Vacationing At The Colorado River ~ Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ

May 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Spring is here and Summer is coming fast! And Summer in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley, AZ is when it really rocks to live here along the Beautiful Colorado River.

We are a resort area and have visitors and vacationers all year round, but there are two particular ‘on seasons’ for our Colorado River towns: Snowbird Fall/Winter and River Rat Spring/Summer.

And River Rat Spring/Summer is upon us.

Are you heading this way, perhaps to buy property in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave or Mohave Valley, AZ?

Planning to spend time vacationing at the Colorado River?

Here’s what you need to know, do and remember:

  • WATER. It is more essential than EVER. Bring plenty of it, drink lots of it, keep it cold.
  • COMPS CARD. If you’re going to be staying in one of our local casino resort hotels, get a player’s club card. The perks are worth it.
  • SUNSCREEN. Even if the sun isn’t shining, you will need skin protection. Especially if you don’t have a ‘base coat’.
  • LAYER clothing. Temperatures can change quickly.
  • CAR SEAT COVERS. You will not like the feel of hot leather seats on your skin.
  • HATS, SUNGLASSES are important. This may be brighter sun than you’re used to.
  • RULES OF THE ROAD. We have photo enforcement. And we are a ZERO tolerance state for DUI drivers.
  • BOAT SAFELY. Every year we lose tourists who neglect boating safety rules and end up hurt, killed or incarcerated. Don’t be one of them.
  • RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. We are friendly and courteous. But we have a short tolerance for disrespect. Give it to get it.
  • TIPPING. This is a ‘right to work state’ with low wages. Tips and gratuities are what pay bills and feed families around here. I’m not saying tip bad service but please tip good service, and tip well for great service.
  • CASINO COURTESY. If you see a player’s club card in a machine and an upside down coin cup on the seat, THAT SEAT IS TAKEN. Change machines have replaced many change people, unfortunately. So players need to leave their machine to go for change. Don’t take their machine. Keep the aisles clear. And be a courteous smoker.
  • PICK UP YOUR TRASH. This should be a no-brainer but the River is NOT the place for your cans or wrappers.
  • PETS. Do NOT leave them in cars while you shop or gamble! They will be hurt or killed. And please pick up after them.
  • GET A MAP. I’ll mail you one if you like. Just ask.

BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!

Bullhead City Investment Real Estate – 1963 El Monte, Bullhead City AZ 86442 SFR For Sale – NOT a REO NOT a Short Sale!

March 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Bullhead City AZ Investment Real Estate – 1963 El Monte, Bullhead City AZ 86442 – Near-New Home Near River 75,900!

Bullhead City AZ Investment Real Estate can be challenging for investors wanting SFRs for rentals.

Our REO-driven market means many Bullhead City homes are subject to occupancy restrictions for bidding.

Much of the time, investors must wait for a ‘First Look’ or ‘Exclusive’ (you’ve all seen those terms relating to Fannie/Freddie/HUD homes–that’s where only owner-occupant primary residence buyers are allowed to bid) period to expire, only to find that the property is sold.

I’ve written articles about how unfair I think this practice is, for investors AND for Bullhead City vacation home buyers who in the eyes of ‘the Gubmint’ and banks, are investors.

This 2007, very gently used site-built Bullhead City home at 1963 El Monte Dr is not subject to ANY of the restrictions placed on distressed properties . . . because it’s not distressed.

The 3/2/2 1181 SF home is clean as a whistle, with travertine flooring, granite counters and upgraded remote controlled ceiling fans.

A finished garage has room for cars or toys.

AND there is a small pad in front for additional parking.

Location, location! Just behind Mohave Accelerated Learning Center, close to shopping, schools and services at Lakeside and Hancock, not far from most medical services and very, very close to the beautiful Colorado River, this home would be a great vacation home, rental property (we have estimated , though cannot guarantee, rents for properties of this type in this area in the low 600s) or starter home.

Owner, who is also a local investor, can provide disclosures, negotiate and close quickly! We will use a local title company who can be responsive to our needs.

Best of all? Property is priced to move at 75,900. That’s 64 PSF, consistent with recent sales of similar properties in the area.

Cash or conventional financing are preferred. And cooperating with a 1031 Exchange is not a problem.

For more information or to get the offer process going, contact us. You could be closed in time for the Laughlin River Run if you hurry!

See you at the River!

Bullhead City Real Estate – Lamenting “The One That Got Away”

May 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I occasionally come across consumers who are unable to get past the house that they didn’t get.

They can’t seem to get it out of their mind. They compare everything else to that one lost opportunity.

Many of them will blame their agent. Sometimes, that may be true, sadly.

But more often than not, it is because:

  • they took too long to decide, and someone else who was able to move fast snagged it
  • they made an unrealistic offer, thinking the seller was obligated to negotiate
  • it was a short sale and lost to foreclosure, or
  • the bank countered at a price they wouldn’t pay–even though they loved the house
  • they were too picky about small stuff
  • they were not playing for a win-win and the seller rejected their offer outright
  • they were looking at homes before they were ready, willing and able to buy

I understand disappointment and even heartbreak. And the last thing we ever want is a sad client!

And yeah, some things are just not fair.

But you have no choice except to move on, adjust your expectations and realize that perfect doesn’t exist except in a skewed hindsight perception.

You can’t even BUILD perfect (although you can come close and it will cost you)

If you see a home that fits 80-90% of your criteria, and you really love it, you can bet that someone out there is also eyeing it too. So take your best shot out of the gate and give a little to get a lot!

What you CAN do that is very empowering is be:

  1. prepared
  2. ready to move in an instant, and
  3. realistic about your choices, budget and the market

I don’t like the cliche, “if it’s meant to be”, either. Even if sometimes it is true.

I feel that more is within our control than outside it.

Part of that control is being willing and able to see clearly what you have to work with!

Still. like a jilted lover whose subsequent choices just never ‘measure up’ . . .

. . . if you are stuck in the “one that got away” rut . . .

don’t be surprised if you end up with nothing.

Because that kind of attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy that will suspend and disable you.

Shake it off and work with your agent on a game plan.

Otherwise, you might just be lamenting about the ‘great agent who got away’ too.

Sometimes the most powerful magic is simply a shift in perception.

Let us help you get what you want.

Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ Real Estate – Manufactured Home Financing

December 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

A fellow Bullhead City AZ, area real estate broker e-mailed me a question:

“I am trying to find lenders for Bullhead City AZ manufactured homes, to assist our buyers, sellers and fellow real estate professionals.”

I started to answer, but the answer was a good Jeopardy-style one–IN THE QUESTION–and it’s not a short one.

If you’re buying or selling a Bullhead City, Fort Mohave or Mohave Valley AZ manufactured or mobile home, whether or not you can get financing, and what type and terms will depend on a number of factors.

THE PROPERTY:

  • Age. On June 15, 1976, HUD stepped in and began to regulate mobile and manufactured homes, requiring specific design and code adherence. This is the ‘line of demarcation’ you will hear when you talk to a lender about financing. “Is it a pre- or post- HUD home?” means is the home newer than June 16, 1976? Very few, if indeed any lenders will touch pre-HUD manufactured homes.
  • Style. Bank statistics have shown over time that the default rate has been far greater for singlewide than multiwide manufactured and mobilehomes. So double and triplewides are far more likely to be conventionally financeable.
  • Occupancy. Will the borrower occupy this home as a primary residence? This makes a difference to lenders. Again, bank default rates are likely the reason.
  • Condition. Appraisal will need to show that the home is in very good condition. If FHA or VA financing, tiedowns oe retrofitting may be required. A concrete foundation, as opposed to a raised one, may be necessary. Often, the home must be in an area not in FEMA Flood Zone A.

THE BORROWER:

  • Creditworthiness. Duh. Guidelines are far more stringent for manufactured homes than their site-built counterparts. Borrowers with ‘marginal’ credit will not be able to wiggle through. And paperwork requirements, verification of assets, income, employment and credit, will be very, very detailed.
  • Terms. Again, guidelines may necessitate larger down payment, higher interest rates and other terms that are less attractive than those for site built homes.

The first thing to do if considering a Bullhead City area manufactured home is talk to a Bullhead City real estate lender with whom you’ve had a long relationship. Guidelines are constantly changing but for a solid borrower buying a new or newer multiwide manufactured home, many banks and mortgage banks do offer manufactured home financing. Talk to your lender and find out what their guidelines are.

In our area, manufactured homes are very popular and some are every bit as well built, energy efficient and drop dead gorgeous as their site built neighbors.

Some, you wouldn’t even know the difference.

What Is Your Definition Of Professionalism? Here’s Mine

November 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The lady who did my nails yesterday was delightful. She was messy, late, scattered . . .

and OMG, did she make me look fabulous.

She was a PRO.

As she spilled polish on her (well protected) table, she smiled and said, “I’m a mess. But that’s just how I roll.”

It made me think about how we define professionalism in our industry. I may measure it a bit differently than some. Perhaps not. :)

Professionalism is not how stuffy or condescending you can be to demonstrate superiority.

It’s inclusive, not exclusive.

Professionalism is relaxed and has a sense of humor because you have nothing to prove when you know what you are doing.

It’s knowing when you are in over your head and having the good sense to ask for help.

Professionalism is doing a job well for its sake.

Style isn’t enough to get by. Substance is essential.

It’s nowhere NEAR measured by who you clink glasses with at the latest Tweetup, or how many Facebook friends you have.

It can be greatly enhanced by those you know that NO ONE knows about.

It’s not who YOU are at all.

It’s what RESULTS you get that solved the problem.

Professionalism is leaving your ego out of the equation.

It’s bringing people together . . . not creating adversaries.

It’s knowing when to sidestep a pothole.

Professionalism can turn on a dime if required.

It’s how you roll.

It’s crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s–and quickly fixing what spots were missed.

It’s NOT manipulating others to do YOUR job.

It’s acknowledging the good works of others.

Professionalism is the ability to continually and instantly VALUATE everything.

Especially time.

Professionalism requires a great deal of generosity.

It’s being prepared because you anticipated the probabilities.

it’s being able to improvise because you know you couldn’t possibly anticipate them all.

It’s helping others help their clients – because it helps yours.

It’s knowing when to stay out of something that is not your concern.

When to cut someone a break . . . and when to hold their feet to the fire.

When to talk, but more importantly

when to listen.

Is professionalism akin to wisdom?

It might just be.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Want To Find An Exceptional REALTOR? Ask Their CLIENTS — NOT Their Facebook Or Twitter Friends!

May 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I love trolling the Internet. So many opinions bandied about.

I was playing fly on the wall and overheard an online chat about who is a good REALTOR, extolling the virtues of some big and bright online stars. But how many of them are really ‘journalists’ who practice only in theory?

Inexperienced newbies who hopped the online bandwagon 10 minutes ago?

Inactive licensees who never sold anything at all?

It occurred to me that there is really only one way to determine who truly is a experienced and efficient real estate professional.

Their satisfied customers.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. A strong online presence is a good thing. So is being a popular and social agent. It shows we play well with others–and a lot of successful closings for happy clients truly are made on the merits of the relationships between the brokers. When we get a choice, we choose to work with who we get along with, and that means more successful transactions at the end of the day.

But whether or not someone is a GREAT REALTOR?

Only our CLIENTS can say for sure.

  • They experience the level of service first hand.
  • They experience the level of care first hand.
  • They benefit from–or can be damaged by–the skill level of the broker.

Client testimonials are huge. They are gold. Platinum.

If you receive an online referral to a REALTOR, whether you are a referring agent or a consumer, you might want to ask the referring agent, “Have you actually worked with this agent?” “Do you know any of the clients this agent has served?” “Can I talk to any of them?”

The agent should be able to provide at least 3 CONSUMER contacts that, on the fly, you could drop a line and get an accurate picture of what to expect from them.

This week I will be updating my client testimonials. And if you would like to meet some of my clients, I’ll hook you up.

That’s how people will know for sure that I’m doing a good job . . .

"They Didn't Counter So I Overpaid" And Other Nonsensical Buyer Perceptions

May 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Public perception is a funny thing. We elect naked Emperors, uphold Size Zero as a beauty standard and buy more than we can afford to pay because we think we can instantly turn a profit without breaking a sweat.

The things I hear from people are just baffling sometimes.

Here are some of my favorite consumer real estate perceptions:

  • “They didn’t counter so I overpaid.” Overheard in Trulia Voices this past week. Buyer felt she overpaid because the seller didn’t counter. Upon (pro) inspecting the property, in addition to some valid habitability issues (such as roof) this buyer ‘discovered’ that the property also needed paint and flooring–and wanted to cancel the transaction and put in a new offer, knocking off a few thousand for those items.

BUT BUT BUT: Didn’t you view the property prior to purchase? Could the property have been priced fairly to begin with, taking the condition into account? Could the seller have felt your offer was fair, and being serious about selling, did not feel the need to counter? Do you understand that paint and flooring are cosmetic items? Do you really think the seller should pay for you to redecorate?

  • “Making an offer on an unlisted property is asking for a beating price-wise.” The very educated person who made this statement shocked me. He felt that if an owner doesn’t have a property listed, it’s not for sale–and to make an offer on such a property could never result in a favorable deal for the buyer.

BUT BUT BUT: Do you KNOW the owner’s story? Might the owner not even remember they own the property? (This happens ALL THE TIME in resort areas–the reminder comes 2x/year at tax time but otherwise, it’s collecting dust. Land particularly.) Might the owner have tax or abatement liens on the property he can’t afford to pay? Could the owner actually be in need of some additional cash? Might the owner not know the true value of the property? Perhaps they know and are aware of the market, and see the offer as nothing short of a miracle anyway. The owner may have wanted to sell the property but never got around to hiring a REALTOR to help. Everything’s negotiable, and a win-win is not that hard to bring about in most cases.

  • “I know there’s not much for you (the REALTOR) in this.” This statement was made by someone who wanted to make an offer to lease-option a property. We hear this also from people wanting to make ‘small deals’.

BUT BUT BUT: We will either accept or not accept a client based on a number of factors, but price/commission dollar amount is not usually anywhere near the top. (Saleability and client cooperation are!) A lease-purchase takes longer to close, but the commissions on a sale on a listed property were agreed to when the property was listed. An erroneous public perception that we’re all in it for a quick buck. If that were only true! Real estate at its best is not ‘in the moment’ but a long process. If the deal is good for our clients, it’s good for us. If we are doing it right, YOU will be our CLIENT longer than THIS will be a TRANSACTION.

  • “That’s listed way over market/that’s not what the comps say.” I heard this a couple of days ago when a prospect called on a property that I have listed at HALF of land value according to the active, pending and closed sales in our Regional MLS. When I asked what comps the caller used and from where…duhhhh…well that’s just something he ‘heard somewhere’.

BUT BUT BUT: I would be happy to provide you with the same comps I used to set the price AND a copy of the disclosure where the seller told me to list it low to SELL IT. Zillow, Trulia and RealtyTrac are NOT always current or accurate and do not account for many of the intricacies that a local market expert would know.

~~~~~

Before you make a move or adopt a mindset, it might be a good move to ASK and REVIEW the CURRENT documentation.

Happy to help…with the FACTS…

Take Your Best Shot Outta The Gate – You're Not Guaranteed A Second One!

May 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Multiple offers can be as frustrating for a listing agent (at least, this one) as waiting and working for ONE offer. And the fact that the public, and many of the agents don’t know exactly how to deal with them makes it even more labor- and time-intensive.

Remember that the seller doesn’t HAVE to respond to ANY offer. It’s not good practice to ignore offers, but there is no obligation to respond. If the ‘drop dead’ date comes and goes, the offer is dead.

We always let people know (public and agents) if other offers are in process of negotiation . . . (note that the REALTOR COE calls for disclosure of ACCEPTED offers), and tell you off the bat that other offers are in so TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT NOW.

So if you know another offer–or two–or ten–is in, why make a weak offer with the expectation that the seller will counter? That is risky.

If there is already a better offer in, chances are IT will be the first, if not the only one countered.

And a low offer–OR one that does not echo the seller’s requested minimum terms–might be viewed as less than serious when there are better offers in.

TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT AS SOON AS THAT TARGET IS IN YOUR SIGHTS, IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY HIT IT.

Investors playing the ‘law of averages game’ are operating on the premise that if you throw 10 lowballs at 10 sellers, there’s a chance that one will stick.

That is not who this post is directed at.

For the buyers who truly want a property–and lose their shot because they are playing an investor’s game with an owner-occupant’s set of needs and emotions . . . I wish they had been more sensible.

I had a situation recently where an offer on one of my listings, one of two, was outright rejected for a better offer. The offer made was a fairly weak one, even after told that an attractive offer was in. (Neither buyer was via my office, FYI.)

When I broke the news to the weaker offeror’s agent that the seller rode the more attractive offer to execution, the response was. “Why didn’t you counter us? We WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE SAME THING!”

Why didn’t you just do that in the first place?

When the seller was asked, “DO YOU want to counter this offer with similar terms or ask for a best/highest/final from both parties” , his response was,

“Nahhh . . . they probably can’t do it or they would have offered to–and besides, this other one is ready to go.”

And if you know a better offer than you were going to make was just rejected . . . by a BANK . . . and you STILL want to lowball yours . . . let me feel your forehead. Are you running a fever?

I was told by a bank’s agent that X amount was the last offer that was rejected (and we all know how they arbitrarily respond), which I conveyed to the buyer. In response, he make an offer 10% below it and said “Tell them to take if or leave it.”

Guess what happened next? Duh! They left it.

I think this happens because the public distrusts what we are telling them.

Problem is, we can only go on what we are told, too. There is a point where you have to take on faith what you are told.

Don’t kill the messenger! But please listen to the message:

Unless you’re an investor (a REAL one, with a calculator for a brain and a steel spine, and no attachment to the outcome or a particular property) . . .

. . . the more weak offers you make, the more failures, the less enjoyment you’ll get from a process that should by all rights be exciting and fun.

Why put yourself through it?

Look at the comps, make a tight offer and get the property!
