What would motivate you to buy a home or sell and buy an up-grade or
downsize?
A recently survey....found selling and buying trends within the “Baby Boomer” demographic and separated the baby boomers into younger Boomers (aged 47-55) and older Boomers (56-64). “With nearly 79 million Americans in this demographic, the insights gleaned from the survey can definitely help you understand this massive group of potential clients.”
“Young Boomers want all the upgrades!”
Survey says!
According to “the survey” only 6 percent of agents report that those in the 56-64 age category are looking to get into a bigger home. Interestingly, the younger boomers would love more space. In fact, 31 percent of those same agents said this younger group was in the move up buyer category. With the 47-55 age category it’s more likely additional space is needed for growing children.”
“Nearly 80 percent of the older boomers would love to downsize to a smaller home.”
According to Jim Gillespie, CEO of Coldwell Banker Real Estate, “I know baby boomers are a very diverse group and cannot be described in generalities, but our survey clearly indicates that those boomers who are financially secure are actively seeking to buy their retirement home, or a second home, and they are taking advantage of the opportunities and value available in today’s market.”
What are your thoughts on this and what would motivate you to make a decision to buy or sell in today’s market?
Are you a "baby boomer" who has an empty-nest and would love to move closer to the grand-children or maybe buy that vacation home on some remote island you always wanted?
OR why not rent your vacation home?
Maybe you could find some great vacation rentals instead of buying!
Or, maybe you're just tired of keeping up with a large home and you want to downsize to a condo or smaller home!
Or, maybe you want to move in with your extended family out-of-state! Or, maybe you live out-of-state and want buy a rental property closer to home.
There are so many possibilities. One caveat: if you don't need to sell, don't! But if you do, and you own real estate in Downey CA or Long Beach CA and you need a full-time Realtor who has the knowledge and the desire to help you sell your rental property or primary home in downey, I know I can get the job done! I would love the opportunity to interview for the job of being your Real Estate Broker and Realtor.

NORTH DOWNEY CA REAL ESTATE - Buyers and Oooo - Ahhh Real Estate

North Downey CA is a coveted section of Downey, CA. From the moment you get off the 605 Freeway and head west on Lakewood Blvd you know your not in Kansas anymore. New buyers can't seem to drive through North Downey without the occasional Ooo or Ahhh escaping their lips. The grand homes whether they are the newer mansion style or the single story ranch of old have helped to put North Downey CA on the map for homebuyers seeking affordable luxury real estate (yes here North Downey the two adjectives can go together). Manicured lawns and wide tree-lined streets arrayed in various gold and green hues throughout the seasons make North Downey CA the jewel of Downey.

North Downey CA homeowners are usually those looking to grow deep roots in the area. There is clearly great pride of ownership from those who have poured life and love into the community. This effort has not gone unnoticed as it continues to attract serious longterm homebuyers.
I was showing buyers a home during an open house once and they commented on how the street would be perfect to show their daughter how to bike ride. The daughter the wife was referring to was a 4 month infant she was holding in her arms at the time. The husband already had plans on fishing at nearby Wilderness Park with their future son!
North Downey CA locale is only a 7 minute drive to the best shopping and dining Downey, CA has to offer. It is centrally located and is close to the 5, 605, 710 and the 105 freeways. Anyone who lives in Los Angeles County knows that type of freeway access is gold! For those who need to drive a little further for business, it is 12 miles from downtown L.A. and 5 miles from Orange County. When it is time to play, North Downey is close to over 10 parks, nearby golf courses and only 11 miles from the Pacific Ocean.

This Blog officially makes my 100,000th point here on Active Rain. I wanted this Blog to be especially sentimental. I began thinking about the things that matter to me: family, friends, and my wife (of course).
I am much too busy for bars and clubs...so...okay...I met my wife on the internet. It was a dating site for singles. I saw her picture and then I read her profile (this was my first impression of her). Like it or not, I had my first impression of her BEFORE I even met her or spoke to her. I know that it doesn't sound fair. However, in the internet realm...your profile is your first impression.

Having said this, let me ask you a few important questions:
-Is your picture professional and current?
-Did you take the time to relly show WHO you are?
-Is the information on your profile true and accurate?
-Does the information stand out from the others?
-Does your profile help the potential Client CONNECT with
you as a person?
My wife Tania said that she liked my smile (picture) and that she felt like she already knew me before we met (who I am). She also said that most guys lied on their profiles (true and accurate). Finally she said that she really felt connected to me BEFORE we had even met (connection). Each and every human being is terrifically unique and great in their own way. That is how we stand out: by being ourselves.
If my profile can get ME a wife...then certainly it can get YOU a Client ;-)

My key qualities are that I do my homework, I know my contracts, and I am a great negotiator. Most money is saved/lost during the Buyer's contract offer. A great Agent does NOT concede every little detail of the transaction to get the sale. Each "detail" can cost anywhere between $50 to $6,000. Are you ready to save some money?

I will do the following things:
1. If I am not available, I will return your phone calls quickly/promptly.
2. I will give you prices for comparable (comps) properties.
3. I will show you ONLY properties that fit what you are looking for.
4. I will let you know FIRST when any great deals come up.
5. I will negotiate the best possible deal on your behalf.
