Feng Shui and Your Cerritos Home for Sale

Ric & Pamela — Tue, 22 May 2012 23:08:53 +0000

Selling a home can be quite challenging at times, causing sellers to question what they can do to make the sale occur more quickly. Service providers such as home stagers, organizers, and professional clutter eliminators can all offer assistance, but many sellers are also considering the art of feng shui, through consulting services or as a do-it-yourself technique. Feng shui offers some universal principles that can benefit in selling your Cerritos home, whether you subscribe to tenants from the form or compass school, or prefer the eight mansion Bagua theory, so utilize the ones that work best in your home. The overall goal is to create “positive chi” or energy flow in each room of your home.

This quote from A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style, by Tim Gunn, can help you understand how something as seemingly insignificant as a closet can affect you and your potential buyer. “Closets are where we hide things: skeletons, forbidden loves, terrible birthday gifts we couldn’t return. It is for this reason that deciding what to wear while staring into those murky depths can be not just daunting, but emotionally exhausting as well.” Using feng shui techniques, you can clear the clutter, along with the negative memories and energy, creating a home that will sell more easily. On that note, let’s move to 5 real tips that will give you positive emotional energy while readying your home for sale.

#1 Open the windows and doors. Let a breeze blow through your home to clear the negative energy and refresh you as you begin your work.
#2 Step outdoors onto your walkway, the entrance of your home. What do you see first when you walk into your home? Clear any cobwebs and dust and make sure nothing is blocking the entrance. If you have to step over something, remove it.
#3 Add energy with greenery. Whether an indoor or outdoor plant, make sure your home feels vibrant through adding plant energy. You can do this through exterior landscaping, by adding fresh flowers to the entry, or with the addition of indoor plants.
#4 Add positive energy through art and movement through proper mirror placement. There are tons of books that can guide you through this step, however, remember that the goal is to reflect positivity and not overwhelm or create clutter in your home for sale.
#5 Clear the clutter. Cull what you don’t need and create a “spa feel” throughout your home in all rooms. Counters should be free of objects and papers, furniture should be placed to allow for ease of movement. Any obstacles to interior door entrances should be moved.

While these feng shui tips may not offer a “cure all” to getting your home sold, they can definitely point you in the right direction. Stop by the library and get a few books on feng shui to increase your knowledge. As you do, take care to notice your landscaping and apply some shine and good chi to your Home for Sale sign, too.

Orange County Buyers Attracted to Luxury Homes

Ric & Pamela — Tue, 22 May 2012 17:33:26 +0000

When the Rossmoor real estate market undergoes the kind of wide changes we’ve seen recently, you would expect changes in how prospective buyers approach their choices. No surprise there.

With lending tight and larger deposits often being sought by lenders, many of this spring’s Rossmoor homebuyers are seeking ‘move-in ready’ properties…homes that require little or no out-of-pocket cash before moving in. That growing segment of the buying public has grown weary of bargain-hunting, are tired of viewing REO’s and short sales — and just want to be able to settle into their new Orange County home as-is. They want a bottom line cost that’s nailed down.

Automatically qualified to interest such homebuyers are today’s local luxury homes: homes with features that bring a higher-end “feel” — even if their size or location would seem to indicate otherwise. Adding some of these features can send the ‘luxury’ message…and adding some of those features can cost less than you’d think!

Luxury homes almost always have a well-planned, open kitchen. One step in the right direction is to simply remove everything from counters to create the look of more space. The current tendency is to value kitchens with a multitude of storage and counter space. Where that’s not possible, actually more important will be adding new appliances with a modern feel: go for stainless steel to create the feel of luxury – possible even in modest spaces.

Another feature qualifying luxury homes is at least one luxury bathroom. Here, it is hard to get past the need to provide ample space for comfort, though spa-style baths are one item that can do the trick. You may also consider a tile mosaic backsplash: that kind of tasteful design touch goes far toward creating a feel of luxury. More simply (and economically), just changing out the faucets to a brushed nickel or other metal surface (please – not gold!) can do the trick. Add fluffy white towels, an orchid or two, and great smelling candle and voila! Instant luxury. Depending on the layout of your bathroom, changes can be pleasingly inexpensive.

Luxury homes may also include green features. New windows, added insulation, and solar heating are prime examples, but without the budget for major improvements, it’s also possible to take a more modest approach. New energy-efficient LED light bulbs can be one minor feature that can add appeal to today’s luxury homebuyers. You may also consider getting your home LEED rated through a national or local institution. Not only will your family benefit from installing green features, but it will encourage most buyers to consider your home a notch above the local competition.

Of course, there is no substitution for good old-fashioned personal advice. If you’re mulling over your own home sale this spring , contact us anytime for a custom consultation about practical ways you can maximize your prospects.

Taking Stock of Buena Park Home Values

Ric & Pamela — Mon, 21 May 2012 16:42:04 +0000

Figuring out home values when the market is in flux is truly a job for experts. We have seen the national real estate market begin to rebound, and expect Buena Park home values to soon start to reflect movement as well. Most local homeowners are in the habit of keeping an eye on area home values. But especially for anyone considering buying or selling this summer, estimating their home’s value is one of the first items on the agenda.

To get you started, there are a couple of different methods to help establish a ballpark estimate of what your home may currently be worth.

Certainly the quickest and easiest tool is the calculator on Bank of America’s website, at http://realestatecenter.bankofamerica.com/tools/marketvalue.aspx. This free online calculator uses accumulated public record data joined with other factors to produce an estimate of home values. All you need to do is enter your address and wait for the magic.

We do have to put in a word of caution, though. Like any computer program, it’s fast and precise –but also maddeningly capable of disregarding what we humans think of as ‘common sense.’ So, while it is fun and interesting to get this kind of readout, it’s at best a ballpark estimate (and at worst, downright misleading!).

There are many other sites boasting similar tools — variations of the same idea and pulling from slightly different data sets — but the approach they use to calculate home values stays the pretty much the same. You only need to enter your address and there you go: instant estimate.

While these calculators are great at aggregating data, nothing replaces human input. Real estate is, after all, the very definition of a local occurrence, so if you’re looking for more than an estimate, it’s time to call the pros in.

When an experienced agent (someone like yours truly) creates their professional estimate, it not only takes into account the trends for properties closest to yours, but also incorporates real life features — such as the curb appeal your home and garden offers right now. The better kept your property is at any given time, the greater its estimated value should be. An agent can also suggest the small changes that work best to enhance a property’s value.

If you have been considering selling a home and are curious about today’s Buena Park home values, call us anytime for a complimentary (and 100% human) consultation!

Play to Win When Buying a Buena Park Home

Ric & Pamela — Tue, 08 May 2012 10:00:23 +0000

Many areas of the United States are seeing a shift towards a seller’s market. In a seller’s market, homes for sale may receive multiple offers and are often sold in less time. Home sellers get excited at that news, but if you are trying to purchase a Buena Park home, it may make competition a bit tougher. If you have been searching for a home and have finally settled on one that you love, don’t delay on contacting your lender, or you may miss out on the home of your dreams.

Interest rates have been reduced to historic lows allowing you, the Buena Park home buyer, to get more home for the same amount of money, which sounds fantastic. However, if you do not “lock” in your rate and then follow through with providing the necessary paperwork in a timely manner, you could lose your opportunity. More than ever, now is the time for you to know the rules and play to win in the housing and lending market. If you are wondering about how you can make sure you are doing all you need to qualify for your loan and your Buena Park home, contact us or consult the following list.

DO get your paperwork in time. Whether you are asked for a letter of employment verification or 27 pages of bank statements, do not delay in submitting these documents to your lender. Any delay can result in your loan taking longer than necessary, making the seller potentially question your ability to purchase, especially when back up offers have been submitted.
Do not encourage the seller to begin any construction work until after the appraisal, even if your inspection warrants changes being made. An appraiser could see the hardhats and debris and devalue the property. Wait until AFTER the appraisal is complete to request repairs OR agree to do the work yourself once you own the home.
Do not buy a new car or new furniture or go on a celebratory shopping spree until your escrow has funded! Credit ratios are VERY important at this time and if they become out of balance or new credit is extended, it can make you less likely to qualify for your home loan. It does not matter if the offer is ZERO percent interest… it still affects your credit line.
DO pay your current financial obligations. During the busy home buying time, it can be easy to forget to pay bills or miss deadlines – be careful because late payments will reflect negatively on your credit and could even result in your loan being denied.
Do not make changes in your employment – including changing jobs to make more money. The key to getting a mortgage is showing a picture of stability and a job change could tarnish that image. Wait until after escrow closes to accept the new position.

Set the Stage for a Successful La Palma Home Closing

Ric & Pamela — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:48:38 +0000

Surprises can be a lot of fun. Being blindsided when friends throw you a surprise birthday party is a fine example. Getting an unexpectedly large tax return is another. But when you’re about to close escrow on a new La Palma home, surprises are the last thing you need.

One of the most important services we provide as your experienced La Palma real estate agents is to be there to help you sail through the process of a surprise-less closing. Even so, it’s important for you to review some basics of the steps we need to accomplish in advance. I consider it ‘surprise insurance’ for a successful closing.

Financing

Proper financing is the first step in being able to close on the home you’ve just fallen in love with. Ideally, this was arranged before you even began looking at La Palma homes for sale, but if you waited, time to get that financing secured is ASAP. We help my clients pre-qualify for a loan well before we make it into escrow.

Appraisal

Equally vital is getting the subject property appraised by an experienced Orange County professional. This will give you the true value of the property. Even after you’ve fallen in love with a home (or maybe especially after), you need assurance that the price you are paying is what it is worth. As important, that appraisal will be one of the key points helping the bank decide to issue your loan. I can help with a referral to a qualified professional (if the bank doesn’t require their own appraiser).

Title

Finally, selecting and hiring a reputable Orange County title company can help make the process of closing go much more smoothly. This allows all of the parties to be protected through the entire closing process. Neglecting this important step can lead to surprises in the final closing – exactly what we’ve been working to avoid. It will also be important that you check every line of the estimated closing costs when presented – small mistakes here can cause big problems later, so plan your day to allow time to review the important parts of those documents.

When your preparations have included these steps, you will find yourself well prepared to close your escrow without a hitch. And no surprises. If you are considering looking at homes to buy in La Palma or surrounding areas, call us anytime – if you have questions, we have answers!

Selling Your Cypress Home : Is It A Volvo or a Ferrari?

Ric & Pamela — Fri, 04 May 2012 09:00:59 +0000

When listing your Cypress home for sale, you need to recognize what you are actually selling. In some ways, selling your Cypress home can be very similar to putting your car up for sale. You are selling a piece of your life, a subset of you, and in doing so, you must be prepared.

First and foremost, who will you have do the preparation and advertising? Will you do it yourself or have someone you trust to represent you – someone who has experience? Someone who knows your market best?

Secondly you should consider the type of home you have – is it more of a sedan-style or do you own a luxury home? Perhaps your home is uniquely architectural in style, a Lamborghini Countach so to speak, and would only appeal to a very select audience? If so, make sure your home receives the proper representation, rather than listing it yourself or through an unknown real estate agent.

Regardless, whether you are selling a favored vehicle or your much loved home, these five simple keys will help you to get the most out of your investment.

Key 1: Know the Market – Evaluate information on homes that are similar to your own in your same location. Pay attention to the year, condition, and upgrades of comparable homes, as you would a car. Instead of mileage, however, consider square footage. Use the classifieds or rather Craig’s List to see “real” prices for quick sale homes. Make sure your pricing is in the ballpark before listing your home.
Key 2: Recognize Your Home’s “Curb Appeal” - People make impressions quickly, with cars and with homes. Before you list your home, take care to do whatever “detailing” you can to spruce it up. You want your sellers to feel so “at home” that they won’t want to leave, similar to the feeling of wanting to drive a new car off the lot. Maintenance records and warranties that apply to your home are great to show, if you have them. Keep in mind that a well-loved and maintained home is a much more attractive purchase than a neglected one.
Key 3: Showing Your Home - When you sell your home, people will also be catching a glimpse into your life. Buyers may be uneasy about their decision and answering their questions openly can smooth things over. If a potential buyer asks to have a home inspection (similar to having a mechanic review a car prior to purchase), recognize the validity of the request and ask to see the report once completed.
Key 4: Negotiate Until Everyone is Happy - Once the inspection or “test drive” has been completed, most buyers will accept the home “as is” or want to negotiate fees in exchange for the “fixes”. As a seller, it is wise to consider all possibilities, perhaps the sale price could decrease to accommodate the needs, or perhaps a favorite contractor could make the changes quickly and easily. Make sure you reach an agreement with a buyer that is contingent on the sale closing before performing any repairs.
Key 5: Finalize the Sale - Rules governing the sale of motor vehicles AND the sale of homes vary from state to state and even county to county at times. Having a trusted real estate agent and escrow company to guide you through the legal jargon can be invaluable. The money from the sale and proper paperwork required with each sale can be overwhelming and you will come to rely heavily upon those guides.

Once your home is sold, remember to remove your belongings, as you would with your car, and don’t forget to hand over the keys.

Buena Park House Hunting Ground Rules

Ric & Pamela — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:54:05 +0000

Does May find you looking for a home to call your own? In Buena Park’s current bargain-rich real estate market, you’ll find that you’re not alone! If it’s been a while since you last house-hunted (or if it’s your first time out), it’s important to go over some basics.

A real estate agent or broker who lists a property is usually working for the seller. Since it takes a buyer to make anything happen, there are also buyer’s agents. Although anyone is free to buy or sell on their own, there are good reasons why most buyers decide to enlist a buyer’s agent to represent their interests exclusively.

A Buyer’s Agent Protects You

Let’s say you stop by a weekend open house, and there it is — your dream home! The listing agent is very nice and wants to help you to write up an offer to purchase through her. This is called a “dual agency,” and is not necessarily a great idea (some brokerages even forbid it). The problem is that the seller’s agent rightly wants to get the highest price for the property because she represents the owner. If I were working with you as your buyer’s agent, my job would be to represent your interests, so an offer I wrote could look quite a bit better from your prospective. That’s why it is prudent to find a Buena Park agent to represent you before even starting your search.

Loose Lips Sink Ships

Whenever you are house hunting, be careful of what you say to the seller’s agent. Resist the temptation to discuss financial matters or to mention that you are in a rush to buy: either could damage your chances of getting the home you want on terms you want. Always bear in mind that the agent is working for the seller, not for you.

Consider Signing a Contract

As soon as you sign a contract with a Buena Park buyer’s agent or broker, you put a real estate professional to work for you. It is a legally binding agreement in writing that obligates the agent to work to get you the best deal possible. You may also sign an exclusive contract with your buyer’s agent, which gives the agent an extra assurance that his or her work is likely to accomplish what you both want — a deal that puts you in your new home. Worth noting: except in extremely rare cases, you as a buyer should never have to pay a commission. If an agent asks you for a fee upfront, that’s your signal to run the other way! It’s part of the MLS listing agreement that fees and commissions belong on the seller’s side.

Finding an experienced Buena Park buyer’s agent for your side – one you feel comfortable with, who listens to your needs and who offers expert suggestions and advice – will be well worth the time it takes. But it doesn’t even have to take much time: We’re right here!

Tapestry Walk – La Palma’s First New Homes Since 1996

Ric & Pamela — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:53:31 +0000

Olson Homes, officially announced Tapestry Walk, La Palma’s first new home residential community since 1996. One of the leading developers of in-town urban living, Olson Homes has developed a number of flourishing urban living expansions across Southern California.

The community of the Tapestry Walk consists of 12 town homes, out of which three homes will be sold to lower income group, while the other three will be sold to moderate income buyers. The rest of the homes are likely to be below low $400,000s. The size varies from more than a thousand square feet, and the units offer up to 4 bedrooms with 2-3 bathrooms. The scarcity of new homes as well as competitive prices makes Tapestry Walk a good option to potential buyers who are living on rent and desire to move in their own house.

Situated next to Montecito Villas on La Palma Avenue, Tapestry Walk is at a central location with easy access to good schools, points of recreation and proximity to employment. This is bound to attract buyers from both Los Angeles Counties and Orange. Money Magazine has already listed La Palma as the sixteenth Best Small City in the country and was one of the 3 California Cities to make it to the top 100 list.

The Olson Company, which has already collected prestigious Eliant Awards in six categories as well as number one ranking for the “Design Selection” experience, believes in offering style and comfort. It always follows the approach of detail-oriented concept when providing these communities. Olson Company well understands the needs of the buyers and what all goes in the mind of the buyer when looking for new home. This is the reason why continued support services and financial education is offered by the Olson.
