Real Estate Discount Programs for Employees of HP, Intel, Apple, Yahoo, Weyerhaeuser, and More!

06-22-10
Jim Harris

Hello Neighbors,

Fun news.

Neighborly is now partnered with several different large companies in Northern California and the Bay Area. Most are tech companies, which happily takes us back to our previous lives...

Neighborly has been working for several months to get these relationships in place, and they've all gone live simultaneously.

Through each company's internal system, Neighborly now offers special programs to employees of:

  • Hewlett-Packard
  • Intel
  • Apple
  • Oracle
  • Microsoft
  • Yahoo
  • AMD
  • Genentech
  • KeyPoint
  • Sony Playstation
  • Levi Strauss
  • Meriwest Credit Union
  • CommonWealth Central

If you work for one of those companies, how do you get access to Neighborly's special employee programs?

Log into your employee discount portal and search:

  1. Home & Garden > Real Estate category or
  2. Finances & Money > Real Estate category

What is your employee discount portal called?

It could be different at each company. Examples:

  • HP's system is called "Passport"
  • Microsoft's system is called "Benefits Prime"
  • Intel's system is called "Vault"
  • Apple's system is called "Passport Unlimited"
  • Weyerhaeuser's system is called "MyDiscount".

Contact your internal HR rep for help with your system.

Many thanks!

Rocklin Inventory - Of these 77 Homes, 90% are Short Sales

06-07-10
Jim Harris

Hello Neighbors,

I did a quick search for a Rocklin / Roseville client today, using some very high level criteria:

- 2000 to 2500 square feet
- $220,000 to $300,000
- 3 to 4 bedrooms
- 2 to 3 bathrooms
- 1990 or newer construction
- Single and Two stories
- Rocklin, Roseville, Granite Bay.

The results?

77 homes came up in the search.

Of those 77:

- 70 are short sales!
- 1 is a HUD / HomeSteps home
- 1 is bank owned (a foreclosure)
- the other 5 are in a variety of different statuses.

Over 90% of these homes are in Short Sale status.

Less than 1% are REO (foreclosure) homes. The banks continue to sit on property.

Buyers - THANK YOU for sticking with us as we continue to work through the short sale offer and escrow processes.

- Jim

Jim Harris

Hello Neighbors,

We need a hand with filming virtual tours.

We have the need to film virtual tours of a few different properties in and around Austin, Texas.

Our own team has been trying to create these, but the production values just aren't where we need to be.

This is the level of quality we need: http://www.realtourvision.com/tour/RE/tour.view.new.php?utl=RE-5041-39RYKJ-01

If you know of anyone who produces virtual tours like this in the Austin area, please send me their contact infromation. Please also send a URL with example work (or have them send it) to Jim@NeighborlyRealty.com

Many thanks,

Jim
