If you are planning to sell your home within the next 3, 6, or 12 months (or even years from now), it is never to soon to know the market value of your home in Santa Clarita.

    The Rise of the Mortgage 'Walkers'

    Click for WSJ Article

     
    Do you want to become your neighborhood's real estate expert? I can help you do just that. Send an email to me with your address and/or the tract name that interests you, and I will set up an automatic emailing that will send you information about new listings on the market, any price changes, and the sold price when they close escrow. Of course you will have to be in our SoCal MLS market area, but that is a huge area. Send an email and we will set it up!

    For those just visiting this site for the first time and considering a move to our little corner of the world, let me be the first to welcome you to the Santa Clarita area! Money Magazine /CNN has named Santa Clarita as the best place to live in California, and given all the really nice places in the Golden State, that is quite an achievement! I grew up in the SCV and have many years of full-time real estate experience here, so you would have a tough time finding a better guide as you consider a home purchase in the Santa Clarita Valley area. Give me a call when you are ready so that we can get started!


    How about this housing market?  I believe it's always a great housing market, but not for everyone at the same time! Whether you are a buyer or seller, and depending on your own particular circumstances, it can be a great time for you to make your move!  Whatever the market and your situation, we start from where we are.

    Already live in a home you love, but you are in one of those option ARM loans or other exotic loans, and plan to stay in your home for a while? Check your loan terms and understand what the worst case scenario is, and think about interest rates being there in two years. Will you be able to handle it? If not, either re-finance into a fixed rate, or get your home sold now... later may cost you money. Call us for a team analysis of your particular situation.

    For more of my commentary on the market take a look at The SCV Home Team Blog.

    Tired of cookie-cutter Realtors?
    Are you ready for a change?? While we are already working with some great people, there's always room for new clients! Call or email me and let's get started!

    Experience and Service are the differences you will notice first!  Take a look at
    Our Commitment to You and How We Work and other features connected to this website. We really do provide a vastly different level of service than you may have had, and treat our clients with the respect that they deserve. Our motto is Integrity. Experience. Service. Respect. Results. for one reason... It's all about you and doing the best job possible to help you achieve your real estate goals and dreams.

    Finally, I want to say thank you to all of my clients, past, present and future. You know who you are! It is a real honor to work with you to help you achieve your real estate goals and dreams, whatever they are! While it isn't always easy and sometimes not that much fun (remember the pages and pages of paperwork?), I appreciate your good humor and patience through the process. Hey, if it was easy and always fun, everyone would be doing it all the time! Oh yeah, that was the market a few years ago...
