The Difference Is In The Value!
My goal is to help my clients maximize the value in their Real Estate experience. Itīs one thing to buy a home; itīs something else to buy one that will continue to build wealth both while you are in the home and up to when it is time to sell.
"Why is it important to build wealth in our primary residence?"
During the past several years, we have experienced huge increased values in our properties -- in Orange County, as much as 34% per year. For now, times have changed. It has been years since we have seen a Buyers' Market. That time has finally arrived again and I encourage you to take advantage of it! Now is the time to capitalize on lower purchase prices. Not only that, instead of choosing from five available homes in your price range, if you were lucky, now you have an untold number of properties to choose from. Buyers, if you intend to hold on to your properties for some time, it is not necessary for you to buy at the lowest point of the market. Sellers... Don't dismay -- It simply is NOT the Time to SELL (quite yet)! If you can avoid selling; you must. Give me the opportunity to show you how you can buy today, use your equity; and hold on to the property(ies) you already have. Let me show both Buyers and Sellers alike, how to make money in this market!
I work in a round-table format with your financial professionals if you like. If you do not have people working in your behalf that you trust, I have a proven process for selecting professionals I can refer to you. Upon meeting one of my trusted lenders, Kathy Clark wrote: "It was great to meet you yesterday. I am sorry we did not have longer to get to know each other. I have never had an agent sit down with me to determine if we are a good match. You have my respect for commiting to that process."

You might ask,
"Why is it important to build wealth while living in the home?"
This is the single most important question I can answer for you. I'll show you how I can help you increase the value of your home while you're living there and put your hard-earned dollars to work for you.
"How do I build value?"
You've heard it before and they were right: Location! Location! Location! Choosing the right location for the purchase of a home can be a daunting task in Southern California especially because it is such a delightful place to live and all of the communities are inviting. When representing Buyers it is important to locate a property that will set itself apart from the rest when it comes time to sell. That might be done by purchasing a property that has a view, is located near the water or mountains, or is in a community with excellent schools. If at all possible financially, locating near the water or in areas that come to people's mind first when they think of Southern California -- communities that are often favorably mentioned in the news and are located near John Wayne Airport; places like Newport Beach known for its proximity to the water, beauty, temperate weather, excellent shopping at Fashion Island and unique eateries or Irvine, seemingly the hub for Orange County with a reputation for fine schools and being recognized as one of the safest cities in America, can protect your investment. Properties in these areas will continue to create value in the mind of the Buyer. Even in a down market a home strategically placed in whichever Southern California community you choose can make a property easier to sell and at a higher sales price. It is my job to assist you in finding the property that makes the most sense for you and will protect you when it is time to sell.
Without a doubt, the most important aspect of home value is purchasing the property in the location that will give you the greatest perceived home value by appraisers and Buyer's alike. The second most important factor is when a Buyer or appraiser walks into a home and they see upgrades or remodeling of kitchens, bathrooms and fireplaces the value of the home increases instantly. Room additions, excellent curb appeal and designing your back yard as an extension of the home for entertaining will far surpass most model homes.

"How do I then access that Equity and put it to work for me?"
Suffice it to say most homeowners refinance their home loan at least once within the first three years of owning the home. This gives you the option to take advantage of the upgrades you may have already performed or to continue to further enhance the home. By continuing to update your home, the value will increase allowing you to take more cash out. This extra cash can be used to pay off accumulated debt, pay for that extravagant trip you always wanted to take, place some money in the bank for a "rainy day" fund, or reinvest into another property where the circle of making money begins again. I can help you learn to live debt free by locating the right home and using the value in your home that will enhance your net worth and still meet your needs.

Education ? The Key to Smart Real Estate
I focus on educating my clients on the fundamentals of buying and selling smart, for example; I train first-time home buyers how to purchase properties that will have higher resale values when it comes time to move later. Then I demonstrate what Iīm talking about as we explore home options that will meet their needs now and in the future. I help more sophisticated buyers and sellers maximize the utilization of funds to build long-term security and wealth.
