#KeriTV - Getting “REAL” about real estate

It is now officially week two of the coronavirus #quarantine here in Los Angeles, CA. Despite the fact many businesses and markets have been shut down, the real estate market continues to move. Things such as virtual tours and the Matterport 3D walking tours have allowed buyers and sellers to continue to buy and sell while practicing safe distancing procedures and following local regulations. As of today, prices are still pretty strong but expect to see a dip in the coming days due to the ongoing #coronavirus news.

If you are a buyer trying to get a deal, the coming weeks would be a great time to make it happen. Sellers will be ready to unload and as a buyer, you should be ready to buy. Watch this week’s full episode of #KeriTV to learn the latest coronavirus (COVID-19) real estate market update.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has officially been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). What was once a virus that was only affecting individuals in China has now become a global crisis. As the coronavirus continues to spread across the world, the fear and panic is beginning to affect several industries including the real estate market. Global events impact the real estate market and the latest coronavirus pandemic is no different.

Just how much is the coronavirus affecting the real estate market? As of today, not much. While the coronavirus will surely impact the real estate market, the effect will most likely be small and brief. Mansion Global has reported that approximately 20% of home buyers are indeed holding off from any real estate transactions due to the coronavirus news, but the remaining 80% are still moving forward and have not been affected with their purchase decisions. Amidst the coronavirus chaos, the #realestate market is still moving.

Watch this week’s full episode of KeriTV to learn how the #coronavirus is impacting the real estate market!

Structuring your offer to purchase a home can be quite complex. While everybody loves a bargain, trying to lowball the seller can actually backfire and cause you to eventually lose the deal on a home you really wanted. With the recent closing of 12329 Gorham in Brentwood, we structured the offer in such a way that the seller would be enticed, and the result was the winning offer.

The West Side real estate market in Los Angeles is very competitive. As soon as we submitted an offer for the client, overnight another offer came in. Nonetheless, due to the fact we structured our offer really well, we managed to close the deal. Watch this week’s full episode of KeriTV as Tony Barsocchini and me, provide insight on how to structure your offer when buying a home.

California’s severe housing shortage is driving up rents, which as a result is leaving many lower to middle-income families struggling to stay in neighborhoods they once could afford.

When you combine both events and you must sell your home while going through a divorce, it can be an overwhelming and difficult experience.

Check out this week’s full episode of KeriTV to learn why hiring a great real estate agent can actually help you save or get you more money than by doing things all on your own.

For those of you familiar with the Los Angeles real estate market, we all know Santa Monica is not the most affordable place to live. As a matter of fact, it is among the most expensive areas in Los Angeles. So when I received a referral who was looking for a 3 bedroom home or 2 bedroom 2 bath loft in Santa Monica for under one million dollars, I thought it would take quite some time (if ever) to find such a deal. So when a property to their preference actually became available, it was an unexpected surprise but I knew we had to jump on that property despite the buyers not being fully ready to make the purchase.

Find out the full story of how these buyers were able to receive such a bargain in Santa Monica and why it is important to be in the right frame of mind when you are looking to purchase a home on this week’s episode of KeriTV!

I have been lucky to have been a part of many deals in my 15 year real estate career. Yet one of the top three most challenging deals of my career happened just a few weeks ago. Dealing with a sale contingency is difficult enough, but having to deal with TWO seller contingencies in one single transaction was quite the mission.

For those unfamiliar with seller contingencies, a home sale contingency is one type of possibility clause included in a real estate deal contract. With a home sale contingency in place, the transaction is dependent/contingent upon the sale of the buyer’s home. If the buyer’s house sells by the specified date, the deal moves forward but if it doesn’t sell by the specified date…the contract is terminated. Find out the details of one of the most challenging deals of my career and why it’s important to work with someone who is experienced with seller contingencies on this week’s episode of #KeriTV!
