The Paris911 Team

There is an argument out there that every foreclosure that is available for sale is not posted on the Local Board of Realtors and Multiple Listing Service.  I would say “hog-wash”.  The key component is available for sale.  The response to that Absurd statement requires a bit of qualification - That qualification is, are you wanting to purchase an Auction property?Do you represent a group of investors that has the funds to support a purchase of a “block” of properties that a Bank has foreclosed upon and now has as REO’s?

If those are the profiles that you fit.  Then the statement that started this entry would be correct - Those homes that fit that profile would not be on the MLS.  If you are interested in the hunting of those types of homes, Both Foreclosures and REO’s then call me for a more specific inquiry.

Back to all of the more “normal” buyers.  For the regular, run of the mill, garden variety Foreclosures and REO’s, then those will be MLS based.  Because of one simple reason, why would the bank want to trust their REO rep with doing all of the marketing themselves in an attempt to find the buyer.  Why not list this home in the MLS where thousands of starving agents that have buyers can have a look at trying their turn to sell this home.

There you have it.  If you are looking for the most current listings of Foreclosed and REO properties in the Santa Clarita Valley - Then you have to look no further than by clicking on this link from the MLS department of the Southland Regional Association of Realtors!

If you are looking for one of those more specific searches that I was speaking about - Then look no further than going to www.MoreThanForeclosures.com.  I have built a custom page that is equipped with our Foreclosure Radar Resource that is fed by zip codes.  There you will see all of those other “not so normal” properties populate those lists that are categorized by Zip Codes.

We here at REMAX of Santa Clarita and REMAX of Valencia with The Paris911 Team have created a system, a Virtual Portal, that auto populates with every single Foreclosure, Bank Owned and REO listing that is on the Market within the cities that compose the Santa Clarita Valley.

Remember as you are looking all over the world wide web when they, who ever “they” are, tell you that you need to buy lists of foreclosure listings, that is not entirely true.  Every single agent that represents the Banks, and the Banks hire agents, need to place every Foreclosure listing onto the local Multiple Listing Service.  This MLS service is located within each specific Board of Realtors.

Don’t forget to check out our Foreclosure Radar 911 database - There you will see things that include notice of default and auctions.

With regard to the Santa Clartia Valley - And the cities therein - This is the Southland Regional Association of Realtors, www.SRAR.com.

Click Below for the Link for the Foreclosures that are current and on the Market within:

• Castiac
• Canyon Country
• Saugus
• Stevenson Ranch
• Valencia
• Newhall
• Acton
• Agua Dulce

There you go, click on any one of the cities above for the Foreclosure Portal.

Search for Properties as we do at our Listing Book Resource.

Then you can go to the specific cities by typing in the city name followed by a 911.com, example, www.StevensonRanch911.com, or www.Castaic911.com, etc..  You will be taken to a Market Snapshot and Home Value portal where you can do other rearch, by neighborhood after you pull the listing from the portal above.

I hate to watch struggle.  I also do not like to see anyone suffer.  I have been there and I have experienced some really hard times.  Hungry times.  We have put out a search to find some agents that have the same codes and relational views of Real Estate that The Paris911 Team Does - I think we might have a connection.

We spend in excess-of 60K a year in advertising print alone.  We have Internet exposure that is beyond comparison.  All you have to do is to run a search for us and the markets in which we are operating.

We would ask for experienced Agents that understand the Team concept and want what is best for the clients that we obtain via one of our carefully placed ads and our Foreclosure Listings.  Not only do we need buyers agents that can represent buyers, but also work the many open house opportunities that we advertise “ad nauseum” to the masses, all of which have very large returns in production.

I would ask if you are thinking about making a switch or wanting to obtain a confidential interview with us, please give it careful consideration.  But I do know one thing for sure, you will not be sorry.  There is enough for everyone and we would like to help those out there that are struggling and want to join a crackin’ Team at REMAX of Santa Clarita and REMAX of Valencia - The Paris911 Team.

We just put this Foreclosure that is located out side of the gate in the Circle J Ranch Area of Saugus California, onto the market very recently.  Within 40 minutes I received my first phone call from a Pinnacle agent that I used to be in a networking group with.  3 hours later, he called and told Paris and he would be submitting an offer.

Does that mean that this property is going.  Not by a long shot.  However, it does show that this home is priced to sell and that the bank coordinated the right level of priceability.  It is a sweet single story home located on a Cul-De-Sac Street with a large back yard with view of a canyon for miles.  No neighbors to the rear either and it is clean, shows light and bright, and is a true Foreclosure, so closings, depending on the speed of the bank, should be very fast.  (I hope…)

I have uploaded several showing platforms so you can view it from the safety and security of your own home.  If it interests you, please don’t hesitate to call us at REMAX of Valencia and REMAX of Santa Clarita with The Paris911 Team, located at 25101 The Old Road, Santa Clarita CA, 91381, (800)760-6911 and at 911@Paris911.com, we will be glad to help you.

I did not join REMAX for any other reason than that I like what they are about.  I like the Espirit De Corps, I like the cutting edge training, and I also like the fact that we sell more Real Estate than any other Company, period!!!

Ok, this is leading to a point.  If you are not wanting to do business in the Santa Clarita Valley, Metropolitan Los Angeles, Ventura County or the Antelope Valley, then I can hunt a REMAX agent for you anywhere else.

Anyone can do an Internet search for a city and couple that with the term “remax”.  What I do it completely different.  I find the REMAX office and using the REMAX corporate site I then start hunting.  I want to know what awards were received, I want to know the agent’s license date and current status, the background from the companies standpoint and via the office manager, and also what their transactional handling numbers are like.

I then start to make specific calls to those agents that made the cut.  After speaking with them and when I find someone that has my no pressure, no hype, and has a relational approach and not a transactional one - Then we have a match.  I call back the client that contacted me to find a REMAX agent and make the connection.

Just recently I had a nice lady call that has several parcels of land to sell in Crescent City California, I did the above and after several inquires and phone calls later, I had found Rose Peasleywith a REMAX in Crescent City California.  He is not only an “agent” but also happens to be a business partner with the owner. 

Ok, now we have a big gun, but what about her approach to this “selling” stuff?  She had a play it forward approach and was experienced.  I went into the REMAX corporate site and verified her standing and awards.  I also called the office and inquired to the person answering the phone what they thought about her.  I know that is kind of strange, but sometimes if you get hesitation, or pause, then you have more questions to ask.  In Rose’s case - It was a fast response with no hesitation, “she’s great, the receptionist said.”

I treat all of the callers that want me to hunt REMAX agents for them as if they are family.  I had a gentleman call from a city just north of Bangor Maine - Wanting me to help him.  He still calls me today after the introductions just to keep me posted and check in.  I love it.  Making Clients for Life - That fits within our Relational Business Model quite well.

I hope that you take advantage of having me hunt for a REMAX agent for you.  I enjoy this ancillary duty very much and I love to make connections that all have fantastic outcomes - drop me a line at connor@paris911.com or via our Mother sites:  www.Paris911.com, http://connormacivor.remax.com, http://parismacivor.remax.com, http://topproducing911.com, or by the regular ond phone toll free at (800)760-6911 (that is my cellular phone and if I am available when you call, I answer, if not I return your call at my next available moment!!!) - Connor with HONOR with REMAX of Santa Clarita and REMAX of Valencia and The Paris911 Team.

In the trenches, where The Paris911 Team operates, we have a pretty good view of what is going on with the Real Estate market and not only where we are Headquartered, but also with our expansive base within all of Southern California.  http://HomeValue911.com is where you will find the four Market Snapshot widgets that cover all of the Boards of Realtors Paris911 are members of.

With regard to the response time that the banks think is “ideal” on some of the REO’s and Foreclosures that we are writing on - in some cases it is more than a week before we are able to get a response on offers written.

This is by no fault of the agent, but this is most likely the case with the new level of demand that is placed on the Banks with regard to their Distressed inventory.  I would always hope that the banks honor whatever time frames that are within contract, but that is not always possible. 

When you are the one that wrote the offer while being represented by an agent, both you and your agent are the ones that can have feelings of being slighted or put on the back burner while other offers roll into the bank.

If the properties on the market are good deals and priced right, they are moving.  People might be saying their waiting - But I have not seen that in our market with REMAX of Santa Clarita / REMAX of Valencia in Santa Clarita California.  There are multiple offers on “priced well” properties for sale here and within the Four Boards of Realtors in Which We cover.

We are headquartered in Santa Clarita but have an expansive base.  The best you can do it make sure you agent is on top of the process and keeping the fire lit under the REO agent, so they in turn, can keep the torch to the bank.

Everything has its own timing and there are reasons for everything as well.  Sometimes, it just takes time to see what those reasons are.  BE Safe and Good Hunting!

What do you think about searching for Real Estate like Agents do?  Like Realtors?  How do we do it.  First of all we need to be members of one of the Multiple Listing Services that are in control of the Data (homes for sale) for which area we are interested in working.

We then need different access codes, passwords, user id’s, and talk about a lot to remember - We are members of 4 boards of realtors, most overlap, but they all have specific areas that they serve so our base can be as expansive as possible for our clients.  Check out http://HomeValue911.com to see where.

This brings me to the link that starts this article.  A Listing Book Portal that is tied directly to the Multiple Listing Service so you can get your own username and password and let your fingers do the walking.  Whether you are looking in the Santa Clarita Valley or the San Fernando Valley, this will do the trick.

You also have to remember for other areas, to try it as well.  But REMAX of Santa Clarita and REMAX of Valencia serve our clients and The Paris911 Team brings the power of “911″ to you.  For the regular listing portal for the ListingBook, all you have to remember is http://Listingbook911.com and that will get you to our home page so you can register and have tons of fun.

 My Best - Connor MacIVOR at connor@paris911.com

If you are a frustrated buyer and have written offer after offer - Don’t worry there will be plenty more and everything has the right timing.

If you are a seller that is not in distress and you cannot get what you want for you home, you need to accept with the flooding of the market with distressed properties, you are up against something that is bigger than yourself.  You still have options, if those are not to your liking, you might just have to wait.

If you are a seller that is in distress, you are not alone.

If you are a Real Estate Agent that is starting to lose hope about making a living in this market.  I would suggest for you to take a moment, reflect, and maybe change the way you hunt.

Be Safe and I know if you want anything bad enough, you can get it!!!

I know, the market is terrible - But I am still happy - could it be 17 years of government conditioning?  What is the deal?  I was the same when I was working in the trenches in Los Angeles.  I cannot help it.  Some people have a different outlook on life and have different views of things.  I have my priorities in order and do not sacrifice them for anything.  I love GOD - Family - Country and then everything else.

Thank You for your support of The Paris911 Team during the hard times and we are looking forward to the future and what it has to bring to Real Estate in Santa Clarita and the other places we service our customers.

With my Best and Every ounce of thanks I can muster - God Bless.
