Recently dined at the Fish House Vera Cruz in San Marcos, in what is know as California Restaurant Row on Sunday, we were seated on the patio; we chose to go mid afternoon. The weather was perfect for sitting out on the patio. The hostess that seated us was very pleasant, and the waitress came quickly to take our orders.

The menu consist of only seafood, from the exotic to the ordinary, price wise it is semi affordable, the least expensive item on the menu is the cup of soup and then if you want bread that is an additional cost. Which I must say is something new--- it use to be included.

Having dined at the Fish House Vera Cruz in Carlsbad, Temecula I find the location in San Marcos to be the nicest of the three also the San Marcos location is the first location that was launched of this restaurant chain.

As to the food I found it to be good and so was the service. The Fish House Vera Cruz serves lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

As technology provides more and more advantages to the real estate professional, I have witness the next futurist approach to selling homes and that is ON-Line Bidding.

It is becoming a fast growing segment of the real estate market, and has proven to be a successful weapon for those agents wanting to create buyers urgency. Establishing a sense of urgency has help sell homes in less than 90 days.

This might very well be considered a sub-niche in the selling of real estate; the results are starting to be amazing. Homes that were languishing suddenly have 20 offers. Yes, there is over bidding going on. Many times it levels the playing field, and heightens buyer's excitement. Sellers get faster results.

Here are the encouraging particulars about ON-Line Bidding .

1. Competitive Bidding. (Where buyers and sellers get more involved)
2. Amplifies the interest in properties..
3. World wide exposure. Bids coming from Canada, Japan, England etc.
4. Buyers are qualified before placing a bid is allowed.
5. Seller can see quicker --- tangible results.

Apparently, this sub-niche of selling is beginning to take a bite out of the traditional style of selling real estate. One of the advantages is the sense of urgency. .

Be ready to see more and more of this happening in your real estate market.
