Sold by Barr, Best by Far

       Oh no, we received an offer, now what? I can remember not too, too long along when I received my first offer on my first listing. Oh no, we received an offer, now what?        Call the bank and inform them that you are trying to sell your client's house and that the market value is less t...

Lets face it we live in the information predicted along time ago. As soon as someone figures something out its "posted" on the world wide web and if we are not careful we might just learn something new. So some new information that I learned yesterday was that short sales will be eliminated as a ...

As the song goes "seasons change and so did I you need not wonder why". I've been doing some soul searching and making mental lists of all the new things that are part of my way of doing business. Blogging has been the most rewarding so far. Not only do I have a blog to send people to but I sit o...

There are only two properties on the market in this particular area of Murrieta. Neither were there at the time of my sell. My advi...

The numbers don't lie sales are up for two months in a row compared to last year in my area. So my question is where do we go from here?

This process is helped by the fact that banks are receiving multiple offers but it is still a struggle...

 No this is not me surfing but maybe one day you never know. I was just thinking about all the things that there are to do in Southern California. Surfing is just one of the many ways one can enjoy themselves here. There are also the mountain ranges that surround our In Land Empire as it is calle...
