Description

I offer the highest quality of service to my clients. When you decide to purchase a home and become my client you learn how to become 100% prepared in today's quick turnaroud market to move on a property, usually before others are even aware it is on the market. It is very important to be represented by someone whom you can trust and someone who you can comfortably work with. Buying your home is one of the most important purchases you will make, and having the right agent who can provide you with the experience and the service you deserve will make that easy. When you understand current market conditions, you are better able to position yourself as a Buyer. It helps to know if you are in a Seller's, Buyer's or Balanced market when setting your offering price. The conditions now are such that we are in a Seller's market and there is a lot more competition and Seller's have plenty of choices and room to negotiate, forcing you to be very competitive when setting your price. I am an expert negotiator and even in this extremely tough “sellers market“ I can usually get close to the price that you want to pay. You may have read lately that “Housing Affordability“ has decreased and that only 19% of the persons in Los Angeles county are able to afford a home but in the High Desert areas 41% can afford a home. These figures do not tell the whole story. If $94,730 was truly the income required to buy a home in Los Angeles county it indeed would be a limited few who could ever dream of home ownership. I work with and know about many different mortage and lending programs that ease the way into home ownership. My recommendations usually will save you hundreds of dollars up front and many thousands over the life of your loan. There are special programs for Union members, Teachers, Peace Officers, etc. and knowing which one best suits the client is something that I keep up with. Latest News! Report: U.S. Rentals Unaffordable to Poor (December 20, 2004) -- Working households need to make a minimum of $15.37 per hour to afford the average one- or two-bedroom rental apartment and the utility costs associated with it, the National Low Income Housing Coalition calculates. The coalition cites reports that show rents rising faster than incomes and utility costs climbing faster than rents. Workers in Illinois' Clay, Crawford, and Wayne counties and Florida's Washington County are the only ones in the nation who can afford a one-bedroom apartment while earning the federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour. West Virginia came in as the most affordable state, where workers need only $9.31 per hour to afford a two-bedroom rental compared to $21.24 per hour in California, which was the least affordable destination.
