Photo courtesy of:  http://www.stockfreeimages.com/     I know that some Realtors have the philosophy that you have to have established working hours, and communicate those expectations up from to your clients.  I am flexible, when working with my clients who have variable work hours.   For example my client, a registered nurse, who works 12-hour shifts from 7 am- 7pm.  When scheduling showings, she prefers going in the morning, at the end of her work shift.  It is not uncommon for us to view property as early as 8 am, and on one occasion 8pm.   I had showed another client a "Hot" remodeled, bank owned and under priced townhome that was just listed.  After seeing this property, it would be perfect for my registered nurse client.  So, we scheduled an appointment to see the townhome on S...

I was just on the MLS setting up appointments for showing tomorrow with my client.  He's interested in finding a newer townhome in Carson and generally in the $375,000-$425,000 price range.  In searching the homes that he's interested in seeing it never ceases to amaze me the sheer volume of short sales.  Of the ten homes he's hoping to see....9 of them are short sales.  As Carson is one of the lower priced areas of the South Bay, it shouldn't be surprising that it was one of the hardest hit communities, but it makes it a challenge for both buyers and sellers.  Click here to view the current Carson real estate listings.

The Basics of Making an Offer A written proposal is the foundation of a real estate transaction. Oral promises are not legally enforceable when it comes to the sale of real estate. Therefore, you need to enter into a written contract, which starts with your written proposal. This proposal not only specifies price, but also all the terms and conditions of the purchase. For example, if the seller offered to help with $2,000 toward your closing costs, make sure that's included in your written offer and in the final completed contract, or you won't have grounds for collecting it later. REALTORS® have standard purchase agreements and will help you put together a written, legally binding offer that reflects the price as well as terms and conditions that are right for you.  Your REALTOR® will...

  Moving can definitely be a stressful undertaking - and not just for the humans in your family. When you're in the midst of relocating, take special care to minimize the stresses on your pets.  Which Mode of Transportation is Best? First, decide how you're going to transport your pets. If you're relocating within the same city, moving your animals will be relatively simple. If you're moving a few hours away or more, then you'll be looking at a long road trip which can become arduous for everyone in the car. You may want to consider transporting your cats or dogs by air. Most states have laws regarding the entry of dogs, cats, horses, and parrots. If you're moving interstate, contact the State Veterinarian of your new home state to find out what regulations apply to your pets. Take your...

 If you've decided to go ahead and sell your house, it's important to have a sales strategy planned out before you even put your house on the market. It's also important to have a strategy that both you and your agent agree on, right down to the last detail. With all the details of your plan firmly in place, you'll have a strategy that will help your sale go more quickly and more smoothly when you start receiving offers from buyers. What Should a Good Strategy Include?Your sales strategy should incorporate two mini-plans, one for marketing your property, and the other for financial considerations and interacting with buyers.Marketing your house effectively is a crucial part of the sales process. Marketing is designed to get as many people as possible through your front door, because the...

 When you sell your home, the profit you make can be subject to the capital gains tax. Understanding how the capital gains tax laws operate may help you pocket more of the profits. While it's important to talk to your tax advisor about your specific situation, here are a few guidelines to help you get started.Capital gains tax rates are determined by a combination of:The profit from the sale of your home Your overall income (your tax bracket) The length of time you held your investment (in this case, your home)When selling your primary residence, you may be permitted to exclude up to $250,000 profit from the sale on your tax return.

How to Sell Your Starter Home First-time buyers typically have less money to spend on a home than more experienced property owners. If you're selling a smaller home, with one or two bedrooms and bathrooms, you may want to consider marketing your property as a starter home. To sell a starter home quickly, you'll have to balance affordability with attractiveness and utility. Starter homes tend to be less aesthetically pleasing, but a quick sale is possible if you can make up for it in other ways.Choose Touches that Will Attract First-time BuyersA first-time buyer will likely want a home that is low-maintenance, with a yard that doesn't require a lot of upkeep. Inside, consider heavy-duty carpeting and washable paint. Outside, plant frost- or drought-tolerant plants and add plenty of mulch...

Buy a House for the Right ReasonsEverybody has a different set of reasons for buying a new house. Some are good and some not so good. Buying for the wrong reasons - or buying when you're not ready for ownership - can be financially devastating. Before you make that commitment, think about why you're buying and hopefully you can avoid making some potentially very costly mistakes.The Wrong Reasons1. It's less expensive than renting. Is it? There are plenty of "hidden" costs associated with home ownership - things like property taxes, insurance, and home maintenance. If you're thinking of buying a home for this reason, investigate all those hidden costs before you make any commitments.2. It's a safer investment than the stock market. Not necessarily. Property can be a great investment, but...

Look before you leap! Too many times we move foward with out looking both ways before we cross the street, and it could be costly during a transaction.  Requirements for sale of homes vary from city to city, and it's important that you familiarize yourself with these requirements to ensure a smooth sale.I want yall to be informed out there, okay? That's my job!(forgive the "yall" thing, I can't seem to shake some of my Texan vocab)If you own a home in Carson and want to sell it, you  may not be aware that as of July 1, 1999, the City of Carson requires a RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY REPORT (RPR) be obtained from the city BEFORE the sale, exchange, or transfer of previously occupied residential property.

I don't know about you, but I like to know about the history of how towns came about, especially where you live.  Knowing the history of your city helps you understand the environment around you better, and gives you a greater appreciation (besides of your home) of the place where you decided to settle & raise your family.    Blast From the Past: (Don't you just luv history??!)Carson was part of a Spanish Land Grant known as Rancho San Pedro deeded to Juan Jose Dominguez over 200 years ago. During the incorporation process, the community was named after George Henry Carson, a member of the Dominguez family. "Dominguez" was a close second to "Carson" as the name for the newly incorporated city. Incorporated as a general law city on February 20, 1968, the city adopted the motto of "Future...
