New Fannie Mae Limits

January 25, 2008

The new loan limits if put into law by Congress, will increase the limits for a loan from $475,000.00 t0 $625,000.00.  For Palos Verdes Homeowners, this will not affect our local housing market.  But for your first time condo buyers, this is a great opportunity to get into the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  This will really help qualify more buyers in our condo and townhouse market.  WHich will help me get my ocean view listing sold faster.www.ilovepv.com Please check out my listing at www.32946Coastsite#FRanchoPalosVerdes blog and my other blogs on www.ilovepv.com

The Craziest open House I ever Had

January 18, 2008

THe craziest open house I ever had for Karma or Fate or God was several weeks ago.

I had a client that I received on an upcall a year ago. I kept emailing him. He calls me out of the blue one day and wants to look at property.  He loves to talk and it’s a long  conversation.  I am holding an open house for my partner. I am running late, no signs up and my son is starving in the front seat, no sitter. I pull up and see that my partner is there .  Great I think!

I sit in the car and debate should I let her take the open and go to another listing or should I share the open with her. I walk in and see that my partner is there and I walk in as she is talking to a man, same name as my client, I had been emailing forever. I introduce myself and it is my client.  I go to the car and meet his wife.  Ok, that was amazing timing I think, then another man pulls up. Now I have seen this man and his wife walking everyday in Palos Verdes. They are always holding hands and seem so in love. I meet him and I talk to him, tell him I see him everyday on his walk.  He is very nice and I now run into him at starbucks,

I decide to run the day on intuition, leave and feed my starving son and go to my bayclub listing.  I then at 3:00 pick up a new buyer from my listing and I see that my lockbox ke is missing. I think this is a good thing I decided to jump over hear.

I ran the whole day by instant insanity and intuition and it turned out to be the best day ever for new clients. I am know for my fly by the seat of your pants real estate!
