    Looking to buy a home? Search all homes for sale here. Looking to sell your home? Use our free home evaluation tool here.   We were fortunate enough to recently land an endorsement from one of our favorite musicians, Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts. You can check out the full endorsement in the video above, but what really stood out to us was that the message of his music and the message of our business aren’t so different after all. “When ‘I’m Moving On’ won the award for ACM song of the year, it struck a chord with folks who understand the challenges that come with life’s big changes. For many, that time comes when they sell their home. If you’re moving on, you want a team that will make selling your home easy and stress-free.” – Gary LeVox   "It’s always our goal to make things as stress-free as possible."   He hit the nail on the head there. It’s always our goal to make things as stress-free as possible for all of our buyers and sellers. We outsold every agent in Temecula in 2016 and if we can’t sell your home at a price and deadline that we both agree to, we will buy it. If you have any questions for us, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you.

  • Tips to Sell Your Home During the Winter,Lisa Forss

    Tips to Sell Your Home During the Winter

    Looking to buy a home? Search all homes for sale here. Looking to sell your home? Use our free home evaluation tool here.   Selling your home during the winter can be tricky, but also very beneficial. Here are some tips to make sure you properly prepare your home for the market. First, take a quick look at your neighbors’ homes. See what you like about their landscaping or what appeals to you about their home, because those things will also appeal to the buyer. Make sure your lawn is freshly cut and your bushes are pruned. It’s also best to make sure your flower beds have a dark mulch and are free and clear of any weeds. Don’t underestimate the importance of your front door. You need to make sure it is free and clear of any dust, rust, or cobwebs. You might even want to give it a fresh shine by oiling it. After all, the front door is one of the first things a buyer will see. Now that you’ve got some great ideas on how to spruce up your exterior, let’s move on to some tips to make the inside of your home look just as fantastic.   "The winter months are the best time to put your home on the market."   The first thing you need to do is stage your home. There is a beautiful example of a staged home in the video above. A professional stager will come in for a 90-minute consultation and take all of the guesswork out of www. You have enough stress on your shoulders, don’t let staging be one of them. The next step to ensure you get top dollar for your home is making sure your kitchen and master bath are in tip-top shape. Not everyone has the money to completely remodel these rooms, so give it a facelift by buying new appliances. You might even be able to get a great deal, as there are a ton of specials this time of year. Many people have heard that the summer months are best for listing a home. However, it’s statistically proven that the winter months are the best time to put your home on the market. Shortly after the holidays are over, we see a huge influx of inventory hit the market. This means more competition if you wait to sell until after the holidays. If you follow our tips and get your house on the market now, we are confident your home will sell for top dollar. If you have any further questions about this topic, please don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help!

  • What Millennial Buyers Are Saying About Their Home Purchases,Lisa Forss

    What Millennial Buyers Are Saying About Their Home Purchases

    Today we have some Millennial home buyers here to speak about their home buying process. This demographic is beginning to become a major force in the real estate market, and their impact will only become larger as time goes on.   We interviewed some of our younger buyers to see what they had to say about the process. Most of them made the decision to buy after wasting thousands of dollars in rental payments, and they also wanted a way to invest some money for the future. A lot of them are living with roommates who are helping them to pay off their own mortgage.  They also appreciated the fact that we were able to communicate with them via text message and email, and they felt that we informed them well throughout the entire process. None of them regretted their purchases, and they cited rising rent prices as their major motivator to purchase.   If you’re looking to buy a home or just want to talk about the process of buying, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would love to help you begin the process and get you started off in the right direction!
