The World Series ~ Our Giants

Watching sports is not on my activity list.  
Hence, rarely has there come along a group of athletes that I have really cared to watch.  
The talent, that has been on display by the Giants though, to this casual observer, is note worthy.
So much so, I have been compelled to pen some of my observations of those that have propelled Our Giants   to the stature they are rising too.
The Stoic and focused accuracy of Bumgarner, his concentration and serenity in the midst of absolute roaring tumult brings to mind the functioning of a laser.  Nothing veers him from the target or takes him off course.
Sandoval, a powerhouse of purpose.  His ability to thrust himself to succeed, be 100+% and to perform with a grace not expected.  Hidden talents called upon at the right time and place.
Panick, what the Giants don't have to do with Joe on board.  This soon to be 24 year old has the perception  of an 'Old pro'.  Reading every movement of the game, with '360 degree' awarness and the look of a 'Sweet Young Kid', he is all that will be the winning formula for years to come with the Giants.
Pence, an incredible workhorse. The Game maker.  The glue of the team.  The way he dogs the ball, leaps, runs and stretches the limits ~ amazing to watch.  If he is not MVP someone needs a thrashing.

 I am in withdrawals, so I write to ease the void.  I love great talent no matter what it is.  Art, cooking, music, champagne, physical agility ~ ah 
so many aspects of life to do well in!!

 If you are looking for an expert, 
with years of experience in Real Estate ~ you found me!

 Great connections, great results, great timing!

 Call anytime and GO GIANTS!!

It's another Beautiful Day In California and you Don't. . . . .

. . . . have to wonder why people flock here,  And have smiling faces!
Whether it be to the coast  where the gentle breezes, crystal skys and glowing sun  activate the smells of the 
Beaches
or
the staggeringly Beautiful Redwoods, mosses, ferns and the cool damp magic of our forests that lull one into a fantesy world of peace and pleasure.
You will find what ever you are looking for along the California Coast.
Specifically, Santa Cruz has it all!
From Wineries to Lavender fields, crashing waves loaded with surfers and an array of tantalizing restaurants, and bakeries ~~  I have my favorites!
Want to have an eturnel Smile on your face?

Call me, I will give you a reason for every day of the year!

Is this the year that . . . . . ?

. . . .  the health of the Real Estate world will stabalize?

Been hearing, for years now, that we are back to a "Normal" Real Estate market and then look in the rear view mirror to see  ~~~  not so much!

I, like many in my profession,  have been reading the standard sources we have been led to believe are the trades' banner information pulse points.  But you have to dig deeper, keep your ears to the ground because, yes, in this business, it's all about the dirt and what is fertilizing it!!

Watching what the  Wall St. Real Estate Sydicators are doing, is far more important than the publications that tell you what has happened, well after they have closed deals on billions of $$$$$ of foreclosed homes.

These are the Bailout Babies, the Investment Bankers' "Devices", to capitalize on the forclosure debacle.
To see if the market will stabalizes for the general population here's the fertilizer.

When you see Blackstone, Coloney, Oaktree and their ilk pausing their purchasing in areas, thats when the prices have risen out of the investor/profit margin.  The choice foreclosures have been snapped up.
They with the deep pockets, that only pay attention to the dollars, not the dahlias that have been nurtured in the landscaping or the measurement markings on the kitchen wall.
"They" are moving on to greener pastures where their bulk buying power can turn a market on a dime.

The average "Joe"  will have a chance to own but the price has already started creeping up.  If you are looking for the longterm, it's time to live the dream, dive in, otherwise you will really loose out.
Set YOUR roots, make your memories, put holes in the walls for YOUR pictures.

When will the Real Estate World stabalize?   When you become and Owner and not a renter!
When you chose to make the commitment for the biggest purchase of your life, in a realistic way.
Don't know how, call me, I have guided many in happy home ownership.


So many factors to keep track of  for specific areas.  Remember Real Estate is Local! 
What is affecting Des Moins, is different for Seattle and you have to know the driving forces.

If tracking this info is not a part of your work world, you want to get the most out of your investment and live the life you want to love, call me THIS is what I do for a living and I specialize in several areas of California. The places I have spent years enjoying my life in and sharing those secret hidden places.

Windows of Opportunity and The Winds of Change in Real Estate


The Winds are always Changing in Real Estate, that's what keeps us on our toes!!  The latest recap is evidence of the variables that are tabulated, studied and pondered, to try and predict what's next!
I pay attention to the national news and what my clients personal experiences are.  In my 35+ years of experience, no one can predict the future ~~ there are too many variables in the mix.  

 The BEST determinant is doing what is BEST for your family and current situation.  You might choose to be trendy, that could mean trouble, unless you have deep pockets and can absorb the unexpected.

There is a current Window of Opportunity by which I mean, a lull in the increases in prices.  Who knows how long this will last or what the next hiccup will bring!  But NOW is an opportune time to invest in YOUR FUTURE! 

 The past year has been a wild ride with multiple offers for both my buyers and sellers but it has consistently worked out for the BEST for all my clients.  Amazing!  Even though we had been in bidding exchanges for my buyers, we ultimately came out with the BEST properties, in all instances, that suited my buyers ~~  it was just in the Stars!!
Just when you are getting discouraged, defeated, deflated ~~ up pops a property that is better in so many ways and I get the call, that the owner accepted our offer, as written, no counter!  Woowhooo!
This is the fun part, getting peoples dreams to materialize.  Having the experience to make it a smooth process and the knowledge and connections to have the right resources to work through the wrinkles.
The market is quieting down now, a combo of the season and a slight uptick in the interest rate affecting those non-cash buyers.

 Since the inventory has been and  is still low, great time to put it out there if you are needing/wanting to sell any real estate.  Amazing amount of cash buyers, I have had several each year for the past four ~~  this results in a quick escrow AND SELLERS MOVING IN THE DIRECTION THEY WANT TO GO.

 The bottom line is that now remains a great time to consider a home purchase or refinance, as home loan rates remain attractive compared to historical levels. Let me know if I can answer any questions at all for you.

Relationships are Gold - Make good ones!


Reflecting on my last six months,  in this last six years of Real Estate dis-combobulations,  I can testify why I keep re-newing my Brokers license. 
It's all about the relationships.
Establishing, growing, nurturing the basic connections we all have.
Getting to know people and enjoying their company, families, activities is one thing, but when it gets into something more important, on the level of helping people, the relationship takes on a whole new level and can truly define who is who! This is when the true meaning of relationships come out and blooms. 
Amazing how the GOLD in people can shine through.
The opportunity to teach someone how to cook and a special dish is made, how to thread a needle and then, a piece of clothing takes shape.  The process and end result is GOLD.  This all develops a relationship of GOLD and inspires others to do the same!
Creating a thing of value far greater than material objects, feel good trophies and ribbons, but heart to heart understandings and quality interactions that can't be mistaken, that leave the warmest of memories.
 
Helping a client buy their first home or fifth, following through on all the specifics of the contract, inspections, details and having that successful - Close of Escrow . Following up after the COE making sure all is well -  A  GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO SHINE. 
To know you did the BEST job for them is GOLD.
This summer has been busy, and GOLDEN, with the referrals that keep popping up, it will continue into this next year. 
Yes, referrals from my happy relationships ~~  that's another story!

Keep making those relationships and memories, it's amazing how contagious it can be.
