valencia: Reasons to Blog & Reaching 400,000 Points - 12/20/16 03:47 PM
Blogging became a new thing somewhere aroud ten years ago.  Many of us chose to do the in thing because it was the thing to do.  For me, it was a bit different.  The reasons for writing a Blog post are much the same as the reasons for being involved with social media.  I like to know that one day, long after I'm gone, someone will read my writings and either like what I've written, learned about life when I exsited or perhaps it might be a historical insight to the time I existed.  I believe that we all want there … (6 comments)

valencia: Questions from a first time buyer - 12/09/16 10:18 AM
1. Contingencies related to inspection of house What should be included in the offer? (mold, termites, water damage, etc..) If the inspection reveals such items, how is it resolved?  Is that something enumerated in the offer? Are there any inspection results that could lead to an automatic termination of the contract? The contract defaults to "buyer has the right to have any inspection they deem necessary provided the home is returned to original condition. The acceptance of the offer gives 17 days to have all inspections.  Conditions revealed must be either agreed upon or repairs negotiated. If no agreement is reached … (4 comments)

Thanksgiving for us is a time to slow down and reflect.  Our appreciation for the life God has given us extends to many aspects of life.  Family is at the top of the list.  Our parents, children and grandchildren have made us the happy people that we are today.  Friends are also a large part of our life's enjoyment.  One of the most underrated people are acquaintances.  These are people that are the largest part of our lives even though they are not as close.  Of course our past, present and future clients such as you are also near the top … (0 comments)

valencia: The Electoral College System truth or dare? - 10/14/16 05:31 PM
The electoral college system was originally set up so all regions of the United States of America would have an equal voice.  The idea was to prevent a state or region of the country from dictating to the rest of the nation or imposing their beliefs just because the vast majority in that region were predominately of one mind set.  Let's say all of California, New York, Florida & Texas believed that no one should own a home.  They would have such a large amount of the population that their special interest may get the numbers to pass the vote.  That … (4 comments)

valencia: Please tell me you didn't add Solar! - 07/17/16 09:02 AM
It seems like our nation is falling in line for savings on Solar Energy.  This all seems well and good as the savings can be incredible.  There is a major flaw in these programs that are either not explained or the ramifications are not comprehended by the consumer.  It may well be true that at the present time the savings are good and ever perhaps great and in 90 or 100 degree heat keeping the home as cool as 73 degrees for a low cost during the hot times of the year if fun and enjoyable.
The flaw in the ointment is … (4 comments)

valencia: 4th of July Events & Fireworks Shows 2016 Santa Clarita & California - 06/26/16 08:26 AM
Our Fellow Americans,
It is time to once again celebrate our nations independence with food, drink, family, friends and of course Fireworks Shows.  Freedom isn't Free but earned by the blood and sweat of those that came before us.  It scares me to think of what the Revolutionary War Soldiers had to endure for us to live in Freedom.  Strength, Courage, Loyalty, Dedication, Sacrifice are just the tip of the iceberg.  We honor them by enjoying the Freedom they earned us.  People fortunate enough to join our nation need to also appreciate what it took for us to have Freedom.  No one … (0 comments)

valencia: Will your decision today change the future? - 03/20/16 04:11 AM
Spring of 2016 enters with a shortage of housing.  Rising prices and the potential of the rise of interest rates will make it more difficult for first time buyers to compete for a home.  Pent up demand with many buyers sitting on the fence continues to fuel the unlimited supply of buyers for the dwindling inventory.  Compound this with the fact that Millennials, about 83.1 million, now outnumber Baby Boomers.  The housing market has recovered since the start of the recession in 2006.  However prices are still below the prices at the peak of the market.  There are more qualified buyers … (2 comments)
