Hello Everyone,I recently read a article about a Realtor patting herself on the back in my market because someone broke into a vacant house she had listed and took the appliances. She went on to say how awesome she is because the seller was reimbursed. So here is the problem, where I work the crime rate is pretty high and police force is pretty low. In fact, if someone gets into a house and says "I live here"  the police are called, they arrive,  then will call it a civil matter you will have to work it out win the courts  so intruders  have free housing for the next 3-4 months. Putting a "For Sale Sign" in front of a house in my market invites the homeless and intruders its a Billboard for them in code it means Please Enter! So why would this realtor pur her Sign in front of that house... 03/17/2025

I would like to cover 1 more time how marketing your property correctly is so important! The comparables and condition for this property said market value was around 329k. We received multiple offers 3 and it sold for 350k. So selling off market is a "Bad Idea" Selling to your listing agent before it goes on market "Bad Idea" Selling to your listing agents contractor friend off market "Bad Idea" Selling to your listing agents relative off market "Bad Idea" Your home is worth what someone is "Willing To Pay" so if you dont market your home for sale the correct way to the world/everyone ( Via the Internet for a least a week!) that your home is on the market for sale, chances are your not selling at market value.

Hello Everyone, I just recently received a offer form a local broker in the Vallejo area and she was charging her buyer client a $699.00 FEE to do there paperwork. Did you know that agent is already being compensated to do this by the seller?  I have been selling homes in Vallejo CA 18 years and have never seen something that shrewd. We as Realtors have a duty to look out for the community during there home purchase  "Not" take advantage of a first time home buyer.  I mentioned to that Broker "Hey" why are you charging a ridiculous fee like that and of coarse all it did was make her angry. So next time your making a Vallejo CA home purchase make sure your representation is not charging you for anything because they should not be and if they are legally I suppose they could but there are... 06/29/2024

Dear Friends Clients and future Clients, So as you have probably been seeing and hearing ( social media) the realtors bragging about selling a home in 6 minutes, before it went on market and so on claiming how great they are. These posts really says one thing that they did a disservice to the seller by not marketing the property for a least a week thru a weekend. The reason they should have was because during that time it was normal to receive 5 or sometimes 10 offers in Vallejo and basically that means all the other buyers were shut out and would/could have wrote a better offer because of the competition. Well those times are gone but thats the way it was for those agents who either double ended the sale or sold to there best Realtor buddy which is unfortunate but the real truth. Now l... 09/08/2022

Investment Property Jumbo Mortgage with Low Down Payment Since I'm in California, and property values where I live and work tend to be on the, shall we say, higher side, residential real estate investors --- those looking to purchase a home of 1- to 4-units to be used as an income-producing property --- can sometimes be limited in their attractive jumbo mortgage options.  This is especially true if they are looking to keep their down payment as low as possible.  Many potential rental property buyers are told flat out that even a 20% down payment is California dreamin', and that a jumbo loan on a duplex or triplex, for example, requires a 30 or even 35% down payment.  So in addition to being known for good vibrations and sun, let's talk about our proclivity for innovation and examine som... 07/11/2019

What Is a Debt Service Coverage Ratio Mortgage? Real estate investors have long turned to private money loans when conventional mortgage lenders have determined that either they, with their multiple property holdings, or the properties they are looking to buy, pose too great a risk.  But for its benefits of closing quickly and not involving an intrusive qualifying process based on ability-to-repay (ATR), hard money loans are expensive and most often have terms that require the investor to refinance or pay off the loan in the short term --- not an ideal fit for those who own, or are building, a portfolio of rental properties and who are looking to stabilize their cash flow.  Enter the DSCR or "debt service coverage ratio" mortgage.  This unique program seeks to provide the investor with ... 06/06/2019
