Windstorm Cuts Through San Gabriel Valley

Local Events - 2 months ago

A fierce windstorm cut through the San Gabriel Valley late evening last Wednesday and into the morning on Thursday (November 30 and December 1). The wind blew over trees, electric poles, and debris that caused damage to cars, homes, sidewalks, and caused power outages throughout the area. Our office had power restored early Saturday morning but many of the busier streets still had broken signals. As of Saturday, newspapers were estimating that power would be restored by the end of the Sunday. The hardest hit areas were the cities of Arcadia, Pasadena, San Marino, South Pasadena, Temple City, Sierra... [Read More...]

Should the City Allow Arcadia Residents to Change Street Numbers?

For Sellers - 7 months ago

A few years ago, changing your address was easy for Arcadia residents – a few pieces of paperwork, a fee of about $500, and it was done. You could even change which street your house belonged on if your house was on a corner, if your home met the right conditions. Now, residents aren’t allowed to change street numbers because it creates too much burden and confusion for city officials who maintain many of their records, many that date back a few decades, using street addresses. So why do residents care about numbers and street names? In today’s Arcadia real estate market, many... [Read More...]

Closing Your Sale the Easy Way

For Sellers - 1 year ago

Even though every transaction has unique challenges, there are ways you and your agent can make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible to get you to an easy closing. Eliminating Surprise Costs and Issues Throughout the escrow process, sellers will provide both reports and disclosures to a buyer that are either required by law or used to ensure a safer transaction. The 3 reports that a seller will typically provide are: Natural Hazard Disclosure – Consists of a series of maps showing if the property is in a special hazard zone such as an earthquake zone, a flood zone, or a high fire... [Read More...]

The 5 Most Important Factors in Negotiating an Offer

For Sellers - 1 year ago

So you have an offer on your home, great! What’s important in the offer and how can you make the most of it? The Negotiation Starts Before the Offer is Written The truth is that even though two offers that may look exactly the same on paper, they can have very different amounts of negotiating room and very different chances of even closing. It’s important to understand the buyers who are making offers on your property more deeply than just financials and a loan approval. A couple good starting points are: Why are they moving? Are they upgrading/downgrading? Why? Is it because they have a new... [Read More...]

Maximizing the Selling Price of Your Home

For Sellers - 1 year ago

If there’s one key to getting the highest price for your home, it’s exposure. As with selling anything, the more customers who are willing to pay for a product, the higher the price the product will demand. In addition to the number of buyers who go through the home, the features, benefits, and condition all have an effect on what a buyer is willing to pay. Buyers who see your home as being different, unique, or special are willing to pay more for it to outbid other buyers. So the two biggest questions that your real estate agent should be able to answer are: How do I get as highest number... [Read More...]

What Past Clients Are Saying About Us

"I was extremely happy working with Mark. I know that I would not have gotten better service with any other agent. I could always depend on him to come through and highly recommend him."
-Shila G., Pasadena CA

"Weeks after I purchased a condominium in Arcadia, my living situation changed and I had to sell it immediately. In less than 30 days through his aggressive marketing campaign, Mark obtained multiple offers for my condominium. One offer was an all cash offer and amounted to $32,000 more than I purchased the home for. I credit his work ethic, his professionalism, and his perseverance for the successful sale of my home. You will not find a real estate agent who works harder for his clients than Mark."
- Ying Pei, Arcadia CA

"Mark helped me negotiate an amazing price for my first home. A few months after I bought my condominum, a very similar unit in the complex in worse condition sold for much much more than I paid. It was my first home buying experience and Mark walked me through all the details of the process and was always accessible for my questions. I couldn't have asked for more."
- Stanford Huang, Arcadia CA
