  Do I Need to Disclose…………..Everything?   This is one of the common questions I get from my sellers and also callers who are thinking about selling. As Realtors, we have numerous disclosure forms that the sellers must fill out completely and then they are given to the buyers to read and sign as well.   There are more disclosure forms to be signed than the sales contract. This is the place that sellers need to be completely honest and fill out the forms to the best of their ability. It can be confusing and you are unsure what to put down on the form? That is understandable.   It is alright that you have had repairs done as all homes need repairs. This is why the home improvement stores are full of homeowners and contractors every day buying parts to take care of repairs. It is great tha...

 Thinking about Selling You Home….De-Clutter First   So you are thinking about putting your home on the market and you have taken care of all the minor repairs and just about ready to call a Realtor. But you need to do one more thing; De-Clutter inside and out.   The size of your house is not going to change but there are things you can do to make it look larger and more enticing to prospective buyers.   Here is a bedroom with lots of knick-knacks sitting around and the color is pretty bright.       Now here the room has just a few items sitting around now, the picture was changed, and the colors are toned down. The room looks bigger.   Here is a messy closet; yes most of our closets look like this but to sell your home, pack or give away things you are not using. I read somewhere that ...

  Help…..I Have Gophers!   Usually I am blogging cute little critters but this time I am asking for help. I have called gopher control businesses and have read numerous articles regarding extermination humanely and environmentally friendly but what we have tried has not helped and the problem is getting worse.     I bought traps but the dirt just gets impacted in there. I tried sticking the hose in the holes but that didn’t stop them either. The cat keeps an eye out but doesn’t seem interested in digging for it. I have read about pinwheels, Pine-Sol, Poisonous Bait and flares but have not tried these remedies.   Does anyone have a sure fire way to get rid of them as they are digging up my daisies and putting holes in my front lawn? HELP!!!   These photographs taken in the Inland Empire ...

  Did You Ever Have a Seller that was hard to Say Good-Bye to?   I recently sold a house and the seller has moved out of state to be with her family.   It was a perfect transaction; house sold within 7 days and we got better than asking price. We closed on the 30th day. This was almost a perfect textbook transaction. Everyone was happy when it closed; agents, seller and buyer. What could be better?   But….I miss my seller. She was one of the loveliest clients I have ever had. Right from day 1, she asked me what she needed to do to sell her home fast. She followed all my suggestions I gave her about packing stuff away, purging unneeded items, and making the home look less cluttered and even more beautiful. We worked together so smoothly and we had mutual trust and respect for each other....

  Beatles Song Made home on “Blue Jay Way” Famous.....See the History   Go to  Zillow and read all about this house on Blue Jay Way made famous by George Harrison of the Beatles. Apparently in 1967, George had rented out the house for a weekend and was waiting for others to arrive when he wrote this song. He later published the song “There’s a fog upon LA” in the Beatles album Magical Mystery Tour.  It is an interesting song sung solely by George Harrison.   This event made the house famous on 1567 Blue Jay Way, Los Angeles, CA.   The home is back on the market for a whopping $4,599,000.00 which reflects a recent renovation and of course it’s role in the musical history. The home has a prime location near the Sunset Strip, Century City, and Beverly Hills.

  Native Birds at the Olvera Street District in Los Angeles.   Last week I attended the Blessing of the Animal at Olvera Street & El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument in Los Angeles near Union Station. While there, I took a few pictures of the native birds in that area of the city.    It is quite picturesque there so if you find yourself in that area, stop by and walk around or grab a bite to eat.   A pretty fountain at the end of the merchant’s area. Look at the pigeon hiding in lower left corner.   This pigeon was absolutely huge! He was just sitting on the roof looking down at everyone passing by. This was at the entrance coming from the train station. I love the brick arch. This is the oldest area of Los Angeles. This bird was sitting in the tree making lots of noise; a real...

  ♪♪♪  Up In the Treetops…a Big Surprise  ♪♪♪   Today it was cool and cloudy so I knew the big birds would be out hunting. I went to the rural area where I sometimes see owls and hawks.  First, I see a big owl and to my surprise it is not hidden within the branches as usual. After a few pictures, he flew off but I did manage to get a picture of him leaving. He swept down into the orange groves and about 30 seconds later, I hear “who-who-who” so I guess he found some food and was happy.   Then I drove a little further, and to my surprise, there was a huge hawk just sitting there. What a great day!   These photographs were taken in Loma Linda, CA. by Kristin Hamilton and are copyrighted ©.   If you are looking for a professional agent, I am just a click away.

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head  Here on the West Coast, we have been experiencing rain storms in the past few weeks. Unfortunately our water levels are still only half way so I hope we continue to get more or we will have a drought this summer. Here are some pictures of our latest rain. Rain does not keep up from conducting business so here I am driving to Rancho Cucamonga to show property on Sunday afternoon. I got this picture near the Ontario Airport at the Ontario Auto Center. It still amazes me how such a big plane can get off the ground. This big DC-10 FED EX plane was coming in through the storm with their lights on but couldn't get pulled over in time but here it is passing by. The clouds behind the plane were so fluffy and dark. Driving home was extremely intense after showi...

What’s My Inland Empire CA Home Worth? – Find the Value of Your Inland Empire CA House In this current real estate market, understanding the current value of your Inland Empire home can be a confusing task. Even so-called experts, banks and real estate agents have a tough time determining the market value of Inland Empire California houses. There are websites like Zillow and Yahoo Real Estate that enable you to input your address and get a formula-derived price of your Inland Empire home, but these tools are unreliable because the data feeds that enable this can sometimes be inaccurate. These tools also do not take into account the varying differences in homes, like condition, upgrades and other amenities. So what is the best way to determine the price of your Inland Empire CA home?

“THE END OF THE DAY”   While driving home last night in San Bernardino County, as I looked to the west  as far as I could see, the sun was just about to set. The beautiful colors of the red fireball was almost down. The light from the cities were so beautiful so I wanted to share this photo. It was so magnificent in person but of course hard to photograph as such a distance. While looking upon this site I thought today is almost over and tomorrow will be even more beautiful and filled with excitement and new beginnings. I love real estate and everyday can be challenging but so exciting. I hope you all feel this way?  Call Kristin Hamilton at 909-557-6966 to list your home.

There’s Gold in the Mountains Did I get your attention? There is probably gold in the San Bernardino Mountains of California but I guarantee there is SNOW this weekend and it is not man-made.   Here are several pictures of Big Bear, California. Great place to site-see, spend a weekend in a cozy cabin or hotel, go skiing or snowboarding, or just go up for the day to do a little shopping and have lunch.   Don’t forget your chains!
