Real Estate eNews & Updates

March 2009

Greetings!   
I hope this finds you doing well & enjoying the first days of Spring!
 
By now, you should have received a hard copy Business Directory of the businesses and service providers I recommend in the South Bay. If you have not received it, and would like a copy just let me know and I'll get one to you. You can also visit my Online Business Directory for updated information.
 
The real estate market is picking up, and I have many buyers who are taking advantage of the fantastic opportunity to buy. Rates are low, we've got the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit, and lots of inventory to choose from. If you know of someone who would like to begin the process of buying a home or investment property, I'm happy to assist them!
 
I'd also like to ask for your seller referrals, in case you know someone who needs to sell their home for top-dollar in this market. With so many buyers looking for great deals, sellers need to have things lined up and ready to go as much as possible. As an agent, I do everything possible to "bullet-proof" the transaction and eliminate as many bumps as possible.
 
I am always looking for ways to bring value to you, above and beyond real estate. If you know of someone else who would appreciate the kind of service I provide, please forward their information to me, and I'll be happy to take good care of them.

Housing Market Facts
The educator in me is always looking for ways to provide my valued client base with informative, relevant information.
 
Here is a link to the Housing Market Facts by the National Association of Realtors(R). These are interesting tid-bits that are useful to review from time to time!
 
I thought this clip was interesting: click here to see The Crisis of Credit Visualized, a 7-minute You Tube video that explains in detail what happened to create the credit crisis.

It is still possible to obtain financing, but you need a reliable expert on your side to help you. Please call me or visit my Online Business Directory for some great mortgage professional recommendations.

Inspiration!
Times like these we could all use a little extra inspiration. You've probably already seen this, but if you're like me you can never have too much inspiration in your life! It motivates me to want to do better and be better in all aspects of life. This video is a real pick-me-upper about 11-year-old Jashaun Agosto who has extraordinary drive and motivation.
 
"Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don't. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever." --Philip Andrew Adams
