Putting Zillow To The Test - OK, peeps. I finally wrote an offer for a Zillow lead/client.... For those of you who have joined and/or been following my Zillow consumer advocate group in which I've been blogging about my paid adventure as a Zillow featured agent since August, you'll see that I've had about 15 leads or so without much success. For those of you interested in joining the group or want to see past blog posts, click here: Putting Zillow to The Test Well, I finally wrote an offer for some clients that I met from one of those leads. It's a short sale, but nonetheless we'll see what happens.  I have been very selective not to show them short sales because of their situation, but I did show them this one because the listing agent stated that she already had an approval on the pu...

Clogged drains are bound to happen sooner or later. Even though you may need to call the plumbers to repair your clogged sink, there are some techniques that you may be able to fix yourself without causing any additional problems. Kitchen sinks tend to get clogged with food that is put down the drain on the side that has no garbage disposal. Bathroom sinks get clogged with hair most often. You must never use any of the drain cleaners that are sold in stores because they are corrosive to your pipes and may be harmful to your skin and overall health. You will want to repair the clogged drain now, so you will know whether or not to call the plumber. Using a plunger may be your first attempt at unclogging the drain. Make sure to remove the stopper or strainer first, and then place the plung...

Real Estate Market Report East San Fernando Valley, CA                              February, 2010 North Hollywood, Sun Valley, Valley Village, Valley Glen, and Van Nuys.   At A Glance The Market Activity Index declined, due to an increase in Listing Inventory. This may make this the best time for buyers to submit some conservative offers.  Prices seem to be showing a reluctance to go lower, so this is the perfect storm for buyers - low interest rates, low prices, and the $8,000 Federal Income tax credit requires you to enter escrow by April 30th and close by June 30th, making short sales risky.    Market Activity Index - 0.51 down 10 points. Last month the Index was 0.61.   Last year it was at 0.35.   New Listings - 141 new homes came on the market (32 were REOs, 53 were short sales), ...

Are you looking for an Armenian speaking real estate agent in Los Angeles, CA.  It's important to note that even if you speak English and Armenian fluently, some of your family members might have trouble understanding the process of buying or selling a home if the lines of communication is not in line with the message from the real estate agent. I speak Armenian.  I can also read and write in Armenian too even though I'm half American.  My last name is not a typical Armenian last name so it throws off potential buyers and sellers when I tell them I speak Armenian. From my past experience, I can tell my clients are more comfortable working with someone who understands the language and culture.  It brings and instant trust factor knowing that the real estate agent holds many of the same ...

Buying An REO? Better look closely! The REO market is hot these days, and bargains abound. Investors with cash to spend are snapping up bargains priced properties for "flipping" and first-time buyers are being given the opportunity to actually purchase an affordable home within their price range.  This is a wonderful thing and, at this point, seems to be the bulk of the transactions occurring in this high inventory market. At least that's what I'm seeing in my home inspection business. While there are bargains to be found, some caution is advised.  After doing hundreds of these type of inspections on REO's, a pattern is evident.  That pattern is, these homes are often "trashed" and have many hidden defects, and even sabotage, that may not be evident in a 10 or 15 minute walk through.  ...

North Hollywood is an extremely eclectic city and neighborhood on many different levels. There are some areas of North Hollywood that some people consider a little sketchy, yet at the same time there are some areas in "NoHo" that have an amazing ring of home and artistic flavor to it. I guess the consensus is the further south you go, the more attractive the areas.  That is probably true to some extent, but there are certain pockets that are quite charming. There is an area called "Laurel Grove", which is basically south of Victory blvd., east of Laurel Canyon, west of Lankershim blvd., and north of Oxnard Ave.  The term "Laurel Grove" is derived from the nearby elementary school - Laurel Elementary. The best kept secret in the area has an even bigger secret:  during the next 5 to 6 yea...
