There are some transactions that mean more than others. It is so wonderful when you have  sellers and their agents who appreciate Veterans and Wounded Veterans who served our country and got injured in the process of protecting our freedom.Since I live and work in a high priced market virtually most places are out of reach for Veterans due to the entry level price point. Now it is even harder, because the VA standards are much higher for an appraisal than a normal appraisal. So with that said, we have submitted so many offers and we would miss out because the "good ones" would be outbid so much higher and without contingencies or minimal contingencies that we did not have a chance.As a Veteran and a Realtor I understand this, never the less it bothers me. So when my client came to me I ... 06/18/2017

This post in going to be different than my other posts. It's a story really more than a tutorial. I hope my Active Rain followers find something valuable in the story.  For 9 years I worked as a sales manager for some of LA"s top web development companies. I ran sales teams that sold web development and online marketing services. You would think that in all that time I had developed some highly technical skills as it relates to web development.  You would be wrong. I understood how much TIME projects should take. I know enough of the language and tools used by developers to understand when I am talking to someone who knows less than me. So in 2014 when I set out to build my own WordPress website I made a TON of mistakes. Here are SOME of the mistakes I made.   I used a VERY complicated ... 01/22/2017

West Coast Design and Photo Want to know the hottest time of the year to buy a home?Spring, you say? That’s obvious, right? It’s when inventory starts to increase, with families looking to sell so they can get their kids all settled before the new school year starts.No, it’s got to be summer, when homes on the market hit their peak and anyone who hasn’t already made their move is typically looking to.Actually, this year, it’s all about the next three months, according to realtor.com.“Low mortgage rates, declining home prices, and homes that are lingering on the market longer are three main reasons why the next three months could be the best time to buy so far this year,” said Jonathan Smoke, realtor.com®’s chief economist.Smoke went on to say that buyers who were unable to make a move ... 11/09/2015

Pachd Are you being priced out of the Valley? If you’ve been looking for a home in the area, you know that prices haven’t exactly been hospitable lately. In fact, “The median price of a previously owned home in the San Fernando Valley hit $600,000 in July, its highest level in eight years, and sales reached their highest total in 27 months,” according to the Southland Regional Association of Realtors, said the Daily News.Granted, high prices driving buyers away here is hardly a new phenomenon. I’ve had plenty of clients and friends who ran off to Santa Clarita because they couldn’t afford to stay in the Valley and/or were seduced by new construction and great schools and double strollers and a swelling local employment base (I did it myself, and would do it again.). Not to mention all ... 08/31/2015

Search Toluca Lake, CA and San Fernando Valley Real Estate and Info   It's a fact that the majority of today's potential home buyers start their property search online. While there are a variety of search engines and utilities at our disposal, one of the most frustrating things for consumers when it comes to these tools is the sometimes lack of up-to-the-minute information. There is nothing worse for a prospective Toluca Lake home buyer or San Fernando Valley real estate investor is to learn that the listing they have in front of them and have taken a shine to is not, as they initially thought, available. We understand that there are a myriad of reasons why this could occur but it is disappointing nonetheless. For this specific reason, I have updated my website at www.TolucaLakeRealEsta... 05/17/2013
