Today’s Buyer is Thinking Green   Here’s a great infographic I wanted to share with you from Realtor.org.  Being an agent in Southern California, I have had my fair share of eco-conscious Buyers that are looking for ways to Go Green.  From methods as complex as solar panels to live “off the grid” or as commonplace as Energy Star appliances and fixtures, many more people are interested in reducing their carbon footprint as well as conserving water.   Today’s Buyer is Thinking Green   In this severe drought we are experiencing in California, a popular choice for landscaping is using drought-resistant and/or native plants, or even foregoing landscaping altogether and installing a rock garden.   Today’s Buyer is Thinking Green     So check out this infographic and comment below what you hav...

Real Estate & Technology Go Hand-In-Hand   As Agents, the latest technology is key to keeping up with the times and continuing a steady business flow.  From Buyers searching for properties to Sellers marketing their home, an ad in the newspaper just doesn't cut it anymore.  We are WAY beyond that now!    According to this infographic from CAR.org, an astounding 89% say they use online resources in the process of home buying.  It doesn't end at searching for a property either.  Researching an Agent, Lender, property values, neighborhoods, etc., is all part of the process.  Having an Agent that is tech savvy on top of being markey savvy is the way to go.   Real Estate & Technology Go Hand-In-Hand   When I'm working with a Buyer, we use MLS searches as well as e-mail blasts and postings to...

As you can see from this visual, millennial home buyers want answers and they want them now!    I think this is true for ALL human beings who are buying or selling a home.   More often than not, the purchase or sale of a property will be one of the largest financial transactions a person will complete in their lifetime and having a Professional on their side to guide them through and answer questions as they arise is KEY to getting the deal done!   Communication is Key to Opening Doors in Real Estate   Agent response times are one of the biggest complaints clients have. When they have urgent questions that come up, they want answers ASAP & their agent is expected to get back to them in a timely manner.    Buyers considering a property want all of the information about that home at the t...
