Make your offer to get to the bottom of the market.

Have you ever seen a property that was a perfect match but you held off purchasing it because you were waiting for the price to drop?  Did someone else buy that property before you had a chance to make your offer?  How close was the new “happy owner’s” price compared to what you wanted to offer?

Timing is everything!  If your market area has not hit bottom, now is the time to make your best offer and get it to that bottom before someone else does.  It’s all about timing.  If you don’t make an offer you will never get the property.

It’s critical for consumers to know their target market trend to understand the direction of that market.  An educated Realtor will know how to analyze area markets and establish the market trend to help determine your area’s value.

Newport Beach Home Owners – I can help you avoid Foreclosure

You deserve a real estate agent who cares about you and puts your needs first.  Your agent must also have the skill to get the job done.   As an industry veteran, HREU and PSC graduate, I can give you both.

Short sales are a large part of today’s market, but few agents have the specialized training needed to complete them effectively.  These transactions are complex and difficult. They also carry hidden risks for you as a seller or buyer, which an inexperienced agent may not even be aware of.

I have a track record of successful short sales, and my Pre-foreclosure Specialist Certification assures you that I have completed the most rigorous short sale training in the industry. With the skill I’ve acquired, I will help you navigate the sale process to a successful close.

Here are some of the elements of that process:
•Establish a competitive price
•Communicate with lenders and gain their cooperation
•Execute aggressive marketing plan
•Guide seller in selecting the right offer
•Assemble an airtight short sale submission package
•Negotiate settlement terms with junior lien holders
•Seek complete release of debt liability on all mortgages
•Gain cooperation of homeowners’ association and mortgage insurers
•Monitor settlement process from beginning to close

It should be clear that your transaction needs the skilled hand of an expert.
I’ll provide that for you.  You can obtain peace of mind by placing the burden  on me to accomplish selling your home as a short sale.

I can also tell you about government plans that may help you, such as the
Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program.

Please contact me… We’ll work together to build your future.

Newport Beach Real Estate greatest value is in the land closest to the ocean.

Every market has experienced a decline in housing prices including Newport Beach, CA.

However, our coastal communities will continue to be a popular purchase choice by investors because the Newport Beach Real Estate greatest value is in the land closest to the ocean.  “The higher you are the harder you fall” is true with the bargains that can be found on the waterfront.  I believe there will always be a buyer for these luxury homes because history has proven that Newport Beach homes recovery rate is greater than most other areas.
