A Realtor works for Free right up to the time there is a successful closing of the sale of the home.  Time, knowledge, training, laws, property and community information as well as calls, text, emails are all exchanged with their clients for free. Many professional Realtors feel that the best solution is a Buyers Broker Agreement that requires a client to work with them for the length of the binding agreement.  There is a reason that I have never used this agreement in my thirty-five-year career.  The reason is that I put myself in the client's shoes.  Let's say I moving to New York City form Los Angeles, California.  I have no clue as to the best neighborhoods, schools, safety, future investment and I find a Realtor to represent me on a purchase.  Let's say that I do sign a Buyer Broke...

​​ Friends, Family & Clients,We haven't faced a real estate market like the current on in the Spring & Summer of 2021 since 2004, 2005 & 2006.  In 2004 price raised by 24 %, 2005 22 % and 2006 18 %.  Following these increases prices plummeted by 45-50 %.  The lending conditions are much different at this time as most homeowners are well qualified and have a large amount of equity in their homes.  The "Liar Loan" have virtually disappeared and lenders have been much more diligent about qualifying their customers.  People also have a much higher down payment in most circumstances.  This being said, prices can still crash overnight once homeowners flood the market and there becomes more homes for sale than buyers willing to pay the price for them.  Another factor is the Eviction Moratorium...

​​Happy Labor Day, What a sad year for all of us. We have been forced to live life as if we were a third world nation. Masks, home-bound, no indoor eating at restaurants, small businesses going bankrupt, many businesses hanging on by a thread, hospitalizations and loss of life is hurting our American Spirit. The Stock Market and Real Estate Market remain strong.Labor Day Weekend, just like Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day & Easter will not be as enjoyable of events as we usually enjoy. We, as Americans, will keep our eyes on the future knowing that better days are ahead of us. Labor Day Weekend allows Buyers that are usually working an opportunity to see homes. Would you like to meet with us to discuss getting your home onto the market before the end of Summer? Traditionally the...

Friends, Family & Clients,​​Home Inventory in California is at the lowest level since April of 2013. Demand for homes in at the highest since June of 2012. Current Inventory is 69% below one year ago. Mortgage Applications are up 27% over last year at this time. Interest Rates are driving up demand as the rates are below 3% for most buyers.This is a great time to list your home as the peak selling season which is traditionally in the springtime has been delayed until the present time due to the pandemic. Demand may wane as children return to school and we approach the holiday season. The days on market is currently only 35 days in Los Angeles County. It was 79 days one year ago.There doesn’t appear to be a realistic fear of foreclosures or short sales anytime soon. Statistics show that ...

Dear Family, Friends & Clients,​​ We are now in a recession and the hope is for a V-Shaped Recovery.  This means that the economy goes down sharply and bounces back just as sharply.  This is not a time to act out of fear but it is also a time to protect ourselves should things end up worse than hoped for or expected.  Home ownership is highly desirable.  There is no need to panic unless you are not able to make payments over the next six to eight months should you lose income or ability to pay your mortgage.  This might be a time to consider selling an investment property or even your primary residence should there be any financial difficulty possible in the near future. Check with your lender, attorney or CPA regarding a three month mortgage moratorium for government loans such as FHA,...

America, "Land of the Free & Home of the Brave" The sacrifices made by Revolutionary Freedom Fighters, Civil War Heroes, The Greatest Generation, Vietnam Vets & Soldiers ever since is beyond comprehension.  Giving up youth, future and an opportunity to grow old to preserve Freedom for the future Americans is something that can never be fully appreciated.  Freedom is not guaranteed.  The world can easily go back to the days of Kings, Dictators, Emperors & Czars.  Terrorism is a major threat but even more dangerous is complacency.  Believing that Freedom is to be expected rather than something that needs to be affirmed daily can cause it to be lost.  That is why we have Fireworks every 4th of July.  We need to celebrate the sacrifices and show our appreciation.  We celebrate to honor thos...

Many of us have our own version of the American Dream.  To some it's financial, to others it's career and still others it's simply success.  To me Homeowner-ship is the true American Dream.I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan at a time when this city was the envy of the world.  There was no luckier person in the world than me and being raise in a family in which home-ownership was our only option it was assured that I would be a homeowner as soon as financially feasible.  I tried buying my first home shortly after getting out of the Army but that one fell through.  Shortly after getting married I was able to complete this lifelong dream.  Home-ownership full-fills me as inviting people to break bread in a home that is my own feels incredible.  I wouldn't care if my home was a tent...

There are many among us still suffering from the affects of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.  We honor those that gave their lives, limbs, mental health and are still enduring the remnants of the war today.I was fortunate to be a relatively new Realtor in Santa Clarita, California in 1996 and had the good fortune to meet a couple selling their home.  The gentleman was walking through the home with an oxygen tank and apologized for his appearance.  He went on to explain that he was in the Vietnam War and had damaged his lungs from Agent Orange.  I listened intently and compassionately.  His wife was in the background listening and observing.  I explained that the war was no stranger to me as I also was in the Army during this horrendous war.About four months after our meeting there w...
