In todays economic situation there are several people struggling to make their monthly mortgage payment. According to a recent statement from C.A.R. mortgage lenders sent out 46,760 default notices in the first quarter of this year. What does this mean for the average home owner? If you are not directly effected by it you know somebody that is. Who is being effected the most and why? Those that have short term fixed mortgages that will adjust two to three years after receiving them will feel the largest strain on their lifestyle and finances. How can I help you if you have found yourself in this position? You don't have to ruin your credit before you consider what is called a short sale.
A short sale is when the lender recognizes the hardship of a home owner and agrees to settle the debt on a property for less than what is owed on that debt. There are several circumstances and steps to this process but it is more common than you might think. You are probably asking why would a lender allow a person to sale a house for less than what is owed on it? A lender is in business to make money by servicing loans not selling houses and when faced with the choice of foreclosure or short sale they will evaluate the pros and cons of both options very closely. If they feel they will lose less money buy doing a short sale they will be happy to assist in the process.
Do you have to be in the foreclosure process in order to qualify for a short sale? No, but there are certain things the lender looks for and I will walk you through each and every step of the process from the beginning to the end.
Where does your local Realtor come in to the equation? Not all Realtors know how nor do they understand the process of a short sale. It is very intense and very strategic in its entirety. If you think you need to or qualify for a short sale please contact me so I can evaluate with you and give you the insight you need to make an educated decision regarding your home.
In todays market it seems that everyone is a specialist in something, but what make a person a specialist? I want to look at what I believe a specialist is. A specialist according to websters dictionary is a person who devotes himself or herself to one subject or to one particular branch of a subject or pursuit.
Understanding this there are several things that I have studied in life and do not consider myself a specialist in however Real estate I have studied, practiced and been active in for years and do feel that most have general knowledge but few specialize in. You see the definition states one that devotes to not knows about or learns something about. I have focused on and am devoted to knowing the real estate market in Thousand Oaks, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Camarillo, Ventura, Ojai, Oak View, and parts of Oxnard. While Most of my business is focused in the Eastern Ventura County area I was raised in Ventura for over 21 years.
I am a specialist in the Ventura County Real Estate market and eager to help you buy or sell your next and every home.

In Thousand Oaks there is something to do for everyone in the family, from MOMS group all the way to assisted living for the elderly. Some of the things that makes Thousand Oaks so special is the fact that we have two malls and just about every type of restaurant that exists within a 20 minute drive from the heart of Thousand Oaks.
Being located just a short 35 minute drive from downtown L.A. and about 25 minutes from the sandy beaches of both Malibu and Ventura you have all the entertainment you could ask for a short distance away.

Dan,
We love our home!
Thank you for your professionalism. We all felt confident that you were representing us the way we wanted. We respect your integrity in being our agent. Dan, we couldn't have secured our home without your business acumen. We recommend you to everyone we know.
We have bought and sold four homes in different parts of the country, and Dan is by far the best Real Estate agent/broker that we have ever worked with.
His experience and knowledge not only cover buying and selling real estate but also financing, title transfer, and construction/remodeling. In essence he knows all the aspects of real estate and can help you spot potential problems and /or opportunities.
Dan has lived in the area all his life, and I think he is familiar with every neighborhood in Simi Valley, Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, and Camarillo. I was also impressed with his skills in working with the other entities in the real estate community to make our transaction go thru smoothly and quickly.
Secondly, we appreciated all the knowledgeable people that worked with us. What a winning team you've put together.
We're blessed to know you and call you friend.
Thanks Dan
Aaron and Patricia
Dan,
Being a ‘first time homebuyer' was really quite a challenge - EVERYTHING was new to me. First I was trying to work with an Agent that didn't fully understand my needs, and at the time I wasn't knowledgeable enough to know what those needs were either. Thankfully I was introduced to Dan and the rest of the team over at EXIT Family Realty! As soon as we went on our first outing I was stunned to see the care that Dan took in selecting the properties we visited, I had never expected something so close to what I had envisioned! As I sit here in my new home and reflect on the entire process I can easily recall how the burden had been lifted, and that I truly felt that I was making progress the moment Dan entered the picture. Most importantly was that I still felt that I had complete control over the situation, while retaining friendly expert advice. Thank you Dan and everyone at EXIT!
Truly Dan - Thank you again! You made the experience one which I will always remember fondly; and I am expecting to build many more happy memories in my new place!
I really mean it Dan, I enjoyed working with you. I'd like to think that one of my friends will be in touch with you sooner than later!
Kind Regards,
Shawn Mayer
