Join the Laughter Yoga Club this Saturday in Oceanside CA Laughter is good for you. We all know that "laughter is the best medicine," and everyone seems to enjoy a good laugh. But so often with our busy lives, stress, fatigue and other reasons laughter avoids us. It's hard to find something to laugh about. And laughing without a reason? Perhaps not so easy to do.  Laughter Yoga Clubs were started in India back in 1995 and have become quite popular - there are now over 6000 Laughter Clubs in 60 countries.

I represented Chuck Smith on the purchase of a condo at North Coast Village in Oceanside, CA. The condo Chuck bought was listed as a short sale, and we went through a seven-month process of waiting and strategizing before the transaction finally went through for Chuck. Chuck recently sent me this testimonial letter. Thanks, Chuck, for the great letter! Our goal at Globella Buyers Realty is to provide such great customer service that each client becomes as big a fan as Chuck is.

I can see that a lot of folks are mis-informed about topics like: short sales, flips, investors, profits, fair market value, distressed value, and the myth of "highest & best".  To be completely honest, before one year ago, I did not understand those topics either.  This was not a market I was used to dealing with, and certainly not at this level.  But in the past year, I've learned: 1. If you are a listing agent, and you receive a purchase offer for a specific listing that is active, you have a fiduciary duty to present it to your sellers, whether you like the offer or not.  It is their job to take the contract to their attorney to vet it.  You cannot simply reject the offer because you don't think it's right, but if unsure, take it to your real estate attorney for verification.  You c...

I received this email from JD Clayton of Progressive Loan Solutions in San Diego, California. JD was hired by the listing agent on a short sale listing (that I represented the buyer on). JD's job was to be the intermediary who communicated with the banks in the short sale transaction. This particular transaction took longer than seven months to complete, and JD was there working on it the entire time. I had quite a few conversations with her throughout those seven months. Here's the email I received from her just before Christmas: Justin.I wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for all you did to facilitate the closing of (seller's) Oceanside property. I need to add that you are in the top 1% of realtors that I have dealt with during my tenure in this business, which spans over 3 de...

Are you considering selling your home in Oceanside, California? Do you owe more to your mortgage company than your home is worth? If that is the case, then you may need to list your property in a transaction called a short sale.  A short sale is a transaction where the property is sold for less than the amount of the debt, and the lender agrees to this sale. It is a transaction that requires patience and a bit of paperwork, but short sales are very successful in our current real estate market. Whether you live in Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista, or Carlsbad or anywhere else in San Diego County and beyond and you want to sell your home, you will need to be informed about the real estate market in your area in order to determine whether you will need to sell your home in a short sale.

The Oceanside Terraces auction took place last summer, but we still receive calls weekly wondering about the disposition of these luxury urban condos. The story unfolds: It took some doing, but we were finally allowed into the auction room where high bidders would be able to purchase the remaining 29 residences at the Oceanside Terraces. We wanted to be able to report on the results (as we are doing now), but someone with Accelerated Marketing Partners tried to block our entry. An executive with the firm eventually intervened, and we were allowed into the room where approximately 100 registered bidders were seated. The auction was orderly, and Eve Sieminski, Mike, Scott and I were able to see most of the bidding activity from where we sat at the back of the room. And in a little over a...

Oceanside California mortgage rates are posted below.  Although this information is for Oceanside these rates are for the entire state of California. If you're in the Oceanside area and considering a refinance or a purchase you'll likely be looking at mortgage interest rates.  Shopping for the best mortgage rate can be difficult if you don't know what to look for.  The mortgage rates offered are only one part of the equation.  The fees associated with those mortgage rates are equally important.  To make it more confusing (not trying to) the date the mortgage rates were posted and the current market rate is also important. You see, mortgage rates change daily.  They are determined by the sale and purchase of mortgage backed securities (MBS).  Your mortgage is sold on the bond market in t...
