Santa Clarita Real Estate and Homes - Expert Short Sales Negotiation - Foreclosure Resources - Buyer Representation

I love the word Cutting Edge - With the PD - we might not have had the most up to date equipment - but our methods of operation, as they related to Firearms and Tactics, were the best and most updated.  The Reason was because we never knew what we would encounter.  To keep ourselves safe and out of harms way - that is probably the best reasoning.

The same should apply to the largest Investment of your lives - Your home!!!

SME's - Subject Matter Experts in Valencia Real Estate is a necessary step if you are thinking of buying or selling in the city of Valencia which is within the Santa Clarita Valley.

We have done just that - with the most recent listings for sale in Valencia CA - Posted and updated on a moment by moment basis.

If you are thinking of having a Custom Search developed for you with all of the Newest Listings, Bedrooms, bathrooms, lot sizes, condo's - Townhomes - Single Family Residences - Etc. you can have that conducted here.

With regard to Real Estate in the Santa Clarita Valley - We wish to advise you that our blogs and other information is not for the faint of heart.  With us being very comfortable being questioned by all types of Law Enforcement, when it comes to those that don't ask any questions and take out word for everything Real Estate as Gospel - I cannot help to want to ask the Client if they have any questions and prod them into asking.

Don't take it for granted that the person you are hiring has your best interest at heart.  If you are signing disclosures, contracts, or other documents that are outside of the "regular" CAR (real estate) forms, you need to get a second opinion.

When you are signing secrecy documents, threatening lawsuits if you divulge the "agents" secret method of operation, or are signing documents with a ton of ************* exclusions, exceptions, and other items that might include becoming a registered voter or organ donor - GET A SECOND opinion!!!!

The most recent Blog Posts can be found here:  With our Google Reader membership and sharing of our Paris911 account obtaining membership hand over fist - You may want to read this and join.

If you are thinking about having a Short Sale negotiated - you will want to make sure those you hire do a deep title search so a Lien will not hold up the process when an approval is achieved.

Just posted at our Santa Clarita Real Estate Blog - Four new listings came onto the market for sale in the last 10 hours.

We have had more activity in Real Estate during the time called "Black Friday".  Much more than expected in a time when Turkey and Thanks is on our minds.

An example of our Feed and what it means to you!

I was attempting to relay a, "Once upon a time" story, but I think it more appropriate to start at the beginning with the text message that spun Paris and I into a spiral of deep conscious thought.

We had sold a nice couples home and are waiting for a home to come onto the market in Southern California that is in a specific area.  There might be 80 homes total and with the restriction of Foreclosure Releases and the home values down, it has been quite difficult to get anything available to write on.

Receiving a Text Message asking, "Connor, did we sign a Buyer Broker agreement with you?" - "I don't have all of the answers right now, but I wanted to know."

That is when the spinning started and so did the questions to myself and Paris.  What was happening and what would be the reasons to ask such a question?

As the curtain comes up 1/4 way - we see a bit more of the Wizard.  This "Wizard" is quite dark, not in complexion but in heart.

The story unfolds as follows:  A Friend of our Clients a Part time agent/lender, work associate, etc - approached him at work, our client by the way does not have a Buyer Broker agreement (we are not for pushing those - we explain that we are about loyalty and how important it is to have your own representative so as not to be thrown under the bus), knowing that he wants to buy in a specific area and with a specific home profile - stated that he knows of an agent that has a "secret" listing in the very area with the profile that they want.

He further stated that this agent, his friend, knows of a couple that is going through a nasty divorce and they just want the home sold as a short sale.  If he uses this Lender/Agents Friend (the other agent) - they he might be able to get the home for sure.

The other agent called our client and explained the same scenario with a couple of different twists - They don't want the home on the market or MLS - they don't want the home to appear on the "radar" and they want it done quickly as a short sale without any problems. 

So I explained a few things.  Even if they want the home to be sold at a short sale - there is no reason whatsoever that they cannot have their own representation and our client have us.  Also - if this guy is such a good friend, he should know that, unless there is something in it for him.

I also mentioned the fact there are rules regarding having a listing contract within the California Association of Realtor's - this listing needs to appear in the MLS within 48 hours, or appear as an "exclusive" listing within that same time frame.

Another thing that I spoke about had to do with this "friend" wanting to throw our client under the bus without any forethought - and I also opened our client's eyes to understand that once Paris or I find out someone has an agent that they have been working with - they are not available for solicitation.  Furthermore, I would never ask if there is a "buyer broker agreement" because that is to me unethical, because the road after that question is dark indeed.

As the story continues to unfold - there are several issues that I can see and I would appreciate any of my Active Rain Friends Input to make sure I am covering all of the bases.

• I am wondering if this agent does not have the listing as of yet and is going to use our client as the sacrificial lamb to take to the owners in order to show "hey I have a buyer, I was not lying, give me the listing"
• Also - It has been my experience that the Banks will identify that there is only one agent on the listing and buyer side - only paying half of the total commission.  Unless this other character is going to do some of the writing?

It saddens me that others would take this road - which we would never ever consider embarking on this type of journey, even in this hard market. 

Karma, or whatever you believe in, is quite a powerful thing.  If you take 100 dollars from someone, it might not be loss of money you get hit with - usually I find it is much worse and from somewhere you did not expect.

Please advise Active Rain and Thanks ahead of time for your comments.

How much are homes in Valencia California and is there Golf?  

Two very good questions.  I have golfed before - but was not very good at keeping score! - but it does have it's advantages with regard to networking.

Valencia California within the Santa Clarita Valley is surrounded by a few.  Robinson Ranch, Tournament Players Club and the Valencia Country Club, there are others - but they are all very pretty and from the Golfers I have spoken with - they are FANTASTIC places for Golf.

Worth traveling - why not see if a Relocation to Valencia California is in order for you and your family - we have some of the best schools in southern California, shopping and eateries.

Making Real Estate Searches Easy - that is our Board of Realtors.  The Southland Regional Association of Realtors.  They have a couple of Head Quarters - one in the San Fernando Valley and the other is in the Santa Clarita Valley.

By conducting a specific search by region.  I have been able to populate the RSS feed below with every single listing that is for sale and on the market in Westridge.  Westridge is located just north of Stevenson Ranch in the city of Valencia California.

Located within the Tournament Players Club Golf Course (The TPC), it is a beautiful and upscale Valencia CA community.

Large house needs fixing... shows a bit cluttered - subject to a short-sale - however, two loans with same bank and have a negotiator already assigned, so we're moving along. Situated on a nice-sized lot, it offers a lovely view from the grassy backyard. Spacious family room converted into a bonus room - in order to rent out and earn extra income- but can be taken out without a problem.

The Homes and Real Estate run the gammet from Apartment buildings all the way to Estate Homes that are located on the TPC golf course, Tournament Players Club - this is where I posted a link to everything available for sale in the Westridge Area of Valencia California 05/04-2009.

The area is beautiful and newer for the Santa Clarita Valley.  On a case by case basis you will want to have your representative check the Assesments on these properties.  Some have them and some do not.  If you don't have a representative that can run interference for you and provide some Quality Representation - they call us on the Paris911 Team at RE/MAX of Valencia - Connor and Paris MacIVOR is who we are and Real Estate in Southern California is what we do. 

VOIP - 888-SKYPE80

We also handle Relocations from anywhere to the City of Santa Clarita and the rest of southern California.

Another custom Real Estate Search portal that has just been put together by Re/MAX of Valencia's Paris911 Team.

This one is Custom for the Westridge community that is located just west of the 5 freeway close to the intersections of The Old Road and Valencia Blvd in Southern California.

I have incorporated the search on our Santa Clarita Real Estate Blog site, where I have included a link that will reflect every single home for sale in the Westridge area of Valencia California.  On this portal, or website, you will see every property for sale no matter what disposition with regard to any distressed factors.  Everything is active and will include Regular Sales, foreclosures, Bank Owned REO's, and Short Sales.  Corporate Re-locations will also be included as part of my original search criteria.

Westridge is a newer community in Valencia and has a local school, with close proximity to shopping, schools and fine dining.  There are apartments that are available, to Town-homes - attached homes - to Single Family Residences and Estate Homes.

I can set up a custom search like the one below for any area in Southern California - All I need from you is an e-mail at remax@paris911.com and if you are a more direct type, then call me at 877-977-REMAX(7362) and I will set up your custom and of course FREE Search for any Real Estate type of Structure in a price range you want.

The Paris911 Team at RE/MAX of Valencia can be Reached at remax@paris911.comand Toll Free at 877-977-REMAX(7362) - BTW, this toll free number comes directly to me and not to some call database or some virtual secretary.  I am Connor with HONOR!

irst off - Town-homes in Valencia California?  Yes we have those too.  We have received a lot of calls regarding our Country-wide relocation site and I wish to thank our subscribers very much for that.  

Condo/Town-home - differences?  In Southern California, which is of course different from other parts of the world, carry the following "agent understood" descriptions he two.

1. Condo:  Single Story - apartment style
2. Town-home:  More than 1 level.

Dont' forget our Market Snapshot Resources - Real Estate Value from the Source - the Local Multiple Listing Service.

Valencia is one of the several cities that are located within the Santa Clarita Valley - We are located on the rim of Los Angeles and just minutes away from the Los Angeles City Limits.  We have a few really nice "professional and private" golf courses.

We also have 5 star hotels and resturants that are in the mainstream, but some that are locally owned and have eats that are beyond good with ambiance to boot.

Our Public School system is top rated and the community itself is very safe.  Super Safe because a huge amount of the residents are Police, Sheriff's, Federal Agents, Fire Department ...  The list goes on and on.  

Ever watchful and careful to make sure their families are safe, which includes yours.

If you are wanting to Relocate to Valencia California or Search for Real Estate to ascertain whether or not it is a good fit all you have to do is pull upon some of the REMAX of Valencia - Paris911 Resources which are located on our Main Site.

The history behind our Team has to do with our forming in the 1990's as the result of Paris and I being taken advantage by an Real Estate Agent.  That was the nexus to us becoming licensed Realtors and history was made.

Our protective shield is beyond the competition and we offer something so completely different in the way we watch your "assets" that I don't even consider ourselves to be competing with anyone.  They have their ways and we have ours!  

If you want to see what "our" ways could mean to you - go to (877)977-REMAX on your phone and speak with me.  If I am with clients - I won't pick up the phone, I will also pay you that respect when we connect.  But If you are directed to leave a Message - then do so and trust I will be calling you back at my next available moment.

I have been asking myself the question whether or not Social Networks like FaceBook are enough, or are there reasons to develop others at a much smaller scale - like in a particular city?

I am not sure what a person's motivation is by joining a social network, is it for a feeling of acceptance?  Is it for the Money?  Connecting to old friends?  To Stalk past ones? (that was a joke - but seems to be a true-ism if you see some of the social network horror stories)

We live in Valencia CA.  So on FaceBook, we can connect, but should there be something else that will include a personal contact component in the mix?  In Valencia California, there is a lot to do socially.  Maybe a network that starts on line and then develops into meeting as groups to take over restaurants, movie premier's, or huge pot luck events at some of the local parks.

Could be fun and it would get people out from benind their boxes and out in the "real world".  It is very hard to shake hands through a computer screen!

Meeting with Friends at Kabuki in Bridgeport - Valencia CA., is Always Fun...

We were with a Lender, LAFD Firefighter, Our buyers Agent and of course, yours truly.  I had Cold Saki for the first time, and it was sweet, unlike the HOT variety.

Dinner was fun and we caught up and were also able to wish Happy Birthday and Thanks to our Buyers Agent - David Lavitt.  Whom you can reach at http://David911.com.

He is an awesome person and a true asset to our Real Estate Team which operates with Buyers and Sellers in Southern California - Headquartered in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Here is to you David Lavitt - You are GREAT at what you do!

I did a huge explanatory post on the short sale process and requirements, rules and how The Paris911 Team at REMAX of Valencia have been successful in their negotiation and performance.

One thing is for certain and needs to be reiterated here on Active Rain - We do not charge up front or the "Human Seller" for any part of the short sale process - even it it does not work out and if their Bank refuses to let the process go through.

The Seller (non-human Bank) pays the fee for which we negotiate. (period folks)  Even if they whittle that down to nothing - we still perform and get it done for our clients. (only happened once - but that is the way it goes).  The more important thing is you getting done what you want with regard to your Short Sale.

So, don't get distracted by the fast talking, smooth presentations, and fake promises.  Go and sit with the agent you are interviewing, don't do anything over the phone, sit in front of them in their office and find out if you like them and if what they are telling you makes sense.

Our Short Sale negotiation works because we do not cut corners, are consistent and persistent with the banks, and keep our clients informed.  Without those elements - short sales do not work and the properties go Foreclosure without any "at bats".

What options do you have?  Where do you go?  What are your guarantee's that the information that you are getting on the "box" is correct, updated and accurate?

A little about Real Estate Listings - In Southern California - there are more than a dozen Boards of Realtors - each boards governs their members and to list and sell real estate you need to be several things:

• A Licensed Agent (passing the state Real Estate exam paves this path)
• A Member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR)
• A Member of the California Association of Realtors (CAR)
• A Member of your local Board of Realtors
• You must be Bald

What do you mean you have not contacted a Relocation Specialist with regard to your move to Valencia CA?

Well if you are reading this post - you just have.

We specialize in Relocating to Valencia CA - you will be surprised on how far we can carry the ball.  If you are just starting to think about coming to Southern California and have not considered the implications of needing to sell your home where you currently are - getting the kids placed - finding other types of necessary outlets locally - then just call us at REMAX and The Paris911 Team and let us run the entire show for you.

We will find you a qualified agent where ever you are in the World.  We will have them sell your home - we will make sure they are under referral contract with us and cinch up the loose ends.  We will get you into touch with movers and do some hunting locally out here for a home.  

Magically getting everything to close on time.

Awesome, and very difficult - that is why you need an expert or a TEAM of experts on  your side - We are a TEAM and you will be well covered..  Check out our Relocation Resource and there is a reason I am number 1 for Valencia California on Active Rain.

Located in the Montevista Tract of Valencia CA - we have just secured a Bank Owned property that will be on the market in less than 30 days, depending on the back log at one of the Banks that utilize us to sell their assets.

During the interium, we are working on the sales clean and lawn care of this home.  It has a larger than normal back yard for these Tract Homes and mature tree's. 

In the Montevista Tract in Valencia - these single family residences are two story and most are inside of Clusters.  4 homes each.  This is the type, if you are familiar, that is nestled to the right side of the cluster with a attached garage with parking space in front of the garage door adequate enough for two small vehicles.

Call me for Details and the Address 877-977-REMAX(7362).
