PRE-QUALIFY FOR HOMES IN MOUNTAIN HOUSE!

Shelley  Puentes: Loan Officer in Tracy, CA

Mountain House is the best place to live, I think, especially if you have a family. We are getting ready to have our 4th of July parade. It's just like the one I remember growing up watching in Alameda. Afterwards there is an old fashioned community picnic in the park. If you are thinking about moving here, you should definately attend this! If Mountain House might be the place you'd like to buy a house then contact me. We'll do a free consultantion and application over the phone. DRE #01395691

TOP 5 Reasons I DO NOT answer MY PHONE!
These are mine..... what are yours........
5. Caller ID says it's your spouse's Mother on the other end of the line.

4. You're riding in the CAR with Someone besides YOURSELF - your kids, spouse, a friend. (OK I admit I do answer when in the car with kids, rarely with husband, rarely to never when it's a friend in the car with me.)
3. You're in a meeting! I was in a meeting the woman in front of me DID ANSWER HER PHONE.
2. You are with clients.

The NUMBER 1 REASON to NOT Answer your phone.....

1. You are in the BATHROOM --- yes someone actually DID answer their phone when I called, and YES they were in the bathroom - they told me!!!

Come on add to the list.... I know you've got examples..........

REGRET PRICE - do you know what it is?

Susan Goulding; Central Valley Realtor Tracy & Mountain House CA Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Tracy, CA

REGRET PRICE!

What is that? Regret price is the price you would regret if you didn't pay..... this philosophy can be applied to EVERYTHING, however it works especially well with BUYERS!

You know Home Buyers.... who ask ... how little can I pay, I want the best deal..... is that really the issue? NOPE.

How many times have you heard that then the buyer doesn't get the home, they wait until it is sold and find out what was paid .... what is always said ..... "Oh drat I would have paid that!" That is the REGRET PRICE.

Now when the property is sold, and they don't get the home, when they find out what it sold for and they think, "WOW, I would never have paid that for that property." Again - the REGRET PRICE.

I'm getting my clients to start thinking about their "REGRET PRICE" for every house we see. In this market of Short Sales and REO, the asking price is RARELY the REGRET PRICE!

Every home is someone's Castle.

SCAM ALERT - TOOK 10 YEARS OFF MY LIFE!

Susan Goulding; Central Valley Realtor Tracy & Mountain House CA Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Tracy, CA
SCAM ALERT - BEWARE - THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE!!!

This happened right here in Tracy, CA........
I get a call from my 76 year old father....
"""Susan we've got a HUGE problem, Tyler (my oldest) just called and he's in jail, got drunk, got in an accident and is Canada.  He needs $4,800 to get out as that is the damage to the car."""

Now, I can't express how panicked I was.  First, Tyler is supposed to be in Albuquerque, in the Air Force.  I quickly try to call him, Of course he doesn't answer his phone, (he's in jail); so next I send an email to his Military on base email - it simply said "Call me now".  He does - immediately.

Bottom line - we was not in Canada, not in an accident, not in jail.

This was a scam to cause you to panic and send money immediatley.

The good news is my dad told the people who called - to CALL THIER MOTHER  -- that would be me.  They DIDN'T.  It wasn't until later we figured out this was a total scam.

Yes the police have been called.  So please be warned, this was scary stuff, you don't stop to think when your kid is involved.

BTW - what they to my dad was ....."This is your oldest grandson........" My dad said, "Tyler...."  they responded - "yeah this is Tyler"... and so on .....
