Private Property Ownership = Liberty!

Read this great article by our NAR President Published in the Washington Times, want to share it with all of you since it really sums up what is important in our country!


Another take on why Home Ownership is so important to America and how things went awry!  The American Dream is the result of hard work, sacrafice, and responsible spending.  Life always throws curves, its how you deal with them that proves out the character and resourcfulness of an individual.

This is a definte possibility if the economy worsens and jobs arn't allowed to be created.  Your tax dollars at work for those that don't.
Our NAR has a response to this and it is definitly structured to aid the homeowners, small inverstors and keep Government out of the home buying and selling business.  If the private individual is allowed to purchase property he is qualified for, why make the housing industry stay on the ropes??
The engine of our economy will contine to struggle if the Government continues to intervene, create unnecessary agencies, bureacracies and regulations that hinder this normal process.

I love to do what I do BEST.
Call me, I'd love to see YOU in the American Dream

Do'in it right the first time, saves money

So you wanted to save some money . . . .

We all want to spend as little as is needed, especially when it is not on the fun stuff. Insulating the attic, home repair and improvement that is not seen, having a new roof put on because of a roof leak. It has gotten rather popular to venture into the DIY (do it yourself) experience,  watch some videos on how to replace windows and give it a whirl yourself.

Well that old adage of measure twice, cut once will fit right in here. Do it right, with the right tools and the trained/experienced professional the first time and you won’t have regrets. Cut corners . . .

and the aggravation of finding out several years later that someone forgot to put something together right, can really be disruptive to your living environment. Let me tell you!

No matter what the area of expertise, the right professional, with the right tools is what will save you in so many ways in the long run.

When it's Real Estate,  there is so much to be aware of.  Whether it be purchasing, leasing, having your property managed or selling, to not know the laws, regulations, or local codes, could cost you, not just finacially.  The stress and wasted time are incalcuable.  It's so important to choose and experienced, qualified professional Realtor.

Professionalism Distinguishes the Best!

THIS REAL ESTATE MARKET STINKS!



Eh, Maybe not!
Yes, prices have declined - but weren’t they over inflated in the first place, rising at unbelievable leaps and bounds since the mid 90’s??
The unfortunate manipulation of the banking laws, the interaction between commercial banks and investments houses and the blind eye by Congress instead of oversight and protection of Americas’ financial interests at home and abroad set the stage. Greed and excess has run it’s course like a juggernaut, inflicting indiscriminate destruction. Many, many people have lost homes, most that didn’t qualify for home ownership in the first place and some are those that are the unfortunate victims of job loss or cutbacks because of the economy and the myriad of life changes that have a financial impact.
Yes, there is a shake-out going on, a blood letting for some and a rude awakening for those that were riding high on someone else’s dime. None of it FAIR!

But there are tremendous opportunities going on as long as one is qualified. Prices have been reduced dramatically, if it is a distressed property, and the supply is plentiful.! Interest rates are at historic lows so this actually is a tremendous time to buy Real Estate, if you qualify for loans or have that magical item - CASH. Amazing how many investors do!!

Look around my website - there are so many Deals to be had both in Santa Cruz and my beloved Lake Tahoe.

Here is a property that is absolute GOLD, don't miss it.


Call me, I'd love to help you live the life you love!

Liar Loans - AGAIN?




Can't believe this is in Full Swing again. Where are the regulations, regulators, Congressional oversight, the transparency?
Why are these loans being offered again? This is what exacerbated the problem of No enforcement of regulations, and No Congressional Oversight, all the while, well connected politicians were reaping these loans, along with the 'folks'!! and it wasn't the top of the Food Chain that went to prison, just the average Joe.
Yes, this was just one of several facets that caused this Real Estate bubble to burst, so why quietly get this engine up and running again??
What ever you do, DON'T get caught up in this second round of deceit. It will only bode ill for you and your finances. A part of this puzzle that is not 'Found out' till after the signing of doc's are all the details no one bothered to tell the borrowers. Time/money triggers or Balloon payments that are the downfall of many a family.

There are plenty of loans out there for those that qualify. If you can't afford to own a home, that is just the way it is. Responsible spending, saving and just plain old living within your means should be the norm not these crazy gymnastics created by politicians for votes!

For honest, proven Lenders and Mortgage Brokers that won't sell you down the river for a commission, call me! I have worked with the BEST and have proven them out!!
