The Crazy/Loco Real Estate Market Things are crazy, crazy! If you would have told me a year ago that we would be seeing the "bottoming" of the real estate market in our little town of Redding, CA I would have said you're crazy, "muy loco"...but folks, I'm here to tell you we are turning the corner! Remember those days when you'd put up a for sale sign and the phone would ring (a lot) and soon after you'd have multiple offers on the table? Well, that's exactly what's happening today in Redding's Housing Market. Busy buyers out looking in the late dark hours, heavily visited open houses and agents bumping into each other showing the same houses. We haven't seen days like these for the past six years, it's about time!   Supply & Demand (and my guacamole salsa) Remember in school when the t... 03/27/2012

I have a funny story to tell you...and this is the best part of being ME. I may be prejudice about the Art of being ME but I find the part I like best about ME is when I get the "chuckles".

We have a perspective buyer and I put in a call to him to get in touch with me. He got hold of me yesterday and he said "WOW Jeanean that music you have on your phone is really something!" This is one of the little things in life that is fun for me. I have "CallerTunes" on my phone for clients to listen to rather than the sound of a phone ringing. I enjoy changing the tunes and customizing my client's experience. It is just on... 02/21/2012

Redding CA Short Sale Agent - Bank of America Tightens Up Their Short Sale Approvals--I have recently gotten three short sale approvals from Bank of America. The short sales varied on the time tables for getting approval. We got approval on one in 30 days; one in 60 days and one in 120 days. Getting approval depends on many things. We seem to see those owners who have remained currently on their mortgage and negotiated with the bank to do a short sale getting their approvals faster. It is important to be in touch with your lender and to communicate. Your recovery is directly associated with taking responsible action in cooperation with the bank. That net effect will be a less severe hit to your credit and your ability to recover your financial stability.   I currently have clients that ... 02/13/2012

The Pool of Realtors is Getting Smaller - Can You Survive - The Service Wheel of Many Spokes--We recently had an opportunity to become aware of the number of Realtors here in our local area that made their annual dues and are still actively doing real estate. The number has gone from somewhere around 1500 Realtors down to around 475. That is a reduction of 69% of the Realtor base. Given, some have come and gone and we do have new agents but the numbers are sobering for sure. If we examined how these 31% have survived, we don't find anything that surprises. In my local area, it would not be Social Media that is the success factor. I do see other Realtors on Facebook and Twitter. I do see Realtors with good websites that get good SEO and compete with me for the online market. You do have ... 02/10/2012
