Paris and Connor MacIvor Santa Clarita REMAX

One of the best things that I love about my job is when I can release new technology into the hands of our Clients and future Clients. Enter Listing Book - http://SantaClaritaListingBook.com is where you can go to search for Homes and Real Estate as Agents do.

This resource reminds me of back in the day when we could generate passwords and give you access directly into the local Multiple Listing Service. But now it is more hands off - for you as the consumer. But with Listing Book, updated multiples times every hour - You will now have what you have been looking for . This spans a lot of the Boards of Realtors we are members of.

The data is constantly being updated so you will very rarely stumble onto something that is active and it turns out to be sold - This is what you will need when it comes to the finding of the home of your dreams.

Check out the blog post I put together at http://iBlog911.com also check out our Utterli space and our http://blog.paris911.com for more information.

RE/MAX of Santa Clarita and The Paris911 Team

Connor MacIVOR

Here is the latest information concerning Santa Clarita Real Estate and its more current Report by the one and only Paul Atkins. A very nice man and an agent that works in the same office as Paris and I. We are also members of the newly formed Top Agents United group which meets twice a month and discusses how we can help our own buyers and sellers achieve their goals with relation to Real Estate in the Santa Clarita Valley and Beyond. Representatives of several large companies and their top producers to boot, meet with The Paris911 Team with RE/MAX of Santa Clarita at the offices of Augusta Financial on this Bi-monthly schedule.

There is a lot of good being done for those that are looking to sell and or buy in the Santa Clarita Valley and elsewhere in Southern California.

We have continued to work and provide detailed information concerning the current status of Real Estate in the Santa Clarita.

Check out http://HomeValue911.com to see where we cover and don't forget to visit mom at http://paris911.com

Searching for Real Estate has a lot of options. There are some companies that would have you pay for Foreclosure Listings. Just Plain Crazy - go to http://Morethanforeclosures.com and I can pull a search for you that is FREE and with no obligation.

The Reason in this title I state Beyond - go to http://HomeValue911.com and see how expansive our base is - Foreclosures - Distressed from Four Different Boards of Realtors.

This one only works if you currently have iTunes on your computer. Mike Price out of Texas offers his http://mlbroadcast.com solution that is podcasted all over this green Earth. And in places that are not so green. Just another Resource that Paris911 at RE/MAX of Santa Clarita and RE/MAX of Valencia place in our arsenal to make sure that we are able to attract buyers for our sellers from everywhere.

Doing so will ensure the maximum amount of exposure for each of our listings and if you have been in this business for any amount of time, you know that an old saying is "The More Signs you have our there on properties for sale, the busier you will be."

I would say that was good for then - But we must adjust for the NOW - And the more signs you have on Active Rain, and the WWW - The busier you will be.

It has worked for us and even attracted us an REO account (however, ultimately GOD called that shot). I give credit where its due - But when you have all the "I's" dotted and all the "T's" crossed, it allows the power you believe in to function without a hitch.

We are RE/MAX of Santa Clarita and are looking forward to helping your business thrive - Because we are in this together, period!

All right, we have explained again and again about what we believe to have been the downfall to the Real Estate Industry. We keep our fingers on the many pulses in and around Real Estate. But we have also been blessed with a lot of nice people on our end that are all about the educational aspect with regard to their wares.

Enter Mike Meena at Augusta Financial- He is always thinking and re-thinking the Lending Arm of Real Estate. He is also a man of Honor - I know this because he has proven himself with our Clients and to Paris and I. He continues to keep us on line with all of the Happenings in the Lending Community.

As a Realtor, you might not want to get involved with the Lending aspect of Real Estate - But if you don't you are doing your Clients a huge disservice. You should know what works, that loan products are being offered and able to offer opinions about what you might think is the best. I have run, however, into agents that look at me as if I am CRAZY (I get that look quite a lot) - When I start to discuss Qualification procedures and how to qualify and what questions to ask the Lenders.

I have to know how it works - I suggest you call your lender and ask them for a couple days to sit in their offices as a fly on the wall and just watch and absorb - A Day without Learning... Well, you know the rest!!!

So, Mike has put together a package that has to do with a Self Direct Individual Retirement Account - So please follow the link I have placed on this page to our http://iBlog911.comsite which is by the way a cutting edge Wordpress 2.0 platform with the Masterful skills of those folks at Kinetic Knowledge -
