I noticed that with the Fullerton Real Estate market really heating up, I have not been quite so diligent about posting news and activities about my favorite area in Fullerton - Downtown! I know so many ask to know about all the cool things going on as far as activities, events, restaurants and even some discounts.
I give you: FullertonDowntown.com. FullertonDowntown.comis a great website that I stumbled upon some time ago. My friend RJ, who is the developer, and I often write about the same things so I thought it would be a good idea for you to get to know his site.
FullertonDowntown.com has also just introduced a special new section "Save Money Downtown". Here you can find coupons and savings for the places you love or were thinking of trying out.
You can still find me all around town, frequenting my favorite restaurants, venues and of course, selling real estate.I promise to try to keep you updated with the local information and action but in between, get to know FullertonDowntown.com.
If there is anything special that you would like to know about Fullerton Real Estate or anything else in Fullerton, don't hesitate to ask! I am happy to share everything I know about the town I live in!

As the housing market heats up in Fullerton and other North Orange County cities; Fullerton area rentals are sitting vacant.
The majority of the home buyers that are out are the first time buyers. As they eagerly run out and put offers on the few homes that are coming onto the market, they quickly find that it is not the buyer's market that they had hoped for. A starter home in Fullerton or other North Orange County cities that is priced to sell, will quickly command multiple offers.
With so many people buying homes, the rental market is suffering. A year and a half ago, Fullerton rents seemed to spike as people were selling their homes to rent. Trust me, I know! I sold my home to rent for a year and when we got into escrow, there weren't many rental options to choose from and we paid a pretty hefty price. The home that I had rented has now been sitting vacant for quite a while.
It can be very stressful to have your rental sitting vacant for a month or longer. Costs can quickly add up and it can sometimes to tough to find a qualified tenant with good credit.
Could it be a good time to sell? You bet! With so many first timers out to buy a home, it is a SELLER's market for starter homes in Fullerton, Brea and other nearby North Orange County cities.
Check out the article in today's Orange County Register: Which Town's Got Housing Zip? Lansner's article breaks down the strongest Orange County cities based on pricing, selling and foreclosures. According to his article, nine of the top 10 cities are in North Orange County. Brea (two zipcode's listed) and Fullerton both made the grade!
If you would like information on getting assistance with leasing or selling your home, I would be happy to help. As a Fullerton and Brea expert, I would love to put my services and Maximum Esposure Marketing Plan to work to get you a buyer or a tenant!

If you want to get a Realtor(r) going...just start a conversation about horrible conditions we endure when showing bank owned properties. We have been through it all from dealing with cement in toilets to horrible pet urin stench to people squatting in the home to family pets left behind to starve...just to name a few.
I actually posted a status on Facebook today about a Fullerton house that I showed that smelled like rotten fish! My buyer told me that she heard that unhappy people are putting fish in the walls prior to being evicted from their foreclosed home. Yuck, even this was a new one for me!
There are different reasons that people lose their homes. It could be that there was a job loss, divorce, un-timely death or the simple fact that their loan adjusted and they could no longer afford that increased payment.
It is no secret that some previous lending practices put many Fullerton area home owners in more home than they could really afford. No one thought that the market would turn, but it did. The bank is in the business of loaning money (or these days, the business of surviving). What they are not in the business of is selling real estate. When the bank takes a home back, it costs them thousands of dollars to get it sold and off their books.
It is sad to see the terrible state of these homes. Most banks are just trying to get rid of them and I am not sure why so many destroy these homes on the way out. Maybe they feel entitled to the appliances that they purchased or that if they can't have that house then it should be tough as nails for the bank to sell. Whatever the reason, it just seems to make a bad situation worse.
If you or someone you know is having trouble making your mortgage payment, help is availble. Foreclosure is not the only option. If you are a Fullerton area home owner that is feeling this stress, I would be happy to let you know what help is available to you.

A service oriented Realtor that loves to help people buy or sell real estate & to save Fullerton, Brea, Anaheim, Placentia, Yorba Linda & North Orange County Residents from foreclosure. ID: 01272061
Having had the entrepreneurial spirit since I was 10, I acquired my first paper route. I quickly learned that be being service oriented and making sure my customers were taken care of, made all the difference in my success in sales. Over the years I have made customer service a key part of my sales campaign in any item or service I sold. My rather colorful resume includes being a body wrapping sales, Sales for a Singles Expo and even selling refrigerator magnets!
I have been a licensed Real Estate Agent since 1998 and have spent the last 12 years in Advertising, Mortgage Consulting and Residential Real Estate Sales. These traits serve me well because I know how to market homes and make sure deals close!
Being Certified Distressed Property Expert means that I am well equiped to help distressed home owners that may be facing foreclosure. There are options if you are under water and I am here to help!
Living in Fullerton gives me great insight to this wonderful city and the surrounding areas. I love helping people find the perfect home or to help them get their home sold quickly for the highest possible price. Since I am experienced in listing and selling bank owned properties as well as regular equity sales, I can handle just about any transaction. This means that you have an agent that has your best interest at heart and knows how to get the job done!
Simply, I believe that if you provide outstanding service, know your product and do what you say you will, then the sales and happy clients will follow.
"I knew from the first time I spoke with you that if the bank went with your offer, we would have a successful and smooth transaction. You are very professional and great to deal with. Even with our few hiccups, everything went so well. I hope your buyers are extremely happy with their purchase. I look forward to working with you in the future, and hope our paths will cross again." Alisa C. - Quantum Realtors
"Thank you so much, we asked for the near impossible and you stuck with us and found a great home for us. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and your amazing attitude. You really helped me thru the tough situations and this crazy experience of buying our first homeJ You are so great!!! And I am a home owner!! Woohooo!!! " Nicole S. - First Time Home Owner
"I have been working with my agent, Cristal Drake for almost 8 months now! She has been the most patient, caring person I have met in this industry. In reality all the other agents in her office that I have met so far are. Usually agents I have dealt with in the past just want to get you in a place so they can collect their commission. But Cristal is the total opposite of that. We finally found my new home and I am ecstatic! I am losing an agent but have gained a friend." - Yanne
"Dear Cristal, I want to thank you for your hard work and kind assistance. I am also most impressed with your professionalism and expertise. Quite a pleasure working with you, and I wish you great success in your carreer." Cadre D.
"Cristal is such a great, energetic and giving agent! She really cares that her clients be comfortable with the work environment she creates and makes every effort to help them realize their goals and dreams. From the mortgage broker standpoint, she's clear and concise about the status and terms of her sales contract and makes it very easy to put buyers into appropriate programs. She's a great partner to work with and a very valuable addition to the RE/MAX family - Alicia Wingate
"I have known Cristal for well over 10 years. She has ALWAYS operated with the utmost integrity and top quality customer service. Now that she is a realtor she will definitely be my "go to" girl. I know I will be treated with respect and honesty." - Trisch Wheeler
