Should You Downsize Before Retirement?

May 16, 2013 Leave a comment

Millions of homeowners live in large, often multi-story homes that they simply don’t need any longer. Their kids are grown and moved out. They don’t enjoy cleaning it. They can’t manage the huge yard. But they own it free and clear…so why move? Here are some thought-provoking questions for boomers to consider.

Is your house worth enough so that you can buy a nice condo or single level home for less? Are there desirable condos or single level homes you’d consider moving to? Would it be more profitable to invest your equity now rather than waiting to sell when you retire?

If you, or someone you know, lives in a home that’s too large for them now, and they might want help answering these real estate questions, please call me at 951-290-8850 or email me at RealEstateTate@gmail.com.  I’ll also send you my report, How to Sell Your House For the Most Money In the Shortest Possible Time.

How To Find Foreclosure Deals

May 3, 2013 Leave a comment

Home buyers often wonder how to find short sales and foreclosure deals. It’s not difficult. There’s no ‘secret’ source of these listings…they are typically found in the regular MLS, just like any other property. Banks and home owners want to sell as quickly as possible—and that means listing the home with a real estate agent, not hiding it.

While there are no secret foreclosures, there are databases that show properties in danger of foreclosure. Buyers must call the owners of these homes themselves to negotiate a sale, often calling 100’s to find one. For most buyers, the best approach to getting a deal is to ask their Realtor to update them daily on new listings, and be ready to jump on the right deal when it comes along.

If you, or someone you know, wants to get daily listing updates, please call me at 951-290-8850 or email me at realestatetate@gmail.com.  I’ll also send you my report, How to Buy a House With Little (or No) Money Down.

Spring Time To Sell A Home

April 1, 2013 Leave a comment

Dear Friends,

Here’s a quick note to let you know how I can help you—or anyone you feel comfortable introducing me to.

Late spring and summer are usually thought of as the best times to put a home on the market because buyer demand builds steadily throughout the spring. Sales then peak during the warmest months, June, July, and August, when it’s easiest for families to move without uprooting their children from school.

Note that homes going on the market in April and May are those that show up as “sold” homes in June and July, indicating that late spring might be the peak time to market a home to capture buyer interest. As a real estate consultant, I’ve observed that heavy buyer interest in April and May creates “market energy” that translates to faster sales at stronger prices.

If you, or someone you know, is trying to decide the best time to sell, please call me at 951-290-8850 or email me at realestatetate@gmail.com and  I’ll send you my free report, How to Sell Your House For the Most Money In the Shortest Possible Time.

Brain-ups Brain-ups Brain-ups

February 19, 2013 Leave a comment

Hey everyone! How are you all?

A while back I posted about my morning routine. Well, I’ve changed that routine a little bit and I feel amazing. Now, when I get up I start doing “brain-ups” for 10 minutes. Brain-ups are an awesome brain exercise where you focus your thoughts on all the things you’re grateful for. For example, I’m grateful for my warm bed, I’m grateful for my spouse, I’m grateful for my hot water, etc. I also started to drink 2 cups of room temperature water right away. The water does something amazing to my brain! Brain-ups and water are how I get my day off to an amazing start!
