In looking for a Financial Planner in Upland, first we need to consider what it means to have someone that can help you to create a diversified financial plan. What does it mean to have a diversified financial plan? We hear all the time from Mutual Fund Managers  and investment Advisors that all we need to do for the proper financial plan is to have a proper allocation of funds, stocks, and cash, and we'll be ok. Is that really the whole truth? The reality is that our financial web is interconnected and one part affects the rest. In Upland, as with all of Southern California, our mortgages affect our Retirement, and our Retirement affects how we will fund our life insurance policy. One thing affects the other. We cannot think of our individual decisions as islands all to themselves.  Pr... 03/14/2012

Clients looking for a smart, hardworking financial planner in Upland will find him right here.  I thought my Realtor associates were clever with their marketing and branding, but this is the best business card I’ve seen!I met Josiah Salser because he was doing some research on Reverse Mortgages in order to help guide his clients on the mortgage structuring part of their financial picture.  He found me through my AR “Outside Blog” and also on LinkedIn. Being the proactive sort of guy that he is, he contaced me through LinkedIn, and we wound up setting up a face to face meeting at a local Starbucks.  When I asked for his business card he handed me this: It looks just like a miniature manila file folder and I thought it was brilliant!  We spent the better part of two hours discussing multi... 03/12/2012

Upland Real Estate The Upland real estate market has been extremely volatile in the past few years, from foreclosures, short sales and standard sales as well. But Upland real estate transactions are still happening in spite of the market crash and tough market conditions. While it is true that many unfortunate Upland homeowners are losing their properties to foreclosure, foreclosing banks and lenders are not in any hurry to list their Upland foreclosed assets for sale. Banks have slowed the resale of their Upland foreclosures to a trickle to keep the real estate marketplace competitive for buyers and to not flood the supply. It is a great time to buy Upland real estate if you have the resources to do so, but there are many buyers and investors buying foreclosures. These conditions make... 01/08/2012

So, Why Do I Write About Upland or Rancho Cucamonga Real Estate? By Brad Rachielles It may not be clear to all why, and certainly posts about these communities do have a limited audience. Accolades are few and far between, but maybe they have just been missed by the Pulitzer Screening Committee. In my mind, they do serve a purpose for the thousands of residents and would be residents who care about these neighborhoods, cities or areas. In addition to being a self proclaimed ambassador for this area which I love, I understand the numbers in a way that adds an often overlooked understanding of the Upland and Rancho Cucamonga real estate market, and I write about that (the latest Upland numbers). Frequently, there are major changes in the market that affect  my clients, and that gets poste... 12/06/2011
