Sunny California gets a dark day in rental scams

We may have to create a safe way for people who lease properties to KNOW the person taking their money is the rightful owner. It came up first in a REMAX PV EXECS meeting. Our broker told about the word coming out this was happening. People were misrepresenting ownershop, taking deposits and taking off with the money. I heard it first hand today from a local couple in Torrance . Someone who was forced to leave his home turned around a falsly took money from innocent people trying to lease.

CAR is requiring the new business cards to have the realtors number listed. Many properties locally are with westside rental. It is free and any owner can get them the property info. Search out the proof that they can provide you to be sure of the ownership. Be safe with qualified business people and companies.

There are good people all over the place. The few cheaters out there require you to really verify and be sure of the people you are dealing with.

Bank Owned, REO, and forclosures are out there. Make sure you are not renting one by a fake owner.

Pier Ave was the spot to be to see the best wonderful place to sit. Candy is tossed and handed to the sideline families. Our group met near Valley and Ardmore after ballet class in Redondo Beach studios.

Catalina in Gardena short sale

My costume designer's home in Gardena is a great spot for someone who wants a lot of storage. The bonus room has one long closet with mirror doors. Isn't it darling. She fell in love with the parquet wood floors. She went on to add the bamboo through all the bedrooms. New flooring in the kitchen-laundry and bathroom and new kitchen appliances grace an already great home. The fruit trees are mature and bearing. The driveway can park 4 cars plus a 2 car garage. This is for professionals who need to drive only a short way to access the freeways. It is blue and white charming.

I have it showcased on Realtor.com in Gardena. It is also on Trulia, and a ton of other sites. I'm about to add it to Craigs list too. I am open to ideas from other agents on marketing on the internet.

Short sale facts. They are long sales. They get offers and the bank cannot respond quickly. The buyers walk away and new buyers come along. Who is first....first or most money. I've seen it go both ways. The deals are often a result of the last offer in or remaining.

The principal read a favorite book from her childhood days. I had never heard it before but it was masterful as it was pure fun. Kerplunk, Kerplunk the story had the blueberries fall into the pail. A mix up on a mountain of the mother and mother bear an d their babies.

Only a few months ago this principal had a baby girl of her own.
