We've made it to the dawn of the new era of prosperity!

It if finally official! The home buyer's credit has not only been extended but now expanded to cover up to 70% of all home buyers. This is much better news then most people can comprehend! Americans have, for years, asked "why not spend our money to help us here at home?" The U.S. Government has!

The expansion of the home buyer's credit means that homes will sell, homes will be saved, home prices will rise and America is on the way back! This will lead to more employment as home buyers will be spending money to fix up their new homes. Home Depot & Lowes will be busy again and employ more workers. These workers will be able to save their homes and with home prices on the rise consumer confidence will rise. This will lead to spending on non-essentials like eating out and entertainment. More people will be needed and hiring will increase!

God Bless America & Americans! Oh yeah, the rest of the world will soon follow us out of this miserable recession! Looks like we made it!!!

Let me know if you would like to look at homes, sell a home or would like me to hand pick you a Realtor that knows your community and works to serve the best interest of the client they serve!

I have posted the Tax Credit Extension with all of it's changes on our Super Hyper Mega Net Real Estate of Santa Clarita Blog Platform. (taken from the "Simpson's")

But I have. It looks like the Buyers of Santa Clarita Real estate and in the other Southern California Communities we serve as Realtors will have some more breathing room. We have educated our clients and explained not to get too worked up over time frames and dead lines. When we are in a declining market - the 8K tax credit, might not amount to anything compared to holding off until later to purchase a home.

Yes, I know, that is not the best way to get someone into escrow - but it is the best way to keep clients and earn others. So, we pitch as it is, no curve balls, spit balls, sliders, or anything of the like. I like the good old fast ball, but we give our clients the tools, education and the right amount of our professional experience to hit a home run each and every time.

We do RE/MAX Relocation here.

We also are your Short Sale Resource in the Santa Clarita Valley and in the other communities we serve iwthin the Santa Clarita Valley.

We handle Bank Listings, REO's, Real Estate Owned, Foreclosures.

Our Media pages for our Sellers and Buyers cannot be compared with anything else in the world at this time. But as soon as others jump on the bank wagon - I will be quite far ahead, God Willing...

Your first experience finding a rental was most likely in you early 20s, where the criteria was price, proximity to university or work, and price. It involved a lot of time in the classified section of the local newspaper and phone calls, which may or may not have allowed you to see the properties in a timely manner. But you were young and had the time.

But as we all mature, our criteria mature, making the search more challenging. Your criteria may now involve proximity to good schools, two work locations, transportation networks, safe neighborhoods, allowance of pets, as well as a reasonable price.

The answer to this challenge is using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to help your search. The MLS helps prospective renters find exactly what they are looking for in the same way as it helps prospective buyers. The MLS helps save time and frustration by showing what is being offered for rent in your target area by motivated property owners. The MLS often has photographs of the properties, detailed descriptions of the residence, and even neighborhood reports.

And by enlisting the services of a professional property manager, the prospective renter has further reduced frustrations. A professional property manager is skilled in finding your next rental property based on your unique criteria. They understand the local area and can help to fulfill your unique needs. They can arrange to show you the properties you are interested in, take you through the lease signing arrangements, and find you your next home.

If you like to spend your Saturday afternoons in the classified ads, go for it, but not to find your next rental. The MLS and your professional property manager can make finding your next rental home easy.
