Or you got back to office found that the photos you snapped while in front of the home just didn't come out as well as you like? Here's a simple solution to repairing bad digital photos... BEFORE photo: Notice the obvious slant compared to the border; too much background and too much foreground; partial view of neighboring house.   Open a search window and right click on the photo you need to fix.  Click on Windows Live Photo Gallery or click here to download fron Microsoft.  Select the photo you want to repair then click on "File" then "Make a copy" and rename your file. Then click on  "Fix" from top menu. In the r...

Rancho Santa Margarita Real Estate, Live Well and Work Near Home Rancho Santa Margarita was one of the first "mixed use" communities in Southern Orange County. This bedroom community was designed to allow businesses to co-exist with the residential neighborhoods which will supply the labor force. The planning was carefully done to allow for a variety of industry as well as shopping and support businesses to really make Rancho Santa Margarita a self-sustaining community. One of the things that was unusual about Rancho Santa Margarita when first developed was the great variety of living options.  Unlike Mission Viejo which is comprised of mostly single family homes, Rancho Santa Margarita embraced the growing appeal of townhouses and condos. This concept was so much encouraged that it's o...

It's been 10,000 miles since my last oil change on the xB which is 5,000 miles overdue. I've been putting it off every day despite the flashing warning light that says "service required". To make my guilt level even higher, I've been showing properties to two of the mechanics that work at the local auto service shop just down the street from my office. In their best fatherly voices, both have suggested I "bring 'er in for service." So, today is the day. I drove over to RSM Automotive and sheepishly handed over the key to Robert to get the oil changed hoping he wouldn't say anything about my tardiness. He didn't. He just offered me a ride back to my office where I knew I would be helplessly stranded with my car for what I feared would be many painful hours. What if I get a call to show a...

Measure to help bring stability to home values and accelerate sale of vacant propertiesWASHINGTON - In an effort to stabilize home values and improve conditions in communities where foreclosure activity is high, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan today announced a temporary policy that will expand access to FHA mortgage insurance and allow for the quick resale of foreclosed properties. The announcement is part of the Obama administration commitment to addressing foreclosure. Just yesterday, Secretary Donovan announced $2 billion in Neighborhood Stabilization Program grants to local communities and nonprofit housing developers to combat the effects of vacant and abandoned homes."As a result of the tightened credit market, FHA-insured mortgage financing is often the only means of financing avail...

Did you know we have a successful football team here locally, the Santa Margarita Pop Warner Midget Mustangs.  The Santa Margarita Pop Warner Midget Mustangs football team posted a 13-1 record which qualified them for the National Championships in Orlando, FL. The Santa Margarita Pop Warner Midget Mustangs captured the Orange Empire Conference title with a 26 to 16 win over Tustin in the Orange Bowl.  They proceeded to the Western Regional Championships at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, defeating the Fontana Bucks by a score of 30 to 12.  This win advanced them to the National Championships, where they lost the opener 6 to 0 to the New Haven, Comm. Steelers.  They finished the season with a 22 to 19 win over the Bedford, OH Saints. A well deserved congratulations to our wonderful...

I was walking through the central part of town today just gathering some photos in the civic center area.  My policy for taking photos is to shoot a bunch and then sort through to find the best ones.  This was kind of a last minute shot of the promenade between the Rancho Santa Margarita City hall, on the left side, and the Community center on the right. I kind of like the "artsy" feel...I was just using my Kodak EasyShare set to 5 mega pixels so that the pictures don't take up so much space. Comments anyone?

I received a call the other day from the owner of a Las Flores home.  "How did I get myself into this mess?", she said, referring to the short sale deal that was being negotiated on her home.  When I questioned who was negotiating the deal, she shared that her agent was working with a third party that was responsible for getting answers from the bank.  "But there are no answers coming back.", she shouted.  Short sales in this new market can be extremely frustrating.  Some methods are proven to get better results than others.  We have found what works and are happy to share it with you. Be sure to interview your agent carefully prior to signing any listing agreement.
