How to determine the Best real estate professional for you!
Sometimes San Diego real estate buyers and sellers experience difficulty selecting the perfect Real Estate Professional to assist them with their home buying and selling experience.
Often it can be as easy as taking a test to find the perfect agent for your home buying or selling experience.
Find out who truly is the very best Real Estate Professional for YOU!
(DON’T SCROLL DOWN YET)
DO THE SIMPLE MATH BELOW, AND THEN SCROLL DOWN TO FIND THE PERFECT REAL ESTATE AGENT FOR YOU.
No Peeking!!!
It’s AMAZINGLY CRAZY how accurate this is!!
1) Pick your favorite number between 1-9
2) Multiply by 3
3) Add 3
4) Multiply by 3, again
5) You should now have a 2 or 3 digit number….
6) Add the digits together
Now, scroll down.
With that number, see who your PERFECT AGENT is from the list below:
(1) Your cousin, Vinny, who just received his real estate license this past Tuesday
(2) Bob, who rode his bicycle 7 miles to your house, because he lost his license to drive
(3) Nancy, who told you to get in, sit down, and shut up, because you were in for the ride of your life
(4) Madeline, the agent who consulted with a Ouija board to determine your home’s list price
(5) Eric, who brought his aggressive Pit Bull along for showings, because he didn’t know “who” or “what” we might encounter while viewing vacant properties
(6) Marcus, your car’s auto-mechanic, who also sells real estate on Sundays, and sometimes in the evenings
(7) Allison, who once volunteered her time at the hospital, but is into real estate as a hobby now.
(8) Ellis, who told you before you could sell your home you needed to complete the list of 78 improvements on your home. Total cost of improvements $56,000. Home value – $150,000
(9) William Johnson – Realtor for over 20 years and lives here in wonderful San Diego. Caring, experienced and the consummate professional.
(10) Oh, oh, need to cross Don’s name off this list, because we buried him last month.
See, it wasn’t that difficult to select the perfect real estate professional after all.
At the end of your successful real estate home buying or selling experience with #9, you will know how accurate this test was!
Why are you laughing???
P.S. Stop picking different numbers. Just dial (858-487-6975) and ask for William Johnson, author of the Real Estate Text Book with over 20 years of experience. Tell him you took the test, and it told you to call.
*This test is meant for entertainment purposes only! Any names used (other than my own), are either fictional, or have been changed to protect the guilty!

The newly enacted measures call for the following:
Watering of lawns and landscapes throughout the city and its jurisdictions can only be done from 6 p.m. to 10 a.m.
Outside watering ( applicable to residential and commercial properties) can only be done three days per week.
Each property owner must follow the assigned days of week according to the property address. Read the rest of this entry »

Entry Level Housing Conumdrum- How do we fix it?
January 26th, 2008 categories: Buying San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Condominium Guide, San Diego Real Estate, Selling San Diego Real Estate
For the better part of 18 months, the housing market has been suffering through a conundrum that few understand completely and even fewer have an answer for.
Many entry level condominium Sellers have their respective properties on the market and the Buyers have been observing but not doing much with the inventory, save checking on it periodically to see what the prices are doing.
In the lower scale of pricing, many of the available properties are marketed as short sales and REO ( Bank Owned) properties. There are ready buyers for many of these properties but the market circumstances and lender requirements have created road blocks to their being purchased.
Many sellers with few other options, have opted to rent out the properties instead of facing the lower values or the other possibilities of short sales or forclosures. This has knocked down the percentage of owner occupied properties and many of the condominium subdivisions no longer fit with the lenders requirement for conforming loans of 60% owner occupied to qualify for 10% down payments. With that owner occupied qualifier, Buyers need to put down a minimum of 20%. At the entry level most Buyers dont have 20% to put down. So the shortage of qualified subdivisions has actually limited the qualified inventory for new 1st time Buyers. As time passes and more and more property owners find themselves upside down, this quagmire only worsens.
