It has been very interesting having to wear a mask when meeting new clients.  With the mask, only the eyes were visible of the person, it was hard to see one's full reaction to a home when viewing.  Now that we are not having to wear them the first reaction my client had when he saw my whole face was, "you have lip stick on".  Yes, I replied, then I responded with what do you think of the homes we just viewed.  I had realized seeing the whole person is as important as seeing the whole home from top to bottom.The mask was viable for everyone's safety, as is getting a home fully inspected.  03/23/2022

If you’re buying or selling a home, it’s important to understand what a home inspection entails and how it affects the sale or purchase of a house.   What Is a Home Inspection? A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the structure and systems of a home by a neutral third party. Basically, it shows you what’s wrong with the property and if it is serious enough to prevent a sale. (Note: An inspection does not concern code violations and therefore does not guarantee that the home is free of them.) The three main points of the inspection are to evaluate the physical condition of the home, identify items in need of repair or replacement, and estimate the remaining useful life of the major systems, equipment, structure and finishes. An inspector cannot report on defects that ... 03/19/2022

Hello everyone,I'm new to the Real Estate pre licensing course. I've been asked in my training to write a blog on a topic of my choice. I've chosen to write about a personal experience that I've seen in this crazy market that I didn't know wasn't acceptable but is very common now. This subject is about love letters being sent to sellers. I've heard stories of people writing these love letter attempting to pull at the heart strings of the sellers in the attempt to secure the home. I've also heard of people attaching photos to these letters. This clearly is "breaking rules" as it's against the rules to discriminate based off sex, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Clearly if pictures and letters are being sent the majority of these are going to be broken.... 03/15/2022

Hi!We are Cassie and Guy and we became empty nesters a few years ago.  I have been in real estate for just over 20 years and Guy has had several businesses.  The last being a couple of UPS Stores here in the Coachella Valley. Guy sold those last year and we decided to start investing in tax deeds and use my knowledge in real estate to start flipping.  We buy houses cash, AS-IS, no repairs required, no cleaning, no commission, no hidden fees, any reason, any situation. 03/12/2022

As a mortgage loan officer moving into the real estate realm, I have had more than enough unfortunate dealings with unethical individuals. This has opened my eyes to how our actions as agents in our customers' lives can impact them and they to us. In one such instance, a client was in the process of purchasing their first home. We got under contract and 2 weeks before the closing date, the agent switched brokerages. The agent did not notify any parties involved and the transaction was not picked up by another agent in the brokerage, so the contract was forfeit. They lost their contract and the $4000 in earnest money to boot. It was a super unfortunate situation for all of us involved.Do the right thing and communicate with your clients. It isn't just to make the transaction move smoothe... 03/11/2022

The real estate market is on fire for sellers and has been for the past couple of years, so why do you need professional listing photos? Why not just "snap" a few with your cell phone? If it doesn't matter...the home will sell in a matter of days and, in some cases, a matter of hours. Your listing photos will be seen online, in some cases for years after the home sells, and will be attached to your name. Your listing photos are a part of your brand and what other potential sellers will see when they search for you online. Your sellers have spent days and sometimes weeks getting their homes just right for the market, only to have their homes show up online with dark cell phone photos. I know you are probably thinking, but you are a real estate photographer. Of course, you will push profe... 03/04/2022

I am working to obtain my real estate license. As I have gone through this process I have found it interesting that there are 21 ways a licensee can be revoked. There are many that are intertwined and related to one another.In this blog post I want to focus on bad record keeping. We live in a day and age where hard copies of documents are less and less prevalent. Docusign and other digital tools allow for quick signatures and are more environmentally friendly. Since real estate transactions are large in nature, it is critical that documents are keep, a good recording tracking everything is up to date and everything can be easily accessible.When everything is clearly documented and put into place, no one can question what actions have been completed and performed. It also helps the sales... 03/03/2022
