Join our mailing list!

Fall is definitely here; the days are shorter, there is a crispness in the air, sweet treats fill store display isles. In light of recent heavy events, I hope to help lighten the load by offering a special contest. Scroll to the bottom of the page and let's have some October fun!

Part of my committment to you is to constantly improve my business practices and level of service for complete customer satisfaction. Your suggestions, ideas, and feedback are always appreciated. I am here to serve you above and beyond real estate. And Oh, by the way . . . I'm never too busy for any of your real estate referrals!


Referral Directory is Complete

As a result of being so active in the real estate market (and in the Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce), I have come across some great service providers and business owners. Great meaning the type of people who will:

  • serve you in a professional manner (and with a smile)
  • timely return phone calls
  • take good care of your needs
If I have your mailing address, you will receive your Referral Directory within the next few weeks, either by mail or by a personal visit. I am always looking for new service providers to add so feel free to contact me with people you know who may be a good fit for future editions of the directory.


10-Day Closing on a Home or Investment Property

Did you know you can close escrow on a property in as little as 10 Days? Of course, this should not be attempted without an organized and proactive real estate professional to oversee the transaction. I have helped numerous clients (sellers and buyers) with 10-day closings. Here are some key tips on what you need to ensuring an on-time and smooth closing:

  • A team of reliable professionals working on the escrow (lender, property inspectors, escrow, etc.) who will do their job and do it well
  • An agent who has property inspections scheduled prior to acceptance (buying side)
  • An agent to review all buyer offers with you and create counter offers to move up the contingency time frames (selling side)
  • An agent who will call each and every party involved to check status and keep things on schedule (or send out a Buyer/Seller Notice to Perform) (buying and selling side)
There are many more tips to closing an escrow in 10 Days. If you or someone you know would like more information, please contact me for details.


Fall and Winter are Good Times to Sell a Home

Feel like you missed the boat on selling your home this year and you may as well hold off until spring? Typically, the holiday season brings me my busiest months in the business. Many home buyers would like to close prior to year's end to gain write-off cost in the current calendar year. And the good news for sellers right now: I know there are buyers with pre-approval letters and cash to close on a home once they find the right one before! And it could be yours.

So if you or a family or neighbor are thinking of waiting to sell until next spring when it's considered to be the best time to sell, you may want to think again.

Hire a professional that will help procure the most amount of offers in the least amount of time, and net you the most in your pocket. Contact me for details.


Got Questions?
Question Mark

I've got answers for those questions you always wanted to know about real estate, but didn't want to ask! I'd like to clear up misconceptions, or help you understand more about the industry.

(Like when I was a middle school teacher, the students were shocked to learn that the teachers didn't live in their classrooms! Well, what did they expect; how could we afford to live anywhere else?! Just teasing, and all due respect to teachers serving in classrooms!)
