When Aliso Viejo Real Estate Real Estate turned south a few years back the term “Short Sale” was a new concept to people who were not real estate professionals. Now, five years later it’s rare to come across a buyer or seller who is not familiar with the term. I think it’s safe to say that everyo...

With the Holidays in full swing and most people in the giving spirit I've taken some time to think about the way I do business.  I decided a long time ago that I would always give my customers what they need, regardless of whether it generates business for me or whether or not they like what I ha...

The past few years have been very hard in Real Estate.  Many agents have been forced to change careers and although I have sympathy for those who haven't lasted I do like the outcome of this herd thinning.  I've found that most of my dealings this past year were with very professional agents.  It...

Ever gotten this question?  I went to High School in the early 90's in Orange County California.  Aliso Viejo Homes didn't exist.  It's hard to find Realtors and Engineers my age in Orange County California, and I believe it is because of the 90's recession.  All my friend's parents who were real...

Once or twice a week I receive a phone call from an seller that sounds something like this,   "Hello Keith, I have a problem.  Your title search (property profile) is showing this house as a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom 900 square foot house.  I've been to the property and it is clearly a 3 bedroom, 2 b...
