We have this resource and it is cutting edge. Offered by Smarter Agent, I was the first to bring it to you for the Santa Clarita and the Southern California Region.
All you have to do is Text "scv" to 87778.
On an iPod, Cellular Phone, iPhone, PDA or other mobile device - try it, you will get texted back the download link to this Real Estate NOW search tool.
If you are seeing a real estate sign on a home, check out our portal - you will find it and know how much it is priced at and see extra pictures and other valuable and necessary information.
We have been working on the development of a Great Real Estate Coaching Resource and are setting appiontments and interest lists.
Based on a Relational Business Model - we are not the Typical. The Difference between a Bad and a Good Real Estate agent is that the Bad one is looking to the next paycheck, the Good Real Estate Agent is looking to the next Client for Life.
Have a look at the first steps in the "becoming a Great Realtor" at our iBlog911 site.
Crystal Ball - I don't have one - but with the pure numbers of properties that have been on hold since the implementation of the TARP Plan and the Additional 90 day hold placed by the California Govenor - They have not completely gone away for our state.
In fact, a majority of them have been looming. Going No Where - but sitting vacant awaiting the hold to complete.
Pictures tell a thousand words - but I think that Real True Market Numbers show a lot - especially if what you are contemplating will work or not.
So, We at the Paris911 Team, at REMAX are about the dissemination of information and giving the best information possible about the Real Estate Numbers and Santa Clarita Market Updates - we do this on an almost daily basis - which keeps our team sharp and gives our clients the edge when it comes to buying or selling real estate.
Here we are today - Santa Clarita Valley consists of 8 cities within it's considered area - These are Acton, Agua Dulce, Canyon Country, Castaic, Newhall, Stevenson Ranch, Valencia, and Saugus. Of these cities - we are sitting on these numbers for the past 24 hours// August 12, 2009.
13 New Listings came onto the market for sale of those two were Real Estate owned foreclosures and 4 were short sales.
We move into the Active Listings on the market right now in the cities that compose the Santa Clarita Valley - that number is 675, with a 107 Average Days on the Market. The reason for this large days on the market number, when we are seeing REO and foreclosure inventory move much faster, has to do with the Short Sales and their difficulty with the negotiation part.
16 properties turned Pending, at this time, there are 1009 properties that are in pending or back up status in the cities that compose the Santa Clarita Valley.
July we closed 431 escrows and to this point in August we are at 119 - this month might result in less closings that July did.
Keep the Faith and hang in there if you are a buyer - stick to your agent if they are doing you right. We are The Paris911 Team at REMAX of Valencia.
So, do you want to be on the leading edge of what is going on in the Santa Clarita Real Estate Venue?
We have that, I do "almost" daily updates with the happenings within the cities that compose the Santa Clarita Valley, all of which you can access by typing in the city name into the URL browser bar followed by a "911.com" (exclude quotes :-).

CONNOR with HONOR - RE/MAX of Valencia and Santa Clarita - Paris911. Connor MacIVOR and Paris MacIVOR working in the field of Relational Real Estate - Buyer and Seller Representation with a 911 Code.
We know how you approach things
You want the facts laid out clearly without hype, slick presentations, sleight-of-hand or other kinds of games. This is exactly the way we operate. We help you analyze your needs and requirements, then we show you only the properties that will fit those needs. We aren't out to push properties on you that we'd like to sell. We know from personal experience what you do, the sacrifices you make and your value to the community, so our services are designed as a hats-off to the contribution you're making every day.
We know you're concerned about safety
So are we. Our law enforcement background has given us a heightened sense of urgency about the your safety in buying or selling a home. We make sure, for example, that none of your valuables are showing in marketing photos of your home. We're especially vigilant at open houses. And we always download the complete electronic record of every agent who has shown your home so you know exactly who's been in your home and when.
We know what you're looking for in a transaction
You want expertise--no runaround, no excuses. Paris and Connor work as a team and handle your entire transaction personally, and they stay on top of every step of the transaction, making sure everything goes smoothly and gets done on time. We consider it our mission to protect and serve your interest during the entire length of your real estate transaction... and even beyond. We've been known to still be providing support to home buyers months after a sale has been completed.
We can point you to resources reserved for those who choose to be represented by us:
We lay the ground work and foundation for the business we have formed since the mid 1990's around the protection of your interests. Therefore, we watch each and every aspect of the transaction and make sure that you don't get hung out to dry. Either by the buyer, seller, other agent, escrow, title, lender, or one of the other players in the game. We have built out business on a cornerstone of trust and honesty and a Relational approach to our business. We are not going to ever view our business transaction-ally!
Real Estate Owned - We Operate in the Foreclosure Realm
We have been blessed to have some of the Largest Foreclosure Banks choose us to Represent them in the sales of their assets. Asset Managers of Many different financial institutions call us on a daily basis and compare our services with that of others in our industry. The most impressive thing to the Asset Managers is the ease of Communication by Paris911. We also work with the Paperless product when it comes to communication of offers, addenda, and financial documents. We work with Adobe 9.0 and always have remote access to our business computers by Go To My PC. So no matter where we are we are notified of any pending orders or what needs to be completed as next steps with regard to Foreclosures and Bank Owned Properties.
We worked for our fair share of companies wanting what was best for our clients and us. Some of the companies had great training programs, some of them took less of our commissions but with that gave us less in the area of assistance and training too.
After a few years in the business we were actively looking for an office that fit us. A no-nonsense approach to the securing of real property. A company that would stand beside us side by side and hand in hand to make us the best and most professional realtors that we are capable of being. A company with agents that have ethics similar to our own. And most importantly a company that holds "you" the client in extremely high regard.
Enter RE/MAX. This was the ticket, it was a place that was absolutely professional, and extremely well thought out. There was planning of this great company that is paralleled by no other. The leaders in the industry were all housed in the shadow of the great red, white and blue balloon. This was it, we had arrived. This organization was big enough to give us and our clients the power of unlimited protection, but small enough to know and care about even our smallest concerns.
What I appreciate even more than the above statement about protection and them caring about our concerns is their policy about "discount" advertising. There are a lot of companies in the market that advertise about "pay lower commissions", "money back at closing", "TV when signing", "Free search for homes in a Limo", "all you can eat buffet after seeing 5 homes (ok, I haven't seen the last one, but it is kind of funny)."
Here is the deal. RE/MAX knows it agents are independent sales people, they work on their own with a huge amount of latitude. They also know that they can line up their agents side by side with others in the industry and RE/MAX agents will always stand out. Having said that, RE/MAX also knows that when you choose an agent price is no object when you are getting a well seasoned, honest, and disciplined agent. Furthermore, I kind of appreciate their idea of not wanting to make "real-estate" appear cheap.
Welcome to our Full-Service Real Estate Solution.
"Paris and I are only interested in giving you the very best Real Estate Consultation Procurement and Listing Services possible."
We had our start in the business when we were purchasing our first "Special Program" home for Police Officers. Little did we know that "Special" was going to be our catalyist to becoming Realtors. Realtors that would have a different approach to our clients needs and desires.
First off, it was almost impossible to speak with our agent after we opened escrow. In addition, this was about the time when a local builder was breaking ground on a massive development of new housing. We learned from our past experience, we want to be able to contact those we work with within moments. We answer our voice mail's, telephone calls, and e-mail messages promptly. We also want clients for life. We discovered the reason that our agent did not want to show us those "new" homes is that they did not cooperate with agents in giving them a commission when bringing the buyer.
This is not the way in which we operate in developing our clients for life. The reason this matters is that we do not hide or not include properties from you seeing them based on whether we get more of a commission, or any commission at all. We want you to use us to sell it when you are ready to move. So our eye is on the end, not the present. We want your children to use us to buy their first, second, and third homes... NOT TO MENTION EVERYONE YOU KNOW! - "Now that is powerful stuff!"
Secondly, there were things that we should have disclosed to us about the contracts we were signing. The agent did not know the contracts line by line. Nor was the agent able to answer all of our questions regarding different parts of the contract. The aggogance that was displayed when I started to read the contract, the contract that would bear my signature, the agent told me that everything was fine and just to sign, that was just terrible.
We explain the contracts line by line, we do not rush any part of the transaction. We understand that you have the right to have the time to make your own decisions and not to be rushed.
By these two examples of how we were treated made us come up with a concept that was not being produced in the Real Estate Industry.
Paris911 was born, our concept was simple, treat our clients as friends and family. Treat those that choose us with the respect that they diserve and honor their decision. Never to rush anyone when it comes to decisions being made in regard to Real Estate. Always watch out, for our clients, during each part of the transaction. Watch the fees being charged by all those involved, escrow, title, lender, home inspection, termite inspection, and all the others. Sitting down with the client during the signing of escrow and lender paperwork. Making sure the numbers match and there are no hidden fee's invloved.
