Why Does My Competitor Always Attack Me In Print? March 29, 2010 I have a competitor that seems very frightened of how much business I have captured in the Costa Mesa real estate market.  Unlike the other company who mentions me by name in all their ads, I will not! As for this year, in this new market my competitor is off to a slow start with 3 listings closed here in Costa Mesa and 1 buyer has purchased a home in Costa Mesa via their company. Our firm has closed 9 homes for sellers so far this year in town and we have brought in 3 new home buyers to Costa Mesa. Let me know your thoughts.  Should I go on the counter strike in print and attack or should I remain above the attack attitude of their ads?  Nothing like going political in the real estate marketing department!  Ask about our...

  PHOTOGRAPHY 101 IN COSTA MESA REAL ESTATE They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in real estate, a picture could be worth a thousand dollars (or more).  Most agents aren’t photography professionals, but there is an understanding that better photos get listings more attention, and ultimately, a higher selling price. The absolutely best photos are taken not with "point and click" cameras, but with SLR (single-lens-reflex) cameras.  Without getting too technical, just know that SLR cameras give the photographer more control and produce higher quality images.  While an SLR camera costs more than your average point-and-click shooter, consider that a recent study found that listings with high quality photos sold for anywhere between $934 and $116,076 more than their average listi...

Costa Mesa Real Estate News - Costa Mesa Market Report Originally no more than a way station built by Spanish missionaries, Costa Mesa's first real estate development occurred in the 1880s. This failed to prosper, but Costa Mesa has thrived.     Long time residents may remember when the area was called Fairview and Paularino, but today, the city is a focal point in Orange County with the Orange County Performing Arts Center, South Coast Repertory Theatre and South Coast Plaza as major drawing points. It is hard to believe that Costa Mesa was once nicknamed "Goat Hill" because of its rural flavor.     The modern day Costa Mesa real estate market began as beach bungalows just minutes from the ocean. Even then, Costa Mesa, bordering Newport Beach, captured the best of Newport Beach living ...
