Dream Homes of Orange County

<body text="white" link="white" vlink="#d3c3c3" alink="maroon" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0" bgcolor="black"> Shopping on the internet for a home? This site is updated every hour directly from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which is by far, the most complete home buying resource. You can click on HOT PROPERTIES to search using your criteria. Here you can sign up for free daily e-mails of properties that match your search. Each property has photos, maps, mortgage calculators, school information, and a few have additional features such as virtual tours. House Hunting? We've all seen the TV shows, where buyers have to decide between three homes in about 24 hours. Of course is not reality. Most people need more choices and more time to discover a new house they're going to be proud to call home. That's suits me. I have a strong customer service ethic and my clients are spoiled by the 24/7 service that I provide. You will be amazed at my quick, thoughtful responses to your questions. I will devote my full attention to your needs, whether it involves: evaluating community facilities, such as schools, hospitals, and churches; introducing your family to local hang-outs; or the marketing of your present residence. How can you snag that dream home? Any broker can provide the basics to successfully complete a property purchase. Of course, this is part of our job, to make sure that all the i s are dotted and the t s are crossed. In my experience, many deals collapse because of poor follow-through by one or more individuals. I believe it is my duty to monitor, inspire, and motivate every person involved in each transaction, including other brokers, so that they act and react in a timely manner. Establishing the highest priority for the properties on your short list and maintaining that intensity, is the key to the successful conclusion of every sale. Buying a new home? I can save you time and money by representing you during the purchase of a new home, too, in negotiating the agreement with the builder. Evaluating new homes may require a review of local facilities, deciding on trim colors and masonry options, landscape choices, etc. For example, click here to review the color selector I created for my customer on the new 5,000 sq. ft golf course home being built for them. What about internet marketing? More and more homes are being sold via the internet than ever before. How do you stand out from all the other homes? Of course, like almost any broker, I can provide a full listing presentation to explain the process and the services available. I can supply a free Certified Market Analysis of your home and provide free updates of homes in your area as they are listed and sold. If you have time, check out the YOUR HOME area of my site. It contains hundreds of articles on buying, selling, and investing in Real Estate. What else can I do? I specialize in the marketing of fine residences and offer a unique package of benefits from my years of experience running an advertising firm. I develop a custom marketing package for each listing, going beyond basic multi-listing to include: Custom websites and e-mailed newsletter for each residence Professional copywriting to highlight each property s exceptional features Professional quality photography and virtual tours Custom brochures and event mailings - not your typical real estate flyers Prominent weekly newspaper and magazine advertising of your home and open houses as often as is convenient for your family s schedule Creativity in preparing and staging your home for successful open house previews Out of the box ideas to attract and impress qualified buyers Timely and frequent communications about activity concerning your property How are potential sales lost? Any broker can provide the basics to successfully complete a property purchase. Of course, this is part of our job, to make sure that all the i s are dotted and the t s are crossed. In my experience, many deals collapse because of poor follow-through by one or more individuals. I believe it is my duty to monitor, inspire, and motivate every person involved in each transaction, including other brokers, so that they act and react in a timely manner. Establishing the highest priority for your property and maintaining that intensity, is the key to the successful conclusion of every sale. How much is my home worth today? There are lots of internet sites that can provide an idea of your home's current value. Unfortunately, their values vary by as much as 25% from one to another. The best answer is to ask me for a free professional Certified Market Analysis of your home. I will be seeking the highest possible market value for your home based upon the prevailing conditions in the real estate market. Obviously, the higher the listed price, the longer the home will take to sell. See my How quickly will it sell page for more details. Since we have the services of Villa Park Financial in-house, we can also provide full Appraisals at a discount rate. How do I increase the selling price? I can help to give your home the "WOW" factor with buyers using various levels of professional staging, simple landscaping ideas, and basic upgrades that will widen your home's appeal. If you have time, you can also check out the Your home area of my site. It contains hundreds of articles on buying, selling, and investing in Real Estate. There are some great books on the subject, too. One of the best is "Ready, Set, Sold!: Make $10,000 to $100,000 MORE When You Sell Your Home!" by Michael Corbett. What is staging? Staging is the very best proven way to get top dollar for your home as you prepare it for sale. Homes that are staged sell faster and for more money! This is because staging sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in your property. This will then lead to your home selling for the highest possible price in today's market. The way you live in your home will probably not be the same as your potential buyers. There are several levels of staging that may be used to increase the profits from your sale. As part of your listing services, we can provide many complimentary services, such as: advice about which furniture and accessories should be removed or re-positioned; provide temporary furniture and accessories to accent those areas, such as kitchen, master bath, dining room, fireplace, etc. that most buyers will be focusing on; recommend and supervise local contractors for any work that needs to be performed. What else can you do? A thorough cleaning and a major clean-up of the grounds is always beneficial. The front yard and entrance is especially important. Consider installing some new lawn and colorful ornamental shrubs. Damaged flooring and tile, window coverings, counter tops, and plumbing fixtures should be cleaned, coated, repaired, or replaced, as appropriate. Your creative paint or wall treatments may not suit the average buyer. In general, soothing warm and bright freshly pained walls provide the most effective ambience for maximizing your home's appeal. If needed, we can hire accredited professional stagers, however, they charge substantial commissions and/or flat fees, depending upon the level of work required, that can eat into your potential additional profits. Highlights of professional staging techniques: Building "emotional connection points" in each room Reading a home's personality and working with it Creating warmth NOT sterility Focal Points, Lighting, Calling, Balance, Scale, and Flow Villa Park Financial Buyers are pre-qualified through our inhouse lenders, Villa Park Financial. We also have a wide range of outside lenders and loan brokers that work closely with our office, who can customize a financing plan for your property. These alternatives will be presented in your home and the various loan amounts, rates, terms, etc. will be explained in detail. We can save you money on your loan because our business is selling homes not selling loans. We do not charge points on our loans and have very low fees. Typically, these are: $500 for processing $20 for credit report $375 for appraisal We are committed to finding you the lowest available rate and a program that fits your income and life style. Call us today for the lowest rates in the industry! Villa Park Financial Contacts: Call Rob Jansen or Ron Accornero at 714-771-3222 Virtual home tours go beyond mere photography and are an extremely effective way to make your listing stand out. While these are commonly found only on very high-end listings, I provide this feature on every lsting at no cost to you. Here is a sample of what I can do to promote your property. <table width=500 border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing=0> <tr height="30"> <td class="MainHdr3" colspan="2" width="502" height="30"
