Everyone hates short sales, right? Not true. While I can't say that I love them, I don't hate them either. They're just one more niche to learn in an ever-evolving business of niches. And although we may agree that in a perfect world, all we have are standard equity sales... (sorry, had to pause while I laughed out loud, then cried, then contemplated life, now I'm back) ... I really don't mind the idea of mastering different products, different scenarios, different approaches, etc. What I do mind is not being able to overcome one of the most important factors in buying a home: EMOTION! Whether you are a buyer's agent or a listing agent, we've all seen it. The mental re-decorating, the look in a buyer's eye as they position their plasma over the fireplace in their mind, set up the L-shap...

Should You Try to Buy a Huntington Beach Foreclosure? Perhaps you have heard that the best deal is a foreclosure, also known as an REO or a bank owned home. What are the odds of getting a foreclosure? Looking at April's home sales in Huntington Beach, there were only 15 bank owned homes. This means that of all of the homes that sold in Huntington Beach, only 11% of them were REOs. The result is often fierce competition. Because many people believe these are the best deals, there are often numerous offers made on foreclosures in the first few days after they come on the market. Because the competition is so fierce, you may want to consider other options when deciding to purchase a home. Short sales may also offer a good deal. They can be more frustrating as they are depending upon the ba...

How many of you have had this happen.... You've got a client, and you're diligently searching for property for them. You send them listings, you take them out on the weekend and show them 10 - 20 homes, you follow up, and basically spend your very valuable time... for FREE... because you want to help them find a place to call home. And all of a sudden... They stop returning your calls. You're not sure why, but you get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. So you keep trying, maybe even call from different numbers. And finally, you get a hold of them only to hear something like this... "You know, we were out driving around a few weeks ago and we saw this open house. So we went in and it was the house of our dreams. The listing agent told us the only way we'd even have a chance...

"One in four mortgage defaults may be strategic" This sounds like an oxymoron, however,this article on MSN is a great read on what we see day in and day out in the real estate business. More and more homeowners are deciding to strategically default on their mortgage for the reasons outlined in this article. Not all of the homes we see on the market that are being foreclosed are as a result of financial stress or hardship. In some cases, they rationalize defaulting since they are up side down, and it's no longer a good deal to keep on paying for an asset that is loosing value. The ramifications that come from this situation are infinite, and the home owner do have to live with the consequences for years to come. Foreclosure is the most detrimental to your credit since it is viewed as th...

Quote of the Week: Sounds Crazy Might Work "It is possible to do whatever you choose, if you get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power greater than ourselves to do it." ~ Oprah Winfrey Talk Show Host Entrepreneur Good Morning... This email is long overdue. I have met many people lately who do not completely understand the control they have over their 401(k) & IRA plans.  THIS is IMPORTANT. YOU have complete control to do what you want with your 401(k) as it pertains to choice of investments, how much to contribute, whether or not to keep all of your money in your fund managers investments or in cash or both, etc., etc. Most of the people I meet do not take their 401(k) as seriously as they should yet, when surveyed about how they will retire comfortably, the first thi...

TO View our Next Divorcing Home Owners Info Session click the following Button Tonight we had about a dozen folks who showed up to our information session for divorcing home owners to shed light on what they should focus their attention during the divorce proceedings. Whether a divorcing home owner decides to sell or keep a home there is a responsibility that each party has to have complete disclosure of what they are getting into in the way of the real estate asset and any associated liability with it. Most Attorney's assume home loans are liens against the property. But during our evening we had several attorney's present who addmitted they normally do not ask for a home inspection since they customarily require an appraisal. An Appraisal is not a home inspection and we had Leland Hil...
