Under two months left in 2011, typically a good time to meet with your tax and investment advisors to discuss what your financial situation will look like at year-end.  These meetings often result in short term projects to lower your taxes or otherwise improve your bottom line.  If one of your projects is to buy or sell real estate by the end of the year – now is the time to start. Here are a few reasons to get started now – ·         Loan processing times are still longer than in years past, making 45 to 60 day escrows more common than the old standard of 30 days ·         Escrow companies and companies that administrate tax-free exchanges (“accommodators”) are often flooded with year-end deals, increasing processing times ·         If you’re a seller, the late summer selling season is... 11/11/2011

  Buying a house in Fairfield California , how do you get started? Not too long ago, a few other real estate professionals and I got together and put on a seminar. We called it “How to buy a house without going insane. “ It was a very informative event and everyone who attended learned a lot. The only problem was that not very many people attended. It occurred to me that I know a lot more about how to help people buy and sell their homes than I know about how to attract people  to a seminar. So I thought I would video tape myself and make a little seminar on the internet that would be simple and easy to understand. I broke it into 13 steps. The first one is to get qualified. I get calls on my listings every day and I start out with two questions:  “Are you working with a Realtor?” And “... 11/11/2011
