Today I'm outside a property that we had under contract within two weeks of it hitting the market. We utilized our pre-marketing and our "Coming Soon" campaign to boost its visibility on the market, and it worked out quite nicely for us and our sellers.

In less than two weeks we had multiple offers on the property and it sold for 102% of the asking price. In total, the sale was over in less than 30 days.

We also had the privilege of helping these sellers find another home, and we would love to do the same for you.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you're interested in learning more about how we can help sell your home quickly and for top dollar.

We look forward to speaking with you!

Whether you are buying or selling a home, every transaction revolves around one primary document, the Residential Purchase Agreement, or RPA. We wanted to reach out to you today to let you know there are major revisions happening to the RPA that have already taken effect this November and will impact all of us.

Our entire team has already gone through extensive preparation to make sure we perform our fiduciary responsibility in representing you flawlessly with these new documents. A few of the changes affect issues like verification of down payment in the closing costs, termite inspection, or repairs, just to name a few.

As you can see, choosing the right real estate team to represent you in the home buying and selling process is extremely important. It's an absolute privilege to have someone trust us with something as important as their home sale. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your real estate needs, give us a call or send us a quick email. We hope to hear from you soon!

"I have nothing but good things to say about Paul and his team. They were able to get the house that was wanted in a timely manner! They were professional, kind, and thoughtful. Their concerns were my concerns and we really felt like we were their only client. They were always there and assured us that they would work very hard for us. We’re definitely going to use them in the future!"

Why Should You Sell During the winter?

Many people tend to think that selling their home during the winter is a waste of time. We have found that is not exactly the case. We actually have a list of 11 reasons why selling your home during the winter is a good idea. We are going to take a look at 3 of the most important ones today.

1. Serious Buyers
The people who are out here looking for homes now are serious. They could be spending time with their families and planning their holiday festivities, but instead they are out searching for a great home.

2. Fewer Homes
With low inventory on the market right now, these folks will have fewer choices for homes. Selling now gives you less competition from other homes on the market, and makes your home stand out more.

3. Holiday Decorations
During the winter, homes sell better because of the increased number of festive and fun holiday decorations. This creates an enticing atmosphere for buyers.

If you have been thinking about selling anytime throughout the winter, but don't want it to cut into your family holiday time, we completely understand. It is very easy for us to restrict showings during the holidays, so you can spend all the time you need with your family.

If you have any questions, or would like the full list of 11 reasons to list your home during the winter, make sure to give us a call or send us an email.

How we helped Mary buy a home by always making ourselves available

paulvyhnalek@kw.com (Paul Vyhnalek) — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:29:00 -0700

"We had wonderful results with Paul! He helped us find a home within 2 weeks! When we had decided to start aggressively looking, he made himself available the following weekend and even dedicated a whole Saturday to us. We saw maybe about 7 homes that day and we picked one that we were interested in and Paul arranged for a walk through that Sunday. We fell in love with the house and he just really went above and beyond to make sure we got into that home."

What's Happening in Glendora and Upland?

Because we at Paul Vyhnalek Real Estate Experts service such a large area in Southern California, we will be discussing a few specific locales each week. Today, we'll talk about some market trends we've seen in the Glendora and Upland areas over the last 6 months.

Glendora

Active listings: 93
Average days on market: 60-70 days
Pending home sales: 27
Off-market homes: 31
Closed sales: 226

Upland

Active Listings: 164
Average days on market: 60 days
Pending home sales: 49
Off-market home: 63
Closed sales: 319

What does all this mean? Active listings signify the number of homes available to be purchased, while pending home sales are situations where an offer has been accepted, the home is in escrow, and the parties are working toward a closed sale - in other words, you have happy sellers and excited buyers.

These numbers are good news because home prices have fallen flat in these areas since 2013, but we are still seeing a lot of buying activity. We've also seen that sellers are getting just about what they are asking for their home. Sellers that price their home right from the beginning are getting 98% of the list price with few, if any, concessions during negotiations.

Every week we put together an in-depth look at what the market is up to. You can access that for free at PaulVyhnalek.com. Or, if you would like to ask specific questions about your area, feel free to give us a call. We are always available to help you make sense of our area markets!

How we helped Joyce with her real estate transaction by explain everything in detail

paulvyhnalek@kw.com (Paul Vyhnalek) — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:33:00 -0700

"We had an excellent experience. Paul was thorough, he explained everything to me in detail, and I had no problems at all. Even when I gave up, Paul encouraged me. He really went above and beyond with the transaction because the buyer’s representative didn’t respond to him in a professional way that allowed him to do his job. Paul just went forward with it to get the agent on board so we could close on time. It was fantastic!"

How we helped Phil by keeping the transaction moving

paulvyhnalek@kw.com (Paul Vyhnalek) — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:28:00 -0700

"We had found a place in Las Vegas that we decided to buy and about a month later we were going to be in Hawaii for 2 weeks for vacation. Paul came over and we talked about everything from depersonalizing the house to what we expected to get for it. The open house was about 2 days after we were in Hawaii and the very next day we had 2 offers. We ended up getting more than what I thought we would get for it and we were able to close almost simultaneously on both of our transactions because Paul really went to bat to get everything moving."
