Younger Self

 

젊은 자체

 

나는 매일 부동산 게임에서 오랜 선수이다, 하지만 내가 여행 한 도로에서 후면보기 거울을보고 너무 많은 시간을 할애하지 시도. 나는 차선에서 내 사업을 유지하려면 너무 바빠(의) 나는 순간에 아래로 달리고있어. 내 어린 자기와 대화를 할 수 있다면이 사람들이 이런 일을 갈거야:

이전 자체: 젊은 자체 안녕하세요, (부동산 버그에 물린 때 이미 4의 어머니로하지만 너무 어리 지 않아요), 의 차의 뜨거운 컵 및을 떠나려고 이런 식의 부동산 경력에 대한 긴 이야기를 공유 할 수 있도록.

부동산 경력은 외부에서 화려한 모양, 당신은 살고 우리가 어떻게 같은 하이 엔드 위치에서 작동 특히. 현실에서, 이 고급 세단에 너무 마을 주변의 공구보다 더 위쪽 및 아래쪽 태평양 연안 고속도로입니다. 이 uplifting 할 수 있습니다; 또한 무릎에 데려 올 수. 내 경험을 바탕으로, 그렇죠 5% 말하자면 돈을 끌어들일 수있는 자석 역할과 95% 노력.

젊은 자체: 난 열심히 일을 무서워하지 않 거든.

이전 자체: 잘 됐네, 그 많으 때문에이 매우 경쟁력있는 비즈니스에서 성공하는 데 필요한.

젊은 자체: 난 삶을 균형을 아주 잘–아이 넷, 큰 집, 가족, 친구–(이전 자체 인터럽트)

이전 자체: 훌륭한, 부동산은 균형을 매우 어려운이기 때문에. 그것은 대부분의 일에 성공적으로 블렌딩에 대한 자세한된다. 작업 시간은 시계의 손을보다가 발생하는 일에 더 따라 달라집니다. Some days you leave early–어떤 일이 늦게 출발. 어떤 이틀 어느 동일하지 않습니다. 각 클라이언트 및 거래는 자신의 독특한 역학을해야합니다, 하고 자신의 에너지. 너의 임무는 성공적으로 가까이에 거래를 가져하기 위해 조합에 장소를 찾는 비밀을 해명하는 것입니다.

젊은 자체: 흥미로운. 난 어쨌든 평범한 일상으로 적합하지 않은 것 같아요.

이전 자체: 오, 당신은 지루하지 않습니다. 당신은 좌절 될 수 있습니다, 도전과 시간에 강조, 하지만 항상 알 수없는 엄청난 요소가 될 것입니다. 일부 에이전트의 경우이시기 또는 위치를 다음 계약이오고부터 알고하지 흥미롭고 모험입니다. 다른 사람들이지지 할 수없는 상황이며, 이러한 에이전트는 군중 속에서 비즈니스를 떠나. 그들은 충분히 빨리 빠져 나갈 수 없다 '. 이 장 강인함을 큰 거래를 필요, 믿음과 최대에 맞는 사람의 자기의 믿음, 표시와 하루를 보낸 후 하루 매년 포기하지.

젊은 자체: 난이 일에 잘 준비라고 생각. 나는 여러 주택을 구입, 판매 한, 나는 전직 교사이고 소비자를 교육하기 위해 최선을 다하겠습니다보다는 뻔뻔 부동산 영업 사원 수.

이전 자체: 이 일을 준비 할 수있는 방법이 없습니다, 아직 본 내가 한 일은 귀하의 전문 지식을 추가합니다. 고등학교 신문에 서면으로 그 년이 쓴 모든 소설 한 후 바람을 작성하고 블로깅이 될 것입니다 광고 문구를 쉽게 만들고 게시하지 않습니다.

젊은 자체: 블로그?

이전 자체: 설명 할 시간이 없습니다, 당신은 종료하지 않은 경우 당신은 알게 될거야.

젊은 자체: 나는 겁쟁이가 아니야.

이전 자체: 좋은, 당신의 결정을 번이 심문 할 때 때문에.

이제 다시 당신이 한 일과 생각을 다시하지 않을거야. 앨범 직원, 광고를 모델링 및 제작? 이러한 과거의 경험은 쉽게 광고 레이아웃으로 변환, 그리고 예, 당신이 YouTube에서 동영상을 게시 될 것입니다–(어린 자기 인터럽트)

젊은 자체: 무엇을?

이전 자체: 괜찮아요, 당신은 알아낼거야. 그러므로 가장 좋은 측면을 기억하고 가까이 준비 일어나. 오, 그 통계 수업을 기억하면 학교에 들고 있는지 궁금 그리고 당신은 그것을 사용할 때? 더 이상 궁금하지.

젊은 자체: 이 내 생각보다 더 세게 울리고. 아마 내가 준비가 안 됐어요. 좀 더 수업을해야? 아마 부동산에서 내 MBA를?

이전 자체: 당신은 교실에서 부동산을 배울 수. 그것은 단순히 가르 칠 수는 없어. 그것은 참호에서 배운거야, 분야에서 경험과의 발에. 거기 나가 그것을해야! 당신은 그것을 원해야, 열심히하고 여행을 즐길 수. 그런 다음에야 그것들은 가치가있을 것입니다.

당신은 큰 모험을 위해에 있어요!

끝으로, 젊은 엄마와 초등학교 교사로 일을 다시 생각. 아이들은 모험심과과 두려움없이 매일 인사. 그 말은 당신이 부동산 투자 매일 처리 할 수​​있는 경력이 다릅니다.

We’ve had some good times together, 우리가 헤어져야뿐만 시간이왔다. 당신은에 이동됩니다 그리고 난 뒤에있을 게요. 예, 그건 사실이에요, 당신은 날 능가했습니다. Before you walk away, here are a few hints to make our parting filled with more sweet than sorrow:

 

1. Garage sale, Goodwill or Simply Give Stuff Away: I don’t want to look like I’m bursting the seams of every room, closet and drawer. So please help me lighten the load, look sleeker and more spacious by keeping only what fits. Once that excess baggage is gone you’ll be surprised at how roomy I can still look.

2. Cover the Walls (and scuff marks, crayon marks and fingerprints) with a Fresh Coat of Paint: Paint is to walls as Botox is to wrinkles. There’s nothing like fresh paint for an instant lift. Dollar for dollar it is one of the best pre-sale investments you can make. Go neutral but not boring. Think taupe, vanilla or milky white shades of paint. Every room does not have to be stark white. Show off my best architectural features with a shade lighter or darker in the same color family. After the painting is finished scrub, polish and shine the rest of the house. You may be surprised to discover your old house can still turn more than a few heads.

3. Now Don’t Get Emotional, You Want Someone Else to Fall in Love with Me: I know I’m looking so good you are having second thoughts about leaving, but you know in your heart we are no longer right for each other. I appreciate your help in making me as attractive as possible for my next owner, but I know it serves you well too. Your extra efforts will put more cash in your pocket at the closing table. A house with curb appeal and interior pzazz will often sell sooner, and for more money, than a neglectedas iswallflower. You did the right thing and can leave with your head held high, plus the extra cash will come in handy when it’s time to dress up your new place.

4. Deferred Maintenance Will Get You One Way or Another: Fix it now, or pay later either with a cash credit or repairs prior to the close of escrow. My roof is patched and showing its age and yes, those leaky faucets are still dripping away. I’ll show and sell so much better with those problems gone.

좋아요, I see that admiring look in your eyes, you’re pretty pleased with my results aren’t you?

Together we were quite a team, and moving forward will be so much easier with a little effort before the “매매” sign goes in the ground. Let’s part on the best of terms.

Ignition of match, with smoke on black

 

I am one of several hundred real estate agents and brokers engaged in the art (아니면 전쟁을 말한다) 왔어요 Verdes 반도에 부동산을 판매. Add a thousand or so more South Bay and Beach Cities agents and we are all ready to write an offer with a tap on the iPad, seal it with an electronic signature and send it on its merry way to find its place amid a pile of similar offers on the same property. Multiple offers are the norm, not the exception these days.

예, it’s a battle zone out there and both buyers and agents are bruised, battered and beleaguered by current market conditions. Meanwhile, sellers are once again sleeping well while visions of new-found equity dance in their heads. I’ve not yet heard Marie Antoinette’s famous line of, “Let them eat cake,” but there is certainly no rush to market to satiate the intense buyer hunger enveloping the nation.

Perhaps the buyer for your home is one of the buyers in my pack of prospective would-be Palos Verdes, or other cities, buyers if only they could find a home. I’ll only mention those from my list that are so hot to buy the flame is visible in their eyes:

1) Family of four living in temporary quarters and scanning new listings daily. What their hearts desire: 4-침실, pool and a yard for kids. 지역: Palos Verdes

2) Ocean view property with yard and remodeled for busy executive relocating to Palos Verdes.

3) Beach cottage or townhouse in Manhattan Beachformer chef wants a great kitchen.

4) Cash buyer wants ocean view in Rancho Palos Verdes or South Shores.

5) South Bay income property wanted yesterday by several investors.

6) Oceanfront property, or very close, with open floor plan.

I could go on, but if I have this many “뜨거운” 구매자, I’m certain most other active agents have an equal or greater number. 지난 주 노마 Toering & Team added four new qualified and ready to buy customers to our active list. I only wish we had four new listings to show to each of them.

셀러, maybe it’s time to wake up from the long rest the market took during the recession and open your front door to waiting buyers. More than likely there are multiple buyers waiting to purchase your home too.

3 미친 시장에서 차가운 유지에 비밀

Running in circles and still can’t find a home?


This week Norma Toering & Team once again found ourselves in a real estate feeding frenzy when a new listing hit the market. The early signs were evident with agents jockeying for parking spaces at the broker open house tour. I arrived with a client in tow and was back later the same day with the rest of the family. Everything about the property was perfect for them except the number of others buyers obviously having the same thoughts dancing in their heads.

Competition is good for the market and reflects capitalism at work. 그러나, when eight buyers write offers on the same property it is obvious the supply and demand is out of balance. When choices are limited the scarcity fear factor rears its head and makes sensible people overbid, remove protective contingencies from the contract and throw budgets and caution to the wind.

Calm down. Gather your wits and patience and remove yourself from the fray unless you are absolutely positive your life will not be worth living unless you win the bidding war at any cost. Sacrifices are sometimes worthwhile if it’s “한” but if it’s not, know there will be a trickle of new listings added to the inventory each day.

1) Track inventory daily and shop 5% 에 10% below your top price. This will leave a comfort zone if the property receives multiple offers and bids over the asking price.

2) Write a clean offer leaving no question unanswered. Loan pre-approval, proof of down payment and sufficient funds to close escrow should accompany your offer. Do not give the seller and his agent a reason to toss your offer in the rejected pile.

3) Expand your options. Do you really need 4 bedrooms or will 3 suffice? Is there another neighborhood, home style or location you can add to your search? Review your criteria and see where you can tweak it to increase the number of homes available.

It takes sellers longer than buyers to react to a change in the market. Buyers can enter the market immediately. Sellers must prepare their property for sale (this can often take weeks if not months), make life decisions about where they will move as well as consider financial ramifications of the sale.

Inhale, exhale. Your future home may be receiving a fresh coat of paint and a landscaping facelift along with being staged for a successful sale. Patience is definitely a virtue in this market.

Point Vicente Lighthouse in Rancho Palos Verdes

Point Vicente Lighthouse in Rancho Palos Verdes

I’m not surprised there is a lighthouse located along the Palos Verdes coastline. It is notoriously rocky and I’m sure mariners appreciate the extra light as they navigate their way along the rocky coast. I am not often out on the water, but I do appreciate the coastal flavor it adds when I zip up and down Palos Verdes Drive South and Palos Verdes Drive West in Rancho Palos Verdes.

Point Vicente Lighthouse was manned until automated equipment was added in 1971. On November 17, 1979 Point Vicente Lighthouse was added to the National Registry of Historic Sites. Isn’t it nice to have a little piece of national history perched on the Palos Verdes bluffs above the Pacific Ocean?

The Sounds of Palos Verdes

One of the greatest pleasures of living the coastal lifestyle in Palos Verdes is the close proximity to the ocean. 예, I was out walking on the beach on New Year’s Day.

 

The sun was shining but I must admit I was bundled up in a light jacket as it was only 53 도–pretty nippy for Southern California. I know all you snowbirds have no sympathy for me

 

I hope 2013 will be a wonderful year for you. May it bring you good health, prosperity and much joy. If your 2013 plans include changes to your real estate holdings, 노마 Toering & Team are here to help you realize your goals.

Palos Verdes Beaches

 

왔어요 Verdes, 파리?

11월 1, 2012 요원의 목숨, 영감, Palos Verdes

Paris is lovely, but I miss the California sunshine!

My body clock did not want to leave Paris. After ten days back in the USA, I still wake up at odd hours with thoughts of Paris. 오, how I do enjoy the lingering after effects of a fabulous vacation.

I observed Parisians walk faster and more frequently than Palos Verdesians (예, I coined a new word). They linger longer over meals, and American fast food is, thankfully, hard to find. Their public transportation is fabulous; Los Angeles is in the dark ages by comparison. Their cars and bodies are smaller than the average American’s.

예, I still miss Paris, but there’s something about Palos Verdes I always love to return tothe weather is unbelievable. It’s November 1 and I have not touched the climate control switch since I returnedno heat or air conditioning needed. Weather is a daily thing requiring various equipment in many climates, but Mother Nature lets us keep it simple in Palos Verdes.

I never left my hotel room in Paris without an umbrella. In Palos Verdes I keep one in the trunk of my car and rarely use it. In Paris I was always fiddling with the thermostat to adjust the heat. I needed a hat and gloves in Paris. It’s a rare day in Palos Verdes when I need more than a jacket to chase away the coastal chill.

사실이야, we can’t compare to Paris when it comes to architecture, museums and food, but give me the beauty of coastal California, our glorious weather and I’ll remain content to visit Paris but live on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

I’ll be out trick or treating with my grandchildren Halloween night. The weather promises to be balmy unlike the perfect storm brewing on the east coast.

Last year’s lovely little pumpkin faces carved by my grandchildren.

 

My daughter’s neighborhood attracts kids from all over the South Baythe streets are flat and the homes fairly close together so little children can collect quite a stash without too much effort. It’s a family affair as there are as many adults on the streets as children. One might refer to it as a neighborhood meet and greet affair.

 

Whether or not you’re up to treats or tricks this Halloween watch out for children in costumes and drive with care.
