Traci's Your Realtor for it all...

Traci's your San Luis Obispo Realtor for it all...

Yesterday I got a call from a potential buyer who found my information on a sign I have at my listing on Royal Way in San Luis Obispo. Anne called to learn more about my listing and she was asking all the right questions.  We got into the property details and she was happy to hear all of the information I was giving her about the property.  But, as we were talking, I was not only giving her info she was asking about but I was asking her questions to get a sense of what her objectives are in her next home purchase.


But the reason for this Blog post is because while I was talking to Anne I wasn't just regurgitating the information about the home. Rather, we got into discussing the current housing market and the pro's and con's of living in the San Luis Obispo area.  I want my current and future clients to know that my job as your Realtor is to not only helping you find a home but to be a beacon for ALL aspects of housing.  That can include current housing market, moving, repairs, consultants, San Luis Obispo city & county items, schools, local amenities and calendar events in the area.  It's my job to be "In the Know".   I'm happy to share my knowledge and information to better your life and your families life.  Let me be your resource for these things.  I am just a phone call away.  In the epic words of Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, " Help me , Help you..."

Your realtor is your resource for your neighborhood and lifestyle!

Why Would You Pay Down Points?

Paying Points
As a new home buyer you have to make many decisions. Buying a home can feel like a daunting task. As your real estate agent, I am here to guide you to get the information you need. You have many decisions to make including what is the best possible percentage rate can you get to keep your mortgage payment low. I have had some clients ask about points, what the benefits are and when is the best possible time to pay them.

Lets start with the definition:
The term points has multiple meanings in the mortgage world. Mortgage points can refer to loan origination fees (fees charged by the underwriter) or discount points (also known as loan discounts). Typically, a point is equal to 1% of the purchase price. By using a Mortgage Calculator you can see how paying money upfront to pay down your interest rate can lower your mortgage payment. The difference in savings over the life of the loan can make paying points a benefit to the borrower. Using a Mortgage Calculator can determine what and how many points you would need to pay down to get the interest rate and monthly payment you are looking for.

When should you pay down points?
If you intend to stay in your home for an extended period of time, it may be worthwhile to pay additional points in order to obtain a lower interest rate. The amount of money you save over an extended period of time will off set the upfront costs you made at the beginning.  Paying points on a short term investment or residence doesn't make financial sense to do.

New Years Business Resolutions for 2011

Starting out the new year with solid goals is like a fresh start to the entire year. My goal this year is to be more efficient with how I run my business in Real Estate and how I work with my San Luis Obispo buyers & sellers. As a Real Estate agent I need to stay focused and remind myself what is important in every day business life.

Below are thoughts about ways to be more efficient in Real Estate or any business you are in. Following these focus steps will lead you towards better efficiency and profitability in your business.

1. Resolve to create a profile of your ideal customer and stick to it. Figure out who you can best serve and use this understanding as a guide for determining who to work with and who to refer on.
2. Commit to working with only your ideal customers for this year. You'll feel happier and your business will be more joyful.
3. Promise yourself to make business decisions guided by your heart, head and finances. Too much of any one is not good but a little of all three can be very helpful when considering new opportunities or approaches.
4. Agree to let yourself be known. Get more comfortable with promoting yourself and your business and let people know who you are and what you do.
5. Tend to your current best customers and ask for referrals to more customers just like them. This is the fastest and easiest way to grow your business.
6. Freshen up your marketing strategies. Try a new marketing approach, especially if it makes you stretch. Keep yourself on the growing edge and keep refining your marketing.
7. Learn something new. Seeking out new knowledge and new methods can keep you feeling interested and enthusiastic even with the occasional ups and downs of business.
8. Master a positive mindset. Keep your mind free of self doubt, worry, or fear. You can achieve what you desire or else you wouldn't want it in the first place.
9. Ask for help. Allow others to mentor, guide, support and coach you to reach your goals. The journey is better when it's shared. And it's more likely you'll get there - with help, than on your own.
10. Savor your accomplishments. What's the point of continually achieving business milestones if you never savor the feeling of accomplishment? The more you enjoy your business success, the more success you will have to enjoy.

I wish you all the very best 2011. Let's make this year the most profitable and satisfying one yet.
Now go out and take over the world!
