Home Staging:  Houses that are Staged, sell faster and for more money in Orange County, CA Statistics prove that houses that are Staged, sell faster and for more money!  How simple is that!?!  Good HOME Staging gives the very best first impression. All of us who Stage have long lists of testimonials from our very happy clients.  We all wish that all Realtors would spread the word about how important the first impression of a home is  when showing a listing.  Buyers cannot imagine how it will be, only what they see. And unfortunately, what they smell!  If you can smell it, you can't sell it! A great tip: Pure Ayre spray.  Some hardware stores carry it and you can also order it from http://stagedhomes/Search.bok?category=Real+Estate+Agent+Cleaning. One 14-ounce bottle goes a long way.  T...

  STAGING: BEFORE AND AFTER REALTORS: WHICH PROPERTY DO YOU THINK YOUR BUYERS WOULD RESPOND TO?  The Property that has been Staged?  Or not? REALTORS: WHICH PROPERTY WOULD GET THE BEST RESULTS FOR YOUR CLIENT FROM YOUR MARKETING EFFORTS? The Property that has been Staged?  Or not?   REALTORS: PLEASE TRY TO CONVEY TO YOUR SELLERS THAT THE INVESTMENT IN STAGING IS ALWAYS FAR LESS THAN THE FIRST PRICE REDUCTION!!! Time after time, the Staging Statistics confirm that Staging is the best investment that your seller can make.  The home pictured above was on the market for one year, un-Staged.  After the client hired a new Realtor, who encouraged Staging, the house had an offer within one month!  Buyers need to imagine themselves living in the space that they see, not what will be, either on-...

The homeowners in Pacifica, San Juan Capistrano will get a 42 percent refund this year from one of their tax bills on Mello-Roos.  The Capistrano Unified School District decided to refund 42 percent of the Mello-Roos property assessment this year on homes in the Pacifica San Juan Capistrano community.  This is a one year only deal.  It is money the school district is collecting, but not allocated or earmarked. Capistrano Unified, which will lose a $204,000 in the deal , agreed to the plan.  This is after months of hearing residents who complained that they are paying full property taxes on a project the was not completed.  The Mello-Roos assessment were collected to fund infrastructure that was never built, including a community center, pool and and elementrary school.  Thus the settlem...

Effective October 5, 2007, California Civil Code Section 1090.5 was enacted to address the problem of the improper influence of real estate appraisers in the State of California.  In the Spring 2009 edition of the Department of Real Estate Bulletin, there is an article describing a list of practices which may constitute evidence of a violation of California Law and should be avoided when engaging the services of a licensed real estate appraiser.   Mortgage Lenders and Real Estate Brokers should read the article to be aware of actions that could lead to potential disciplinary action by the California Department of Real Estate.

San Juan Capistano is a moderately sized community of around 35,000 just inland from Dana Point and north of San Clemente at the southern end of Orange County, California. A 35 minute drive (no traffic) from Carlsbad gets you to this charming historical town to enjoy the shopping, dining, and of the course the famous San Juan Capistrano mission. The town's collection of historical sites, buildings/homes, and artifacts in addition to the charm and beauty of Southern California makes a day trip very worthwhile.    Located just off the 5 freeway (and on both sides), the town is known both for the swallows and the Mission San Juan Capistrano established by Father Junipero Serra in 1776, the 7th of the California missions. There is an extensive history behind the growth and development of th...

My last post was about the Dia de los Muertos Festival in San Juan Capistrano that my wife and I attended. It was held at the public library and featured face painting, dancing and colorful altars dedicated to friends and family. As we wandered through the library we found a small outdoor patio. Normally used as a location for a quiet read today the patio had been set aside for people to pay tribute to someone departed. Small pots of marigolds  were set neatly on the concrete benches and under the pots were placed notes. Marigolds are thought to attract the dead with their pungent scent.   As my wife wrote a note to her mother and sister, a particular note caught my eye. It read simply, "Dad, I hope there are BIG FISH  where you are. I love you." I pictured a father and son or daughter ...

The San Juan Capistrano Library presented a Day of the Dead festival last weekend that my wife and I attended. Dia de los Muertos is a week-long holiday when the souls of the dead return to be with their families for one night, Nov. 1 and the early morning of Nov 2.  The Library featured altars, paintings and best of all ...dancing. But first the altars - the celebration is not sad and dreary but cheerful. People are happy to think that the person they loved will return to be with them and enjoy the pleasures of life with their family. The altar, or Ofrenda, is loaded with the things he or she loved in life because the spirits of the dead return to partake of them (tobasco sauce, adult beverages, etc.).The altar includes four main elements of nature - earth, wind, water and fire.Earth i...
