The Paradise Virtual Tour: a Tool for the 21st Century   My clients know how hard I strive to make every one of their home showings count. I know that your time is valuable, so cutting down on prospects who are not genuinely interested in homes like yours will conserve your energy for showings likely to pay off. It’s why creating a Paradise Virtual Tour can be so invaluable. According to the National Association of Realtors®, last year 90% of homebuyers used the Internet during their search. More and more frequently, what these buyers were looking for was to view a virtual tour of homes that piqued their interest. As the name suggests, a virtual tour gives potential buyers the chance to look both inside and outside of homes on their own computer, tablet or smartphone screen. Buyers simp... 01/14/2014

Childproofing Your Paradise Home When it comes to decorating your home, there’s a lot more to consider than simply coordinating your window treatments with your carpet. This is especially true if you have children in the home, which presents a whole new concern for keeping them safe and sound. Take A Look Around When you take a quick glance throughout your home, what do you see? Is the home decorated for an adult or a child? If your little one is like most, he/she has a lot of energy and isn’t afraid to use it. To prevent a hard spill, many families replace hardwood or tile flooring with plush carpet or rugs for a little extra padding. If your child stumbles and falls, the extra cushioning will come in handy. Do you have any furniture with glass inserts or sharp corners, or do you see a... 01/07/2014

Paradise Area Real Estate Values: No Kidding Around! Whenever you hear that a neighbor’s house is on the market, the same question flashes through nearly every homeowner’s mind: how much are they asking? That’s because of the nature of residential markets: our own homes’ real estate values (in fact, all Paradise real estate values) are connected with one another, and that asking price is an estimate of the current state of affairs. It has to be reasonable in order to attract the attention of serious buyers — but if it’s too reasonable, on closing day the seller will walk away with a lighter bank account than necessary. Real estate values in Paradise and Magalia are determined in large part by what other similar homes have recently sold for. These comparable sales show what a real world ... 01/03/2014

Why buy high and sell low? Avoid rent increases. I think you’d probably agree that the worst investing advice in the world is: Buy high, sell low. That’s the very definition of losing money on an investment, right? So let me ask you: Why would you wait for the housing market to improve before buying a house? I understand there’s a lot of uncertainty out there. Job security is questionable, unemployment is high, and you’re not sure what it takes to get pre-approved for a home loan. It’s scary. But here’s the thing: Letting fear dictate your financial strategy for the future is a guaranteed way to pay too much for a house in the years to come.  Put fear aside for just a moment. Here are some facts: - Interest rates are at or close to historic lows  - Prices for homes have plunged to the l... 01/12/2012

Paradise, California - 5 Tips to Save Money for First-Time Home Buyers Those who missed taking advantage of the first-time buyer tax credit but who are still planning the purchase of their first home, continue to have a wealth of opportunities in today’s marketplace. A few smart steps can save first-time buyers thousands of dollars. Here is a look at some of the ways how: 1. Don’t buy if you don’t plan to stay If you can’t commit to remaining in one place for at least a few years, then owning is probably not for you, at least not yet. With the transaction costs of buying and selling a home, you may end up losing money if you sell any sooner – even in a rising market. When prices are falling, it’s an even worse proposition. 2.
