The Casa Bella development is one of only two condominium complexes in Winchester Ca. Located in the southern section of Winchester. it sets in the French Valley area served by the Temecula school district.
The client I am working with has seen all five of the homes currently on the market and would like to see a few more before making a purchase. Location in the development does not matter and since he will be paying cash we can close quickly.
He loves the Casa Bella Community and is anxious to make a purchase and move in as quickly as possible.
If you are considering selling your Casa Bella condominium in Winchester California please contact me.

On June 1,2010 the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) I belong to, IMRMLS has required all listings to have an electronic Supra lockbox to be present if there is a lockbox. Their reason is unknown to me but I suspect it is due to the complaints from agents who cannot get listing agents to return their calls for combo codes for the REO (Real Estate Owned) properties that typically have combination lockboxes on them. As a listing agent for my fair share of REOs I personally have always called back, if I didn't catch the call, to provide the combo as that is just one of the reasons I was hired by the institutional seller. How can it get sold if agents can't get in?
Fair access to all agents and I have no problem with that at all. A new problem has arisen since those who whined about access, or the lack of, as now they are calling for the combo codes for the lockboxes I install for my vendors, repair crews, painting contractors,flooring contractors and cleaning crews to gain access. I always ask the agent why they don't use their Supra key to open the electronic box and whoa do they get upset when they have to say they don't belong to any Association of Realtors nor the MLS that covers my area.
The IMRMLS covers virtually all of Southern California including Murrieta, Temecula and the surrounding cities. When I won't provide the combo I have been called everything you can imagine but my reasoning is if you are going to be in the real estate business one needs the tools such as board membership,MLS membership and a Supra key to gain access. The combo box is for my vendors and with a Supra lockbox I can see who has entered the property,when they entered, so if the doors are left unlocked or the lights left on I know who was there. Oh and turning on the two air conditioning systems, upstairs and down, is OK on hot days but turn them off. I pay the bills and get reimbursed by the seller but that usually takes a month at least and neither they nor I want to see a spike in the electric bill.
Needless to say but by not giving out the combo codes I am protecting my clients assets. Lazy agents can no longer give the codes to their clients to gain access without the agent. Since this rule was placed into effect I stil have had no problem getting these REO properties sold as the professional agents have the tools necessary to conduct their business. Imagine taking your vehicle to your mechanic for repairs and he had no tools to fix it. Oooops.
If you are searching for a home to buy be sure to hire an agent who is more than a door opener. Agents need the tools of the trade as they cannot always open the door so you will not see the homes that may just be perfect for you. Use a professional who belongs to the local Association of Realtors and has access to all the homes on the market for the area of your choice.
Today is a day of remembrance of tragedy and death as our country was attacked like never before in our history. Most of the time the focus is placed on the folks who lost their lives in the Twin Towers of New York as the towers were a landmark and so visible. Devastating is an understatement and we all watched frozen in time as Heroes emerged from the wreckage to help their fellow man from Police officers, Firemen,Rescue workers to the average Joe doing everything possible to help in a time of need.
May we not forget those who lost their lives in the crash at our Pentagon. Those fellow Americans, whether in that plane or on the ground, had no idea death was only minutes away. Did they remember to tell their loved ones of their love that fateful morning as they left home to begin their day? I hope so as I will never forget that they did not return home to their families nor will they ever.
Let us remember the heroes of flight 93 and the lives they saved as they gave up their own. Average Americans who found out about the crash into the Twin Towers and determined that a similar fate awaited them and decided to do something about it. Whether they were able to breech the cockpit of that airplane is open to debate but one thing is known and that is the fact they put fear into four cowards and caused them to crash the plane in a field in Pennsylvania without reaching their intended target where more lives would have been lost.
May we remember the families of our fellow Americans. Husbands and wives who still suffer today from the loss of their spouse. Children who lost a parent who has not held them in 9 years. Parents,brothers and sisters who never got to say I Love You just one more time. Pain that will last a lifetime.
May we remember the Families who have lost loved ones fighting bastards just like the cowards who attacked our Great land. Whether you agree or not as to how we have gone about this remember our troops are courageously and unselfishly fighting for your freedom and mine. Our troops have families who are scared and worried about their loved ones who are in harms way as a result of 9/11/2001.
This cowardly tragic event has resulted in much pain and loss across the United States of America. May we never forget.
Do you remember how we the people of the U.S.A. were a little kinder to each other in the days that followed this tragedy? Let us all remember that we united as a nation and a people.
My Prayer is we will not forget.
Yes I read the letter and your Buyers sound like wonderful people but the seller accepted another offer. This was a little bit of a short conversation I had with a agent last week as I had to inform her that her clients were not the highest offer in a multiple offer situation on one of my REO (real estate owned) listings in Murrieta California. She wanted to explain why her clients should have gotten their offer accepted.as they really wanted this home and are good people but I reminded her of the multiple offers and it was no BS as I only send that notification if it's true.
Sounding a little like my dear departed Dad may I say "Back In the Day" we presented offers in person to the sellers and their agent. That was the time to let the seller know a little bit about your buyers and try to make a connection to get a little more consideration for your offer. I even got an offer accepted once in 1988 because the seller and I were from the same small town in Tennessee and they were moving back there. Those days of presenting offers in person are pretty much gone and nowadays many agents take time and effort to write out a Bio on their clients, I respect that, but when making an offer on a REO property you the buyer have to remember the seller is an institution and their only concern is the highest price in the quickest amount of time possible.
It may be in-personal as far as feelings go but don't feel alone as they don't have feelings for me either. It's all business and how well they are doing business is reflected in their bottom line. This particular agent asked if I read her cover letter to the seller and didn't understand when I informed her all offers are reduced to basics such as price offered, buyer costs to be paid by seller,home warranty etc on an online platform we use to work with our banks. Impersonal yes, efficient yes, feelings no.
If you are a buyer for a home in Murrieta Ca or the surrounding cities take into consideration who the seller may be on the homes you are looking at. All sellers want the highest price possible but not all sellers are created equal. Some have no feelings at all and will only look at the bottom line so make the best offer possible to get your offer accepted.
