simi valley: Replace your home's largest Water-Waster - 11/15/07 09:39 AM
And what is that? Your toilet, of course, in conjunction with your shower and faucets.  In essence, your bathroom is the best place to start, to improve water waste.  Older models of toilets should be replaced with the newer, more efficient ones.  There are even toilets available that recognize dual flush technology.  ( a small flush and a large flush)  It's estimated that a family of four can save nearly 13,000 gallons of water annually, by using a dual-flush toilet. .....that's over 1,000 gallons a month!  Another system to consider would be the low-flow showerhead, which is estimated to save up to 15,000 gallons of water … (1 comments)

simi valley: Foreclosures and the Rental Market - 11/08/07 08:06 AM
In the near term, expected rental hikes are expected.  Rental hikes will probably be seen over the next 2, 3 or even 4 years.  Potential Buyers, whom in the past could qualify for a home loan and home ownership, will no longer have availablity to those sub-prime mortgage packages formerly available....resulting in more home renters.  It's expected that rental prices will steadily rise.  That may be offset because some of the foreclosed homes will not be able t be sold, while others will be convertd into rentals.  More and more people staying in the rental market will drive-up the rental pricing.  … (1 comments)

simi valley: How do you sell a home in today's market??? - 09/25/07 11:02 AM
Selling a home in today's market takes a planned marketing program.  Yes, the home definitley needs to be priced properly, (there is nothing wrong with obtaining a top sales dollar, without trying to go beyond the fair market value)....that just won't work in today's market, nor will it appraise....so no need to go down that road!  In conjunction, the home needs to be exposed by means of "updated" marketing.  What do today's potential buyer's do?  (they look on the internet, verses visiting Open Houses....allowing them to "preview" homes that are properly marketed within the internet).  If you haven't already visited Simivalleyhomesaccess.com. please … (0 comments)

Make certain all smoke detectors within your home are in working condition!  If you are a tenant, smoke detectors are required to be installed and maintained in all dwelling units.  The smoke detector must be in operable condition at the time the tenant takes possession.  If a smoke detector does not work when tested by the tenant, the tenant is responsible for notifying the landlord or property manager.  (the landlord is not obligated to investigate whether detectors are operable during the occupancy).  To repair or replace a faulty smoke detector, the landlord may enter the unit 24 hours after serving a … (0 comments)

simi valley: Let's ALL take pride in our neighborhoods!!! - 09/11/07 11:58 AM
Being a homeowner and resident of Simi Valley for over thirty three years, in addition to being a Realtor for over twenty years, it amazes me how some folks could care less about their home's appearance!  Simple things like maintaining a manicured lawn, removing Chritmas lights "before" February....etc., helps not only a home's value, but the value of an entire neighborhood.  True pride-of-ownership, in a home, is admirable and easily accomplished with a little eblow-grease.  Nothing pleases me more, when it comes to representing First Time Homeowners than to see the "beauty" they bring to their new affordable home.  To me, that … (0 comments)
