Foreclosures - everyone is speaking about them and with good reason. There is a opportunity that folks, the regular types, might be able to purchase Real Estate at the proverbial bottom…  That should be something that everyone should at least consider is they have the means and if it is a good fit for their lifestyle.

Whoa - do you mean that not everyone out there should buy Real Estate - True - I said it, not everyone is a good fit for that kind of commitment - everyone is different and everyone deserves to speak with an expert about what the market is doing, where it is going and to have it explained from their own point of view.

We want to educate and be the purveyors of knowledge to the masses - we have operated our REO portals - Foreclosure Radar’s and other fantastic places on the WWW, where from the privacy and comfort of your own home, you can see what are the current, right now, real estate happenings.  We have news feeds, blog platforms, MLS vendors - databases - and we also know a heck of a lot about Lending and Mortgages - without being the ones that loan money - we do make sure everyone is doing their part for everyone that chooses us to be their representatives within Real Estate - We never want it said that we let anyone get hurt - and it has not happened and we will not allow it to - that is why we have such a “Vice-Grip” type lock on all of the vendors that have their palace in any one Real Estate Transaction.  It is a huge responsibility and headache - but if your Real Estate Deal only depended on our Team - Paris, Me, David and Jamie - then it would go along without a hitch…  But our education of who is who in the zoo is very important when we have our introductory meetings. - It gives titles and functionality with regard to who does what and why…  You owe it to yourself, drop us a line.

OK, here is the REO listings via a PDF - we have our own portal and I can set you up with your own Real Estate REO and Foreclosure Search for any area across Southern California - where we are headquartered.  Santa Clarita Valley - Los Angeles County, Antelope Valley, and the Greater Los Angeles Area and surrounding communities - just ask me and I will make it happen.

Real Estate Owned List for Santa Clarita Valley from 11-05-2008 to 11-19-2008

If you want your own specific search then go to our Foreclosure Portal operated by The Paris911 Team and RE/MAX of Santa Clarita - I will pull the data and keep your personal information safe, but you will be given hot off of the market listings that are target specific and are any “distressed” type you want.  Give me a call or drop me an e-mail and let me know what your flavor is.

Hey all - I have attached the most recent notice of Trustee’s sale’s for the Santa Clarita Valley.  Some of these are where the properties revert back to the bank after foreclosure and there could be other recordings privately that will show on this list.

This is for the entire Santa Clarita Valley - if you are looking elsewhere - we have access to the same information state-wide - just drop us a line or call me giving me the area in which you are interested - and I will get it to you and have it posted regularly on http://REOengine.com.

Notice of Trustee’s Sale 11/05/2008 to 11/19/2008 - Santa Clarita Valley

Don’t forget to register for our REO listings at our Foreclosure portal and Database with Paris911 - Your information is safe with us and I will have it to you in short order.  We have access to REO’s in Ventura County, Antelope Valley and Greater Los Angeles and Surrounding Communities.  And of course where we are headquartered in the Santa Clarita Valley.

I am still completing the cash for keys agreement or eviction of this new asset we just acquired located in Port Hueneme California - It is a three bedroom and two bathroom home located close to the beach and the Military Base.

After I get the particulars, check back to see what the listing price will be and of course the terms that will be set by the bank and their asset managers.  This property should not last very long due to its exterior profile, location and we all know that location is the key.

If you are frustrated about the internet based companies that are attempting to get money from you just to look for real estate on the computer or otherwise wanting to charge you for other “searching” searches related to foreclosures and other distressed properties - stop paying and have a look at things that are free as they should be.

The data obtained from our Real Estate Search Engines are directly from the source, the Local Board of Realtors that has every single listing in whichever area you are interested in.  So there is no middle man of outside vendor.  These Multiple Listing Service Engines are updated several times per hour so you do not need to worry about something showing active when it has been sold - this is of course if the agent that has the listing is doing their job…  Another post for another day.

There are two resources that we have which I love to tell people about - we have a resource that will allow you to search as an agent would for homes - you can search specific criteria and even every single foreclosure on the Market - this is our ListingBook resource.

The second and only in order being typed is our Diverse Solutions Resource which uses a Map Interface.  when you go to this site you will see a multitide of green buttons that have to do with homes for sale, keep zooming in and you will start to see individual homes for sale, click on those and you will get all of the infomration you desire - CARETS has opened up a lot of the Boards of Realtors and shared all of their data - so you have a one stop shop at either our ListingBook or MLS resource!

I just completed a Verification of Occupancy at one of the bank’s assets in Simi Valley Off of Tapo Canyon just south of the 118 freeway.  This is a condo, two bedroom and one bathroom.  The re-key has taken place and I am waiting to have my pictures produced so I can complete my Price Opinion.

Watch for what this and other foreclosures the Bank has so graciously trusted The Paris911 Team at RE/MAX of Santa Clarita with the handling and selling of.  If you think about it, if the bank trusts us with their Assets - don’t you think you should also?

This REO market is not going to be around forever, we were before this market and will be here after it goes away.  We are not hinging all of our bets on the Bank’s assets.  We still manage a 1400 person database and are still representing a huge amount of buyers on a weekly basis.  If you are thinking about jumping into this current real estate market and are wanting more information about if it is a good fit, call us for our Real Estate Orientation meeting.

We take 40-45 minutes of your time and spill the beans.  We explain every part of the process and give you our projection related to the Real Estate Market.  Also, this is our consultation, we are consultants more than we are sales people.  We want to educate you on the steps necessary to keep you safe and how not to run around unprotected.  It is very necessary to show you what we have to offer with regard to Real Estate and why we do fit the “proverbial” “different” profile from other agents.

We chose RE/MAX of Santa Clarita for a single reason and that was because of the strength that was afforded to us that we can pass along to our clients.  I have had the pleasure to meet with the Attorney that represents RE/MAX international - and from my law enforcement dealings in court over the past 17 years with a huge amount of attorneys - I can say this about Steven, he is a very impressive Attorney from his “Robert Redford” type persona to his kind and caring attitude.  However, that “kind and caring” attitude is very well placed when it comes to having a working knowledge of Real Estate law and that is what makes his dangerous.  However, I am very confident to have him as RE/MAX’s representitive, which makes him The Paris911 Teams representative and ultimately your representative as well if things go awry.

Speaking of “Awry” - there are a lot of players in each Real Estate Transaction and our job is to keep everyone in check.  We do that well - Each entity that has a part of the Real Estate pie - needs to be watched, and some others in our industry explain to us, “if my clients have a questions about the loan - that is not my part you need to ask your lender”.  That is all well and good, but if I am going to set myself apart from the crowd, as RE/MAX’s famous Brand indicates, then I need to know more than any other that is working in my field.  So that is what we at the Paris911 Team demand of ourselves, both Paris and I and our staff, who is only support in nature.  You hired Paris and I because of who we are and what we have done with the building and branding of our business - our Premium customer service and our presence, then that is who you will be dealing with.  Period.

Here we go with the Real Estate Owned or bank owned properties in PDF format sent directly from our source with Title.  This list is complete, but things change on a daily basis - If you are truly wanting to be notified when something comes onto the market and when something in the RE/MAX of Santa Clarita and Paris911 Team marketplace falls off or goes pending, cancelled or expires, then you will need to go to http://MoreThanForeclosures.com - That is our site so you won’t need to worry about getting your inbox full of crap you did not want or order.

Tough Job - I understand the role of being a Police Officer for more than 17 years with the Los Angeles Police Department, I was full time and still remain a full line reserve officer, teaching Firearms/Tactics.

But since the Real Estate market has changed to become fed by Foreclosures and those defaulting on their loans, you can look everywhere on line, where we posted our Resume’ as being able to handle the banks and investors assets with the marketing of their foreclosures, and see that there is a huge call for Asset Managers, Senior Asset Managers, Eviction coordinators and pre-marketers.

We are tied with a few banks in the handling of their assets.  I have spoken with a lot of different folks from those different titles and have had both positive and negative experiences.

Asset Managers and even Senior Asset managers answer to someone.  They have a tough job - as do the Eviction coordinators and pre-marketers.  All are over whelmed and given more work daily.  No matter what their current workload, it seems to continue to be increased.  The banks and investors are attempting to maximize on their shareholders profits so we know where the squeeze takes place.  Our heart goes out to those in these positions, they are some of the hardest working in the Banking Industry.

On the other hand, you have the “arrogant” REO Agent, that is going to talk down to the asset managers and attempt to tell them how it is going to be.  “I’m sorry, since when do be bite the hand that feeds us?”  The REO Agent needs to take some of the work and stress from the Asset Managers, Pre Marketers, and the Eviction Coordinators by becoming a Responsible and Accountable Entity in the Foreclosure Game and not another “problem”.  However, some of the time they are not alleviating stress, but adding to the stress that is experienced by the Asset Manager.

We understand this, that is why we do our due diligence to make sure that we are covering all of our bases.  We also do not take any of the Asset managers for granted and get back to them in priority fashion.  If they pose a question, it is written that we are to respond within 24 hours.  It is my drive, as The Paris911 Team Leader, to have that cut down to a mere 24 minutes. If not in 24 minutes - Very soon Indeed.   I know how it is to need an update or something done sooner than later.  Why not get it done so the Asset Manager can move on to some other task.

Everyone answers to someone - I want to be, and we are, the types of Agents that are not ball droppers and make sure that our Asset Managers, pre marketers and eviction coordinators know that they are appreciated and they are constantly reminded of us being thankful for the relationship.  We don’t want to be another Stress in your already difficult and demanding job - But a Vindicator of sorts to help the process become something that gives you the confidence to persevere in your other tasks without having to worry about your agent not doing their JOB!

RE/MAX Asset Handlers

This list is from September 26 to October 17, 2008.  The latest list of Real Estate Owned Properties in the Santa Clarita Valley - Foreclosures. 

We at the Paris911 Team at RE/MAX want to keep you informed with how the market is fairing and what is the happenings that should concern you - So we have included the Current REO - Foreclosures attached here - just click.

Do you run, wish, dream, sleep or dependent on something illegal - or maybe something that is not illegal but takes it’s toll on your body.  What does this have to do with our Foreclosure Resources?

I’ll tell you.  If you have been in the sights if your lending institution because of some tragic, life changing event in your world where you cannot make your house payment or cannot earn enough money to survive - you are not along.

The one thing I will tell you from my point of view having been there and having experienced some pretty crappy times.  Try and focus on being thankful for something - no matter how small.  Try to find anything at all to be thankful for - Remember that this to shall pass and nothing remains the same.

Take time out to smell the air, look at the sky, feel the wind, or lack of it.  Make sure you are taking care of yourself.  If you have not ran in a long time and miss what the kids experience on a daily  basis, running just to run.  Then you might want to take some time in the mornings or late in the evenings to get out there and feel your lungs burn.  After a few days or a couple of weeks, it will be much easier.  

There is a lot of research done on the knee and joints with regard to their repeated exposure to the bone jarring that running adds to them.  But it works for me and I have come along way - I remember being much larger than I am now and I also remember what not having that endorphin rush felt like versus having it when I am finished with my Military Shuffle.
