temecula: What Kind of Agent Do You Have After the Sale?
- 02/24/09 10:34 AM
Getting a deal to closing isn't always an easy task.Today with short sales and REOs - bank owned properties - it isn't like the good old days. Everything doesn't fall into beautifully into place. There aren't eager sellers to pretty up the homes, plant colorful flowers out front and make sure the place smells delicious. In Southern California-Temecula/Murrieta - we are just thrilled that the banks are paying to turn on the water and pay for yard service! The people that are trying to short sale their homes have neither the money or the inclination to stage their homes. It is so … (5 comments)
temecula: Is The Glass Getting Half Full?
- 02/23/09 08:40 AM
Is the glass half full or half empty? We have all known people that are eternal pessimist that will never see anything but the half empty glass---even in the best of times in the Real Estate market. You know the type, the sellers that weren't happy with "just" a two hundred thousand profit, in the good old days, because "I'm not giving away this home---do you think I'm that stupid?" They conveniently forgot that they pulled out a hundred thousand for personal use and now they were still going to get $200,000 on top of that! Now our homes here in Temecula … (1 comments)
temecula: What came First - the Chicken or the Egg?
- 10/29/08 08:27 PM
Wow! This has been a wild time here in Southern California. We have seen real estate hit magnificent highs and plummet to about half of their top values. We have more than our share of "bank owned" homes in our market---in fact, they make up most of our market right now. Here in Temecula/Murrieta - one hour north of San Diego - we are a town - city - with a middle to upper-middle population. When I talk to people, I have realized that these aren't the "dead beats" that were caught in "sub-prime" loans. There are basically two stories here. First there are … (1 comments)
temecula: Is There Any Magic Formulas?
- 08/09/07 10:26 AM
Today as I was thinking about my business this year, a lot of question came up.I have been so lucky - lucky, or maybe just a lot of hard work - the first part of the year. I have been so busy with lots and lots of "old" clients. By old I really mean "sphere of influence" or repeat clients. Homes got sold, homes got bought, families got moved and all is good in our part of Southern California - the Temecula Valley to be specific. Now everyone that could possibility move, that I have any contact with, is all fixed up! Where … (8 comments)

Historic Temecula offers year around entertainment. We have everything from the Balloon and Wine Festival to the Blue Grass Festival, Auto Shows and the Street Painting Festival.

I love the beautiful flowers this time of the year in Temecula, California.
