It isn't often that you walk into a short sale listing these days, and find the house to be totally clean, spotless actually, and ready to move in to. This Hemet jewel was built in 1990 (20 years new), is in a great neighborhood, lose to shopping, schools, transportation.  Offering 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths, and just about 1374 square feet, this home can be yours for the asking. Just fell out of escrow, has short sale approval at $108,000.  Gets morning sun on the front, and the patio cover in the back keeps that afternoon sun in check. AND, NO HOA and NO MELLO ROOS.  Wow, what a steal. MLS#100026308 (Sandicor)

It's no wonder that NAR says that, "90% of all buyers used the internet to search." We have seen this first hand, and especially over the last few months. When people relocate to other states, it's a long distance move. These people usually start by researching the city on the Internet. More times than not, they find one of our 1,100+ relocation websites. If they're serious, they'll request help in a possible home purchase. Due to a very large demand, we need a Buyer's Agent in Hemet that is able to assist these prospective home buyers. These families and individuals are wanting assistance from a Realtor, and if you would like to get in contact with them, we need to talk soon. Time is of the essence, and we only need 1 Realtor to be able to contact these people. We NEVER send people to ...

If you have a home to sell in the Hemet - San Jacinto CA Valley, you have a 1 in 350 shot of picking the right one for you.  There are many good agents in the Hemet San Jacinto Valley that can do the job the right away and there are a handful of great agents - but how do you pick the right one from the 350 members of the Hemet San Jacinto Association of REALTORS®?I have a list of 13 questions I provide sellers that they should ask when interviewing an agent and finding the one who is right for you...1)  Do you work full-time as a REALTOR®, or part time? You should only consider working with a full time agent, otherwise you re bound to run into situations where your agent cannot communicate with other players in the transaction, including you.  Full time should also equate to more attent...

I have said for a long time that the Hemet - San Jacinto CA real estate market is one of the most affordable in the country and that a buyer with $200,000 could buy just about anything we have listed in our local MLS.So I got to thinking, what could a million bucks buy in different markets across the country?  so, I jumped over to Zillow to do some research and check out what I found. with a search criteria of $950,000 to $1,25,000...   HEMETUnfortunately, there is nothing in this field in the local Hemet - San Jacinto real estate market, according to Zillow.  What I did find as the most expensive listing in Hemet is a home with 2,881 sq ft  and 3 bedrooms that was built in 1931 on 2.36 acres for $810,000.  The real value here, of course, is the land,   SAN JACINTO Across the valley, in...

In the Hemet - San Jacinto, CA Valley we have been hit hard, as a community, with more than our fair share of foreclosures and bank owned (REO) homes for sale in our little neck of the woods known as the Inland Empire, CA.As a small board, the Hemet San Jacinto Association of REALTORS (HSJAOR) belongs to SoCalMLS which uses the SentriLock electronic lock box system.  Every board that surrounds us uses the Supra system.  The two are not compatible.  At a cost of almost $100 per lock box and an inventory of over 20 lock boxes, I am not interested in investing into a new system.What bothers me is when out of the area agents get listings in this market and install their Supra Lock boxes on inventory in this market - thereby locking out local agents from selling local inventory.This is not a...

The Dawn of a New Decade brings the Dawn of Consumer Rights When Shopping for a MortgageJanuary First is typically a day when many new laws across the land become effective...and this year is no different.  The Department of Housing & Urban Development made one very important change to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 law that is known as RESPA in the industry is now mandating that ALL mortgage lenders provide the consumer with the same information in the same format.There is no doubt that this is too little too late for the homeowners who are currently at risk of losing their homes, but had these new rules been in effect 5 years ago, there is a good chance we would not be experiencing the meltdown of the American economy that we are.  I have no doubt this will definite...

Buying a home has many different aspects.  As a REALTOR® my job begins when I first meet my buyers and LISTEN to what they are looking for.  If I believe I can HELP - then we are off to look at houses, until we find the right home in the right neighborhood.My job, as a REALTOR® then progresses as I help draw the offer, making sure we cover all of the important issues to my buyer and structure the offer so we have the best opportunity to beat out other offers that are probably competing for this home, in the current market.My job is to negotiate and do the best I can for my buyers to help get their offer accepted and an escrow open.  My job then is to make sure my buyers have at their disposal my team of third party vendors and allow them to select and schedule a home inspection.Once, th...

Start by finding out its worth. Contact a Top Agent for a comparative market analysis, an informal estimate of value based on the recent real estate selling price of similar Hemet - San Jacinto, CA neighborhood properties. Or get a certified appraiser to provide an appraisal.My own personal speciality is to provide a proprietary Master Market Analysis, or MMA - it's like a CMA on steroids. Next, get busy working on the home's appearance. You want to make sure it is in the best condition possible for showing to prospective buyers so that you can get top dollar. This means fixing or sprucing up any trouble spots that could deter a buyer, such as squeaky doors, a leaky roof, dirty carpet and walls, and broken windows. The "curb appeal" of your home is extremely important. In fact, it is th...

When selling a home in any real estate market, one of the most important things to consider is price. You may want to reduce the price of your home or, at the very beginning, set it at a low price that will generate more buyer interest.  You will best be served by getting in front of the market, when trying to sell your Hemet - San Jacinto, CA home rather than chasing the market with price reductions.Cash is often an incentive, both for the buyer as well as the agent. You could offer the buyer a $1,000 to $2,000 decorating rebate upon closing the deal. It is also not uncommon to offer the selling agent (buyers agent) a $500 bonus or more for closing escrow by a certain date. However, some brokers-who supervise agents and run real estate offices-may prohibit such incentives, as do some R...

Once furniture is removed from the home, you will notice all kinds of imperfections you never paid attention to before-rips in the carpet, holes in the walls, and dinginess.  In an empty Hemet - San Jacinto, CA house, everything stands out.  What you see is what potential buyers will also see. So you may need to paint, tear up old carpet, and replace the kitchen floor.  These repairs are often referred to as "Cosmetics" and if done right should not only recoup the cost of the cosmetic repairs but be able to separate your Hemet - San Jacinto, CA home for sale from the other homes buyers will be considering in the real estate marketplace.To get rid of the "empty house" feeling, leave a few pieces of furniture behind-simple things like a lamp, chairs, and a table will do.  Maybe an inexpen...

As an active REALTOR® in the Hemet San Jacinto, Ca real estate marketplace, I am repeatedly asked specific questions about today's real estate market - especially in today's economy.

The new year and the second decade of the 21st century is only a few days away.  Doesn't seem that long ago that we were all panicked at the Y2K bug possibilities and the unknown of the 21st Century.  Certainly with the events of 9/11 and the wars in the Middle East, it has not been Utopia.Life does go on, and here we are near the bottom of one of the worst economic cycles this great nation has ever experienced - and we still are not clear if the real estate market in the Hemet - San Jacinto Valley, CA will take another dip as a shadow inventory or bank owned foreclosure homes are released for sale.I guess the short answer is no one really knows what the future holds - my own crystal ball is in the shop, waiting for parts to be shipped on a slow boat from China.What can be said about th...

I hear this a lot.  As a matter of fact, earlier today I posted a blog using video clips from the musical, "The Music Man" to show some very important sales skills.  In case you missed it, you can check it out here - How is "The Music Man" Like Real Estate Sales?  Personally, I thought it was a pretty good post and a lot of fun - especially if you like old musicals.One of the comments was short and simple - it said, "It's really all about building relationships."I HAD TO THINK - RELATIONSHIPS?We all over use terms and follow trends - more often than not, without even being cognizant about it.Relationships. in my opinion, are all about sharing the good and the bad.  See, I consider a relationship to be a two way street - give and take.  My wife and I have a very strong relationship - we ...

When a local Hemet - San Jacinto CA REALTOR meets with a local homeowner to discuss selling the home as a short sale, the topic of conversation turns to the documentation that the seller will have to produce to establish the fact that they can no longer afford to keep the home.  I often tell the homeowner it is as if they are un-qualifying for a home loan. Each lender has their own formats of how they want the package submitted for their review and ultimate approval. Yes, you will find similarities between various lenders - but you must understand and respect they are individual entities and want things done their way - if you want them to cooperate with you. It is critical that your package be complete. You will find that time is not your ally and if they have to come back to you for a...

Anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that I am an advocate of local shopping; in particular when it comes to Real Estate. I never could understand the logic of a local resident going to an agent 50 miles away (or further) and having them list their home for sale...just because they may know them or be related. The key has always been that local area experts do a better job of marketing a home for sale and end up with a higher price. Well my advocacy extends beyond Real Estate and into the local community retailers, as well. Here in the Hemet - San Jacinto Valley, CA we have not one but two Super-WalMarts, that I have blogged about and questioned their 'job creation' and how most things there today, appear to be made in China. SO WHAT IS THE 3/50 PROJECT? I found a site on the web ...
