I personally love selling homes in the Meadows because it allows me the chance to get away and breath the fresh air throughout my week. Last week I had to meet a handyman at one of my listings. I took my two-year-old son to the property in the evening. As we waited for the handyman my son played on the back patio as we watched the sunset and felt the breeze. What a beautiful evening! Below is a picture of the home I'm selling. Currently it is in escrow!

If you're looking to sell your home in the Meadows, check out Dave Knight's website page on the Meadows - Altadena.

The streets in The Meadows of Altadena include: Aralia, Rising Hill, El Prieto Rd., Canyon Crest, Gravelia, Cloverhill, Sunmore.

San Marino Home - For Sale by Owner on San Gabriel Blvd

Should you try to sell your home on your own?
Ricky and his mother Hui tried to sell their San Marino home "for sale by owner." After advertising it on various websites they became frustrated with the fact that they weren't getting qualified buyers through the doors but only calls from annoying real estate agents. The problem was that all the agents that called were promising to bring buyers but at the end of the day they were only using that promise as bait for an attempt to get a signed listing agreement.

There are great financial benefits to hiring a realtor as opposed to selling the home on your own. The problem is that most realtors don't know the value they have to offer. Ricky and Hui weren't looking for a pushy salesperson to force them into signing a contract. They were looking to make the best financial decision for THEMSELVES, which is what we all do when making business decisions.

It took me 20 minutes to show Ricky and Hui how I could net them more money at the end of the day than if they sold the home on their own. It made sense to them and they hired me. Within two weeks we had the property in escrow over asking price. It officially closed escrow last week.

If you are considering selling your San Marino, Pasadena, Altadena, La Canada, La Crescenta, South Pasadena or Alhambra home on your own, call 626.204.3352 to set up an appointment to see IF it makes sense to hire me.

Surfwood Townhouses in Pasadena California on Blanche and Cordova Condos

Surfwood Townhouses - Pasadena

There is a chance you have seen them, but maybe you haven't. If you are looking for a cape cod townhouse in Pasadena California then you can't get much better than the Surfwood complex off of Cordova, Wilson and Blanche street in Pasadena California.

There are a lot of condo and townhouse complexes in Southeast Pasadena. With the city college and Cal Tech there is a lot of activity and demand for housing.

These blue townhouses are at a great location. For more information on the Surfwood Townhomes Pasadena check out this site for information about selling or purchasing one of these units.

Why do I refer to these as condos? Well, they are actually townhomes but not many people know the difference between the two. The simple difference is that townhouses only share walls but with a condo you can have residents above or below your home.
