey of life, we are often faced with a choice: do we follow the ticking of the clock or the guiding direction of the compass? Many of us, knowingly or unknowingly, choose the former, allowing the relentless march of time to dictate our actions and decisions. We become slaves to the daily grind, measuring our worth by the number of tasks we accomplish and the hours we put in at work.
In the realm of real estate, this tendency is especially pronounced. Agents and brokers, driven by the pressure to succeed and the allure of financial … (10 comments)

san diego: Aloha!
- 11/16/23 09:07 AM
I have spent years vacationing and part-time living on Maui, Hawai'i. Whenever I'm there, inevitably people in service, neighbors and strangers will say "Aloha!" (hello, goodbye, love)or "Mahalo" (thank you). I never get pissed off and yell back - "I'm not Hawai'ian!". In fact I accept it as their culture being shared with me, they are greeting me in their own way. "When in Rome".
Between Halloween and New Year's Day, we're in the Holiday Season - something like 14 different holidays are celebrated in Q4. If somebody says Happy Holidays to me I'll typically reply with the appropriate holiday greeting I … (11 comments)

Your action for today
is to see if there is something

I’ve been a paper boy, a caddy, a grocery clerk, a delivery man, a sheet metal worker, a bookstore clerk, a DJ, a house painter, a handy man, a property manager and a REALTOR®. I enjoyed parts of each job or career, and I hated certain parts of each too. One thing I’ll share, is none of it, from minimum wage to no-income-ceiling was easy money but some of it was fun money. I had fun at all of these jobs and businesses … (22 comments)

san diego: California's "Surprise Bill"
- 08/03/23 07:33 AM
I am not a tax advisor, I am not offering any tax advice. I am always going to insist you direct all tax questions to your CPA or Attorney. I'm merely sharing this information as a homeowner, to help other homeowners understand what can be a "surprise bill" in the first year of ownership.
Often, as a REALTOR, I get calls from clients 30 days to 6 months after close of escrow asking "what is this extra tax bill?" even though they were told about it no less than 3 times during escrow...evidenced by signed disclosures.
California's Supplemental Property Taxes have been a … (8 comments)
