mls: Don't buy a Brand New Home without using your Realtor!
- 04/12/13 06:17 AM
Dear Clients, Friend & Fellow Realtors, There is a misconception that a Home Buyer would be better off going into a Brand New Home Community. This is ins a major mistake that many home buyers have make for many years. You see, New Home Communities depend on the Realtor to bring in the most qualified, motivated and knowledgeable Home Buyers and have done so for decades. A Realtor screens the client and educates them to the buying process. There is a much higher success rate for Brand New Homes sold to the Client that is brought in by a Realtor. This (2 comments)
mls: Easter Begins the Peak Home Selling Season, can it get any hotter?
- 03/31/13 04:54 PM
It never seizes to amaze me, being from Detroit, Michigan, how the home buying season here in Southern California runs on the same schedule as it does in the snow belt. We have weather in the 90's at time during the Winter but our peak home selling season really start once Easter Arrives. It is also an oddity that the start of the selling season doesn't get started until Easter whether Easter is early or late in the calendar year. Life as a Realtor will surely get even more difficult as our job description is now heavy weighted to being educators. (0 comments)

mls: You can’t pay too much for a home right now!
- 02/17/13 02:03 AM
You can’t pay too much for a home right now! Time, Location, Quality of Life & Future Investment, these are the primary factors that are driving the current real estate market. There is an eight year pent up demand of buyers and sellers that have wanted and needed to move over this period of time. Uncertainty no longer exists. Gone are terrorist threats, stock market crash, loss of jobs, political wavering and home prices declining. What has taken the place is a new fear. Fear is one of the strongest emotions and the fear of lost opportunity is among the worst. (2 comments)

mls: What does MLS mean and why does it exist?
- 01/26/13 03:09 PM
MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service and what this means is the Brokers, Realtors and their companies list their homes in a platform that allows all agents to show homes from any agent or company that wishes to enter their listing in this MLS. The MLS exists in order to bring the most qualified buyers in and allow the home to be shown by any Realtor that is licensed in this real estate board. The MLS is the best way to benefit both sellers because they can garner the top offer. It benefits buyers because a Realtor is allowed to (7 comments)

mls: Location, Location, Location! You need to know what this really means!
- 08/19/10 11:02 AM
The phrase is sometime totally misunderstood. The most important factor when buying a home is the location by far. However, the location is relative to the price range and community desired. The best location is most desired but the best location with homes in the price range is more practical. We can't all live in Beverly Hills or The Hamptons which would be highly desired locations. The best location for the price is determined by several factors including: Safety Quality of Schools Demand for the homes Commute Closeness to Freeway Also within the best community there are factors that make a (2 comments)
It is my style to work within your comfort zone and never let you feel that I am being pushy or rushing you along. Timing is everything in real estate and your family knows this market better than most Realtors. However this is a time that it is essential that I let you know that there is some urgency.
For the first time in many years the number of sales has increased for 4 straight months. This is an indicator that buyers (0 comments)
