Thinking of selling your Placentia, California home? Please call me! I recently listied a  home of my past client. I had SOLD it to them as a Bank Repo back in 1997! I had kept in touch with them over the past 12 years. They knew that even thought my office was in Fullerton I lived not too far from them in Yorba Linda and that I knew Placentia very well. My aggressive Internet marketing plan got this home sold in Just 7 Days! I was able to produce multiple offers for the seller to choose from. The value was much higher than was originally thought we could get the home appraised for. I will keep my fingers crossed for the next week and hope the transaction closes smoothly. In the meantime, I am assisting a buyer  for a Placentia home with No Association Dues or Mello Roos. Looking for a ... 07/10/2009

If you just bought a home in Placentia, Brea, Yorba Linda, Fullerton or any other community in California and are looking for any savings that will help you keep your monthly expenses down, start by filing for your homestead exemption with your Tax Assessor's office. The homestead exemption is a reduction of $7,000 in your tax base as long as the home is your primary residence.  This exemption is not an automatic exemption you must file for it and will only take effect on the year of the next tax assesment. Usually the exemption will not result in anything dramatic but any possible savings that you can get your hands on will help balance your family's budget in times like the ones we are living in. If you have any questions contact me or visit your tax assessor's website.   07/09/2009

A Placentia Yorba Linda Real Estate Agent's Top 5 Reasons to Use a Realtor: I was noticing from talking to my clients that people don't like to sit around when they're ready to buy a home....they are actively looking online themselves. The problems with this is that you have people looking on Zillow.com and Realtor.com and Redfin.com and finding homes that are often already off the market, in escrow, or sold.  Also, these websites do not let the consumer exclude or include features or special conditions (e.g. "short sales").  So, I will often get emails from my clients with MLS #'s saying they would like to see these homes.  Don't get me wrong, Zillow.com and Realtor.com can be good sources of information.  However, when it comes to finding homes that are currently on the market, these ... 04/26/2009

You may be surprised to learn that the number of foreclosures (a.k.a. "REO," "Bank Owned") properties in Placentia is only a mere 14.  That's right, only FOURTEEN foreclosures in all of Placentia as of today, April 21, 2009.  That's less than 3% of all the homes listed in Placentia.  What does that mean?   That means Placentia is one heck of a stout city.  When there are hardly any foreclosures, that means there are hardly any homes that are drastically reduced in price to bring down the comparables.  And what does THAT mean?  That means that Placentia will continue to enjoy home value stability while other areas in Orange County and the Inland Empire are going through mini-depressions. Below is a list of all Placentia bank owned REO properties.  Feel free to contact me at your convenie... 04/21/2009
