It's the Weekend!

YEAH!

I hope this email finds you and the ones you love in great health and in joyous spirit.

I have been busy with Real Estate and taking care of my own Fall rituals here around the house and at work.

I wanted to take a few moments to touch base and remind you that if you have any Real Estate questions or know someone who does to email me back and I will get back to you as soon as I am able to.

I know many of us are looking forward to getting to the end of this year and may have completely put off buying/selling/leasing/renting anything that has to do with Real Estate.

But what if,.....

You considered buying and investing in Income Property or a Vacation Rental or Family Weekend Get-Away?

Hold that thought and continue to read below.

Right now (tonight) there are about 28 homes (SFH) with central A/C, 3 bedrooms and a private pool in the price range of about $110,000 - $250,000 in Palm Springs

Here is where it gets exciting:

A 96% loan ($109,000) at 5% and $3800 down = $795 a month - Yes,...home ownership with a pool in Palm Springs for less than $800 bucks a month. BUT we know interest rates are lower than 5% and many would work a little extra to come up with an even larger down payment.

Here is the rest of the picture: Right now there are 46 listed rentals in Palm Springs that have at least 3 bedrooms and the lowest priced rental is $1285 and there is only 1 listed 3 bedroom rental with a private pool and it is listed at $2190 a month.

Do the math and multiply by 12 months and then subtract 10% off the for maintenance. What could we end up with as a possible scenario? What about new deduction possibilities for your taxes? It keeps sounding better,.......

There are opportunities out there and I am here to help you find them.

Rental? Vacation Rental? Family Weekend Get-Away? Relocation? Retirement?

Why am I telling you this? Because there are many excellent opportunities in Real Estate and sometimes we all need a little nudge to think out of the box.

Even more great news is I am working with one of the top agents in Palm Springs and if you are serious about investing in your present & future, we are both here to help you out.

Please keep in mind you must ALWAYS consult your accountant and you must be aware of your own financial situation. This email is not to be considered financial advice but is meant for educational purposes only. Need help on this end of the equation? I know lenders who would be happy to help set you out on the path and to help you establish a better understanding of your possibilities in purchasing Real Estate.

If you are in the "Investor" group, now is a great time to leverage this market to your advantage. Low rates help save you $1000's. Low housing costs help you save $100,000's. The combination of the two could be a HUGE win/win in your favor.

Want to know more? Reply back to this email with questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Do you know someone who could take advantage of this info? Do you know anyone who might enjoy a family hide-away vacation home in Palm Springs? Please forward this email to them and have them contact me asap.

Head over to http://www.kwrealestate.listingbook.com and get an accurate idea of what rentals are costing. On a side note,..if you have money saved up for a down payment,....rental costs are exceeded the costs of home ownership in some areas. Yes,..Rent is costing more than a house payment.

Finding a home for sale is easy. Finding correct data,..not so much. How many search sites do you use to look for Real Estate? How many of those are lead/ad sites that use very old data?

Spectacular Deal! SMOKE'N HOT DEAL! Stunning Luxury Estate in SoCal!

2011-07-20T11:14:00.000-07:00

Magnificent equestrian estate property offers views and privacy featuring 6 bedrooms and 2 family rooms with built-in entertainment center.

The upper family/game room offers a wet bar, built-in dining area, ceiling fans, billiards and home theater.

Additional amenities throughout this home are endless with spacious guest suites, a grand master suite with private retreat and private balconies overlooking the grounds, formal living and dining rooms and a private library with French doors to the rear yard.

The resort style grounds are an entertainer's paradise with a Hawaiian Tropical theme including a beautiful waterfall cascading into the pool plus a separate waterfall outside the formal dining room.

A large pasture and stalls for mini-horses plus a large section of land for your very own private vineyard. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to buy this perfect estate. PERFECT FOR A VINEYARD!

SET-UP A PRIVATE SHOWING AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

This is a approved short-sale home.
Please have proof of funds/copy of a current bank statement
Please keep in mind this home is listed at a HUGE price reduction at this current time. This is one of the best deals for this amount of home AND land I have seen in a while.

Private, lush and spectacular. This could very well be your dream home.

Seriously - this house and it's amenities are spectacular. This is one of those amazing deals for those with the means to enjoy. If you are ready, willing and able, I am ready to help you own one of the best pieces of luxury in SoCal.

On a side not due to it's opulence it may not be everyone's preferred style with design and colors, but that's why SoCal has some of the best interior designers around. There are ample opportunities to change up and design your own glorious estate that will rival most others and is sure to be the the envy of many.

Keep in mind I am not representing the Seller of this home, nor am I representing the Bank. I am here to represent the Buyer's Best Interests Only. I do not play the conflicted interests game which got us into this Real Estate mess in the 1st place. Why choose a Realtor who is already bound to get the best price for the Bank and Seller? Choose to have someone represent YOUR best interests.

Just Think, if you were a client already and this home's amenities and size and price were what you wanted, you would have already been notified 1st thing in the AM.

Working with a Smaller Bathroom- Excellent Ideas From A Pro

2011-02-07T12:15:00.000-08:00

•Learn how to design a small bathroom without knocking down walls.
•Discover bathroom products made for small spaces.

In order to stand comfortably in your bathroom, do you need one foot in the tub?

Over the past 30 years, the average size of bathrooms in new homes has almost doubled. However, in many older houses the main bathroom has remained at its original 5- by 8-foot size.

Feel like time has passed your bathroom by? Don’t despair. The following eight tips fromKohler Design Center designer Diana Schrage will help you update your small bathroom, either by saving physical space or by using design techniques to increase the perception of space.

Enlarge photo

TIP 1: Toilet upgrade. Old toilets are larger and less efficient than newer models. To give yourself more room to operate, consider replacing your old model with a compact toilet. It's the same size as a round-frontmodel and still provides the comfort of an elongated seat. Plus, newer toilets use less water, making them friendlier to the environment.

TIP 2: Stick with solid colors. In a small room, busy patterns overpower and appear to shrink the space. Light, natural tones lend an open, airy feel. If you want to get creative, play with textures rather than patterns. Keep prints light and to a minimum.

Enlarge photo

TIP 3: Streamline the shower. Choose a sliding shower dooror shower screen. Sliding doors don't require door clearance, and the clear glass acts like a window, opening the space even more.

TIP 4: Lower your bath profile. To give the illusion of more space, consider replacing your old tub with a lower-walled model. Look for a 5-foot tub with a flat bottom. They're perfect for showering, but still deep enough for a pleasant bath. If you don't have the dimensions for a full bath, consider a corner shower enclosure.

TIP 5: Choose a smaller faucet. Change your faucet to a space-saving, single-controlmodel.

TIP 6: Downsize the vanity. Save real and perceived space by installing a petite vanity, smaller pedestal or wall-mounted sink.Console tables, even if they're not particularly small, help expand the perception of space thanks to their slender legs. You'll want to add shelving to make up for lost storage with a pedestal sink.

Enlarge photo

TIP 7: Work at the right height.Consider hanging your cabinet from the wall at a more comfortable height (around 34 or 36 inches) to avoid unnecessary bending. If possible, use niche shelving and a mirrored medicine cabinet to remove bulky furniture.

TIP 8: Use corner storage. Install shelving or build your storage units into the corner. Small bathrooms need to make use of all available space. Corners provide those extra inches, and create unique design solutions.

Well, Looks Like We Made It!

In the mean time - I have put together a Master List of all the lowest Priced Homes in SoCal. They are sorted by Bed/Bath combo and then we have a list sorted by SqFt and finally sorted by Private Pool.

I know we all have a huge amount of resources to use and as a Realtor I appreciate the opportunity you have given me to help YOU find the best fit for you and your budget.

Did You Know?

*Understanding your options
1) Your best agent is an agent who is willing to show you ALL homes for sale - Not just the ones listed by his or her office or the homes with the highest commission.
2) Your best agent is an agent who is a bit strict. You want an agent who has standards and will not have a huge file of active clients that eat up time. You want an agent that has the time and resources to focus on you and your needs.

Are you are interested in working with a Realtor who is dedicated to his clients and follows these above mentioned rules and has the expertise and support to help you be successful?

"The finest compliment
I could ever receive
Is a referral
From my friends and clients"

Here We Are! We made it, 2011, Here We Come!

2011-01-06T13:45:00.000-08:00

Wow, here we are with a brand new year and all sorts of great things for everyone to be excited about.

Stock markets are up, way up. The highest they have been in quite a while. New reports of massive amounts of new jobs being added and in general an amazingly better retail season this holiday.Add in the fact that many areas in Southern California already bottomed out and are on a slow rise, we all have many reasons to be excited as the prospects for the upcoming year.

With all this in the news and ringing in our ears we all need to be sure as we move forward we DO NOT take away this great advantage we have been given.

Here are some "TOP TEN" ideas you might consider for the new year:

1) Do not take out a 2nd mortgage to fund your family vacation or a brand new SUV. This gets you on Santa's Naughty List.

2) Buy what you can afford.

3) Do not carry a cc balance to the next month and pay those amazingly painful 20% interest rates. Ouch, do you really want to still be paying those when you are 90 years old?

4) Pay down those Credit Cards! Seriously, pay down your debt. Just ask Suzie. I am sure she has even more to say on that matter

5) Increase your Credit Score to over 725. Get Golden and get an 800 score!

6) If you have not already tried - try to get a refi on your home at a lower interest rate. You could save hundreds each month or 1 or 2 extra hot dogs at COSTCO.

7) If you have not already tried - try to get a refi on your car loan at a lower interest rate. Yeah, I did not say a new lease - I said on the car you are buying.

8) There is no such thing as a "Stupid Question" when you are looking after your financial well being and the future finances of your family. If you miss getting an answer and it costs you a few extra $1000 bucks down the road,....the feeling stupid may very well apply then.

9) If you are looking to sell your current home (no matter what state or where you live) contact Ken Webb (me) and let me see what I can do or have someone else do to help you out. Yes, I am a Realtor - This is My Job.

10) If you are looking to buy a home (no matter what state of where you live) contact Ken Webb (me) and let me see what I can do or have someone else do to help you out. Yes, really I am a Realtor and I only earn a paycheck when I help you accomplish your goal.

Now, off to a short and quick topic.

Those of us who are agents should not take oursleves so seriously all of the time. I know some of youy may be shocked but,..I am human and have all the issues that being human so generously shares with me.

From the days in the summer when I am running up and down hills in Laguna Beach putting signs out, yes I sweat,..alot! To the after lunch meeting where someone forgot they ate a whole lot of garlic and onions,..LOL - Was That ME?

I am now getting close to 41 so that means i have more wrinkles and gray hair. If i am not careful and I get caught up in the SoCal Beauty contest, I could end up looking like Joan Rivers just with much chunkier legs and more facial hair.

Suddenly that all sounds a bit scary ,...Joan Rivers with 5 o'clock shadow,...or is it already happening?

Take a few moments to enjoy the lighter side of life. Besides, it is only when you are able to laugh and point out your own faults that you have any standing to notice when someone else slips up and starts to look and act human.

Got it?

Good.

Serious Laughter,

Ken Webb

p.s. I am going to use this blog to also write funny stories about other agents I encounter. Watch out, you may get your 15 minutes of fame,...well,..maybe closer to 30 seconds,....

Looking for more? Hunt me down on YouTube, Blogger, Facebook, MySpace and Listingbee.com Just type in Ken Webb KW Realtor and you will access a world of information and one very cool agent.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2010-11-24T11:42:00.000-08:00

I had a repeat question that has been asked many times and in different forms. The question was about looking at just my/my office's listings.

FYI - looking at my listings are great, BUT there are other homes to look at. Why limit yourself to just my listings from my office? I think bigger, much bigger and so should you. If you where listing your home would you just want some buyers or would you want as many buyers as possible? You would want as many as possible. This is what I do for my clients.

Do Not limit your choices, I am hear to help you find the BEST match no matter who has the listing and no matter who the buyers are or where they come from.

School Lesson in Session:

Something to remember are the issues with "Agency".

If an agent has a listing their first job is to represent the Seller foremost.

If an agent has a listing and they also represent the buyer on the same house, they are in a situation where they have what is called "Dual Agency." This means they represent the Buyer and the Seller on the same home. Keep in mind that who ever they started with first has first position and the agent is required by law to represent that person foremost.

This does not apply to a Seller who has an agent help them sell their current home and then helps them (the Seller) find a new home to buy. This situation is fine unless the agent represents their current client plus they represent the new Seller on the new home purchase too.

A couple of ways to remove this obvious conflict of interest is for the listing agent to suggest another agent from their office represent the Buyer (you). This helps with conflict and the Agency stays the same as Dual Agency (because the agent is from the same office) but without the conflicts present when one agent represents both the Buyer and the Seller

I cannot even begin to count the amount of buyers who in hindsight feel they got less than adequate representation because they demanded to only work with a listing agent even after the agents suggested another agent to help represent the Buyer.

The perks of working with a listing agent do not always outweigh the possible problems.

If you demand to only work with a listing agent - PLEASE be aware.

An example ( albeit a bit funny) of having a seller's agent represent you as a buyer is kind of like if you where getting a divorce and you figured you would use your partners attorney that is coming after you in the divorce because you think it will save time and money.

Do you think you would get your best representation?

Just some thoughts to consider, because you are a very smart person and I always want to be sure I share with you the best possible options to help you as a Buyer, Seller or even BOTH!

Real Estate does not have to be a bad experience. Going into a purchase contract or a listing contract does not have to feel scary. Once you understand what I am prepared to do for you and how the contracts help protect everyone. The contracts makes for a smoother, better, and safer Real Estate transaction for everyone.

You would not buy a $30,000 car unless you had some sort of contract in place, why buy a $300,000 up to a multimillion dollar property without the same if not better protection in place as well?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Eat well, Drive safe and enjoy the time with friends, family and loved ones.

Sincerely,

Ken Webb

Listing in the SoCal Winter Months IS a Great Opportunity!

2010-11-22T13:28:00.001-08:00

People all over the USA all say the winter is a bad time to list a home.

This is wrong.

Stop and think for a moment what that actually means.

Here in Southern California the worst thing we get in winter time is rain. Yep, rain and some wind are about the worst thing we can count on in our winter time here in SoCal.

No snow,
No sleet,
No sheets of ice,
No snow tires,
No snow chains,
No three feet of snow drifts,
No shoveling snow off of sidewalks and driveways.

A house hunter who is looking for a home in the winter months in SoCal is a SERIOUS buyer.

If you are thinking of selling your home - NOW is the time to get after it. Let's Talk!

And just in case you think I am full of hot air, here is a video clip from another agent who is a kick in the pants and a seasoned Realtor as well with years of experience.

Here is What Herman Says:

Maybe it is time to consider doing things by the NEW Rules of Real Estate.

I would love to talk with you.
