Are you looking for a Santa Cruz home for sale with an ocean view? I totally understand the appeal of having a home near the ocean.  The ocean holds a certain attraction to many people, and if you are like me, you’ll strongly feel it. The sound and sight of the crashing waves is soothing to the ears, and just gazing at the sea can give a calm and peaceful feeling. Of course, living near the ocean means never missing a day at the beach or in the water. Every day is an opportunity to enjoy, relax and have fun. You can go swimming, surfing, strolling or just simply take in the view. Not to mention how picturesque the view is during sunrise and sunset. These wonderful sights and emotions invoked by the ocean are sufficient reasons to buy a home with an ocean view.

I can sell your Santa Cruz home too! What are you waiting for? How fast should a house sell once it is put on the market? Within a week? Three weeks? A couple of months? Longer? I sold this house in just 5 days! Yes, you read that right… in just 5 days! :)This inviting two bedroom house conveniently located in the Seacliff neighborhood of Aptos CA got sold before I could even finish one weekend of open houses. It was listed originally at $799,000 and was the lowest priced beach home in the area. When it comes to selling, a home that is priced right from the beginning will not sit on the market.  So how did it happen? It was a whirlwind romance for the buyer who was looking for the perfect beach house.  Who wouldn’t fall for this single family home which boasts of beautifully updated kit...

How to close my renovation loan fast...I used to get asked this allot and not so much any more. Why is that? Lenders are always saying 45-60 days to close a renovation loan then many are taking 60-120. This is unacceptable by anyone in the business.Lets look at a couple of those that say 45-60 and longer.1) The order comes in and the uninformed lender starts gathering the information they need to get the loan in process.2) Remember they already prequaled the borrower before the offer was submitted.3) Now they push for their part of the loan process, gathering the necessary info to close the loan...4) Get a contractor bid or two, possibly.5) Once they have their stuff all together they call the consultant...6) Now for the next five to ten days the consultant is harassed quite often pushi...
