A Call to Agents

My superiors, the President and CEO of Axia Real Estate Group in San Diego, have asked me to write a blog announcing that we have now expanded our business into Riverside County and that we are looking for agents to work in both Riverside and San Diego.  I said to them, “Superiors, with all do respect, this is not something to discuss on a blog. This is something to announce on the home page of the website or take out an ad in the Reader or SignOn SanDiego.”  As you can tell by the fact that I am indeed writing a blog on our business expansion, I did not win this argument. And so, without further ado, let me introduce to you, Team Aguilar of Axia Real Estate Group:

Under the direction and leadership of Carlos Aguilar (President), and Howard Blum (CEO), Axia Real Estate Group, Inc. has been helping buyers and sellers in the San Diego region for over a decade. Carlos loves using the line that he has “been in real estate longer then he would care to remember” which was voted by me, to be his most over-used line of 2008. But he has been at it for a long time — originally licensed in California in 1972. The bottom line is, the man knows everything there is to know about real estate in California and he’s a pleasure to work for and with. And even if he wasn’t the one paying my salary, I’d say the same thing.

So, now that Team Aguilar has expanded into Riverside, we are looking for experienced real estate agents to join our group and work both Riverside AND San Diego regions. Agents should be experienced, knowledgeable, and willing to follow up on leads. If you are interested, or have any questions, call Toll Free Number at (888) 317-1496 or email info@teamaguilar.com.

Maybe this is the one for you, Team Aguilar is proud to be offering a new listing on the market that is a beautiful home in the heart of La Mesa. This home in La Mesa features 3 bedrooms, 1 bath and beautiful hard wood floors. It’s recently been cleaned up with new paint, appliances and features great hard wood floors throughout the home. If you look at other similar homes in the area this particular home really feels like a home. It’s move in ready and has been maintained and taken care of. If you are in the area and would like to take a look please feel free to contact us so we can make arrangements to show you this beautiful home.

According to www.cyberhomes.com this property located at 3414 Trophy La Mesa CA 91941 is valued at $378,043. You can read a full report of the value of this property by going to the website and typing in the property address. One thing that Cyber Homes mentions is that the real estate market has declined over the last many months and you have to take into consideration that now may or may not be the best time to purchase. Let me give you my 2 cents on why this may be a good time to purchase.

What we are presently experiencing in the San Diego Real Estate Market is what many other counties in the country are experiencing. Huge declines in home prices! What will be the factor to stabilizing these home values? The value of real estate can only come down so much before several things start to happen. 1 being that people who are presently renting a home decide that they can make a sacrifice and actually afford to purchase instead of continuing to pay rent. 2 Investors feel that it’s within their investment guidelines and they start to purchase and suck up extra real estate inventory.

What we have seen in San Diego are huge drops in home prices which I feel have just about reached the bottom. We are starting to see home values level off and many investors and 1st time home buyers are jumping into the real estate market. This may or may not be the right home for you but it’s definitely a home worth looking at. It priced @ $299,000 and may be something that you can purchase, own for a few years and use the gained equity to buy a larger home. If you are an investor, this may be a perfect long term rental for you to consider.

The first and most obvious would have to be that you will not have a foreclosure on your credit report. This is a definite plus. An experienced short sale Realtor will be able to help you sell your home and eliminate the debt from a mortgage you may not be able to afford. You need a Realtor that is up for the challenge because there are are many real estate agents that will not even know where to begin because they don’t have experience doing real estate short sales. It’s unfortunate but many Realtors can’t even explain the foreclosure process.

Another benefit of a short sale may be that it will allow you to avoid a bankruptcy. One option that many people consider to give them additional time in the foreclosure process is to file a bankruptcy but this option depends on the state you like in. One misconception of a real estate short sale is that you will have to pay the real estate commissions out of your pocket if you are approved for a short sale. If your property is accepted as a short sale and the deal is able to close, you won’t have to provide closing costs to close the deal. The bank will pay all of the closing costs and Realtor commissions when they approve a short sale. Often they work the agents down on their real estate commissions but this item is not something you will have to pay or worry about. All of the items paid in escrow at closing are factored into the banks expense when they decide to approve a short sale.

If the short sale is approved your Realtor may be able to save you from having a Deficiency Judgment issued against you for the short fall in the amount collected from the short sale and the final balance of the Summary Final Judgment. Many of the states have different laws and guidelines for their foreclosure process so be sure to check what applies in your state. 

Another thing to keep in mind is that congress has recently passed new laws that will eliminate the short sale amount from being taxed as ordinary income. In the past borrowers that completed a short sale would receive a 1099 at the end of the year for the amount of money that the bank took as a loss. Under the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 (H.R. 3648) homeowners that do a short sale on a primary residence will not have to pay taxes on the short sale amount. This does NOT apply to investment property. This new Mortgage Forgiveness act is only for Primary Residences.

If you have any questions about real estate short sales please feel free to ask. We handle real estate short sales in San Diego County but also know agents in other parts of the country that we may be able to refer to you.
