Gentle Reminders!

Hello!  It's been a few weeks since my last post and let me tell you this market is FLYING!  If you are thinking of selling your home, the time is now!!  Check out this article!  In just ONE MONTH the average home price went up 11.11% (February 2013: $472,500 to March 2013: $525,00) in the North County.  Let me say it this way: The median price of a home in North San Diego County has not been as high as $525,000 since mid 2008.  Another way of saying we are in a healthy market:  If no one in North San Diego County decided to list their house, us Real Estate Agents would have NO INVENTORY after only 3 1/3 months.  So many buyers, so few homes to show!  Capisce?  Comprende?  Get it?!  Here we are folks!  It is summertime!  No rain to contend with while moving boxes, family is coming to visit so put them to work helping you move and get the kids settled in their new school neighborhood before the year starts!  Call me for your FREE, NO OBLIGATION (except for a coffee (or...?) appointment to discuss my findings) Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) today!  Your home is worth MORE THAN YOU THINK!!!

Oh yeah and the other side of the coin!  BUYERS!!  Let's get you into the home of your dreams!  Let's take advantage of these beautiful summer days and "light out later" evenings to find you your one and only!!  With the lack of inventory, it could take writing a few offers, but I have got the time and patience to get you where you want to be!  The only question is:  "Where do you want to be this summer?"  Poolside BBQ with friends and family?  Feeding your chickens on the farm?  Riding horses on your ranch?  In your own backyard, not just a patio?  Closer to the amazing San Diego beaches?  Anywhere or anything, just as long as it is yours?!  I can help you find it!!!

Do you own one of the 850,000 residential properties that returned to positive equity in the first quarter of this year OR in the last year did you become one of the 1.7 million borrowers that moved into positive territory???  Let's find this stuff out!  Know where you stand!  I have a whole host of wonderfully, amazing service providers, waiting to help me help you!  From lenders to contractors, appraisers to movers, I know the best!!

While you are contemplating where in Southern California you want to live next, let me remind you of a few things!

JUST LISTED!!! 422 Camino Hermoso, San Marcos California

Hey all!!  Just listed this exquisite house in San Marcos in the lovely gated community of Belleza.  This collection of homes is a true gem of San Marcos.  Built by Ryland Homes in 2003, it is located off La Moree Road, very close to Cal State San Marcos and not far from Palomar College.  Down the road you will find Jack's Pond, a truly unique Nature Preserve practically in your backyard!  San Marcos is home to "Restaurant Row" which is a destination point for anyone looking for great food!  Anything you are in the mood for is there!  The Belleza Community is in the heart of it all!

This particular home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and is just over 1,900 square feet.  This family has done so many upgrades, I hardly know where to begin!  Built-in cabinets in the garage, stamped concrete and a fire pit in the backyard! And the inside... Whoa!  Upgraded counter-tops, stainless steel appliances, custom paint, wood shutters, laminate-wood flooring... all on a corner lot!!

This family has already put an offer on their dream home!  They are motivated!!  Just waiting for an offer on this home to make it official!  Let me know if I can serve you or those important to you!

The Market is HOT, Summer is HOT, Ice Cream is COOL!!

I really did intend to blog about once a month.  Now that it is almost June, and ONE post has been completed, I have sadly fallen short of my goal.  Seems ironic that my 1st post was on just that, GOALS.  However, I am happy report that I have shed some much needed pounds as a result of setting small goals before me!  (I never intend to lose weight, as you are always looking for and hopefully finding things you "lose"! Right?!)  I am happier, healthier form of myself these days, with the excess 30 pounds gone.  

My next set of goals, is more business in genre.  With the housing market SO HOT right now, I intend to list 2 homes, every month, for the next 3 months for a total of 6 before the weather begins to cool and kids go back to school.  Sounds lofty to some.  However, by implementing small changes in my business over the next 3 months, this goal can be achieved and possibly smashed!!

So here it begins!  Small changes... 

1. make 2 more proactive phone calls a day
2. write 2 more personal notes a day
3. pop-by at least 1 of my favorite clients a day (my wife has come up with some fun gifts for you all!)
4. host a Client Appreciation Party (June 29th, is our 2nd Annual ICE CREAM SOCIAL!!) 
5. and of course send out my monthly Items of Value to all my most valuable clients

Small Changes, For BIG Results.  But doing it, all while taking care of you and your needs is what I have built my business on.

With all that being said, the market is experiencing a SEVERE lack of inventory now, which is causing home prices to creep up!  And I would be remiss, as your Trusted Real Estate Advisor, if I didn't tell you that now is a great time to list your home with a professional!  Call, email or text me for a free Comparative Market Analysis of your home!  I bet your home is worth more than you thought!  Let me help you decide if now is the time for YOU to sell!  And if you know someone who is thinking about selling, let me know!  I would love to help out ANY of our family and friends.

Blessings,
Nate

SAVE THE DATE!!  June 29th!

New Year's 2013 - Small Changes

"With each new year, if nothing is changing, do you really have a New Year... Or are you re-living the same life with each calendar year?" - Pastor Will Tyler

I hope that your 2012 Holiday Season was blessed, joyful & invigorating! And with it, you closed the door on your best year ever!! But what if you did not? How then do you make this year different? How do you have a new beginning?

Whether you need to make the after taste of 2012 fade quickly or you only need to improve on it slightly, it is my belief that there are really only a handful, a few, maybe half a dozen or so small things - that when applied to your life consistently & daily, over time - WILL make all the difference for you in 2013!

So I would like to challenge you today - January 1st, 2013 (or by week's end) - to sit down and identify one small action in one area of your life that you can either add or change to help you become the person you strive to be. Then for the next 30 days do that one thing everyday!

Here's the key, grab your partner, a family member or friend who you want to share the journey with and let them in on your plan. Now you've got someone to multiply the joy of victories or help carry the disappointment of setbacks.

My one small change is to focus on getting rid of just .25 pound of body weight each day! That's right just one quarter of a pound each day to reach my goal. If you need encouragement or anything along the way, remember - I'm here to help.

Blessings,
Nate
