STEVE HILL and his “2ND MILE SERVICE” Team

BRE#01065494

E-mail: SteveHillSellsHomes@msn.com

WANT AN AGENT WHO ISN’T AFRAID to PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS?

Real estate agents are NOT all the same! There’s a reason why the following call Steve Hill to represent them when they buy or sale a home: Real estate agents from OTHER companies, brokers, loan officers, commercial real estate agents, attorneys, & real estate attorneys (including law firm partners):

It’s the “2nd Mile” Service . . . plus the 27 years of success negotiating buyer/seller contracts in Contra Costa, Alameda, and Solano Counties for MLS & non-MLS properties, REOs (foreclosures), pre-foreclosures, new construction, probate homes, short sales, corporate relocation homes, HUD homes, BMRs, and more. It’s a competitive market out there! Multiple offers are still the norm. Perhaps all the examples of Steve helping low-down-payment buyers beat out higher-priced offers—including higher-priced cash offers—may or may not be compelling to you, but this should be:

If you use Steve as your buyer’s agent and face multiple offers and then lose out to an offer with similar (or worse) price and terms as yours, Steve will PAY YOU money! NO KIDDING!!! P.S. Do you see anyone else with this performance guarantee?

The Election and Real Estate This article is being written on the day after the national election. There were a lot of things passed (and not passed) that will have an impact on real estate in California Proposition 5 – The ability for seniors to transfer their tax base to a new home. This proposition failed in the election. As a result, people living in homes they do not need but can afford due to the low tax assessment will remain in them for a longer period of time, thus reducing the availability of homes for sale to other families. There will be a slowdown in the turnover/velocity of these properties thus causing a continued shortage of available properties for sale; the net result will be higher prices on home that might be more reasonably priced if more came to market. Proposition 6 – The elimination of the most recent gasoline tax increase. This proposition also failed to pass. The result is that the already high price of gasoline will go up again on the 1st of the year. As people must commute longer distances due to the lack of employment closer to home, the costs may keep people from being able to purchase a home at all. Certainly budgeting for energy is becoming a real thing in California as prices for all types of energy are going up. Proposition 10 – Statewide Rent Control. This proposition was designed to have every city have a local rent control that had the power to set rents for all residential properties within their boundaries. The additional burden of this would be that the landlords would have to pay a 2½% fee to these boards to be applied to the construction of low cost housing. Luckily, this proposition failed. It would have had a disastrous effect on rental and investment properties, reducing availability, eliminating any new construction and making it more difficult and expensive for families to find a place to live in a state where this is already a severe problem in many areas. Bond Issues – 2 bonds issues passed (Proposition 1 and 4). These bonds will be paid back from the general fund which already has more debt to pay than income to make payments. The state will either have to cut back on spending in other areas or to raise taxes in order fund these expenditures. Proposition 12 – Farm Animals Confinement Standards. This proposition will increase the costs of food production which will increase the costs of food across the state, either by the California producers raising their prices to consumers or by having food shipped from out of state producers (which probably would not have implemented the California standards). The net result, higher food costs with no real benefit to the animals that this proposition aims to protect. High food costs will have to be budgeted by families to see how much residual income that may be left to purchase a home. In many cases today, there may be opportunities to purchase a home in our area right now. We are holding a seminar, ‘Navigating a Changing Real Estate Market’ on December 3rd in Brentwood. Give up a call at 925-308-7045 or drop us an email at caseteam@intero.com. We will put together a personal plan for you based upon your needs and situation.

Susan has been an absolute blessing to Allan & I. She was there every step of the way, and went above and beyond the duty of a real estate professional. She is number 1 in my book! She truly is the best in the business. I highly recommend her in the sale of one’s home. I give her a diamond over 5 stars. ~Alison Roby

We had the pleasure of working with Susan Redgrave on the sale of our home in Brentwood. The experience, which can be stressful, was overwhelmingly positive, thanks entirely to Susan. She put together an effective plan that took us from preparing the house through to closing, and each step along the way was clearly laid out and explained fully. Any questions that we had along the way were answered quickly, & accurately, and always with patience, and a positive attitude. Susan did an excellent job of communicating progress, timing, next steps, and etc., during the entire process. She took on the burden of coordinating painters, landscapers, carpet cleaners, house cleaners and stagers, who transformed the home into an attractive and desired property. She hosted a brokers tour and held open houses, which generated additional interest in the home. We ended up with multiple offers, all over the asking price. This allowed us to select the one that we thought was the best fit for the neighborhood. She even helped us on the purchase of our new place, by offering insight and advice on properties that we were looking at. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is thinking of selling, or buying, in the Brentwood area. Besides being fun, and easy to work with, she is the epitome of professionalism, is extremely hard-working, and an excellent communicator. it was the easiest real estate transaction that I've been a part of. ~Allan Roby My sister and I had to sell our mother's house as she recently passed. We chose Susan Redgrave at Dudum Realty based upon a recommendation from a friend of mine. We could not have been in better more capable hands. Susan handled everything. She was very prompt, excellent communication and she acted professionally at all times. She let us make our own decisions but chimed in and offered advice and direction when we needed it. In the past I have worked with other real estate agents and normally they take a look around, create a list of things that need to be done to make the house attractive and place all that responsibility squarely in the laps of the seller. Susan was not like that. She found things that needed to be addressed and she took the lead and fixed them. She had many contacts that would come over and fix things immediately. My sister and I live 45 min to an hour away from Brentwood and we found Susan's help invaluable. Bottom line we got multiple offers and sold the house above asking price due to the abilities that Susan and Dudum Realty offers. I would highly highly recommend Dudum and Susan. In fact I have already done so with my children's mother who is moving out of Brentwood soon. If you are looking to sell or buy in the Brentwood and surrounding areas, you cannot go wrong in choosing Dudum Realty and Susan Redgrave. She is fantastic. ~Scott Harms

SO LD

My wife and I feel Susan had went and continues to go above and beyond all expectations. We felt at times she was a mind reader. She was very accommodating to our schedule which was greatly appreciated. She always had our best intentions in mind. We can't say enough about Susan and how well we were treated through the entire process. She even dropped off cookies for Easter. She made us feel special. ~Andy & Cedez

Wrapping Your Home for the Holidays By Patrick McCarran Real Rstate Broker

If it is necessary to list your home in the winter then festive decorations can really set the tone. This is a time when you can showcase your house in a unique way to highlight areas that normally may not stand out. By creating a festive atmosphere, a home seller allows perspective buyers to envision what their holidays will be like in the property—complete with a beautifully trimmed tree, stockings hung from the fireplace mantel, the twinkling of lights and the smell of Christmas cookies in the air. That being said I am not suggesting that you channel Clark Griswold in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” As with all staging less is generally more. You do not want to overwhelm the buyer or distract form the homes features merely highlight them. Buyers often will associate a sense of ‘home’ through the traditions and memories of holidays past. Through tasteful decorations you can bring those memories out and it is a great way to attract buyers. Nighttime is when many perspective buyers are driving around looking at houses, and nothing will slow them down more than a great Christmas light display. “A well-designed display adds festive elegance to a home, and highlights the already-present features of the property,” said Brandon Stephens, vice president of Marketing at The Decor Group, Inc., Lubbock, Texas, specializing in interior and exterior holiday decorating. This doesn’t have to be an over the top contest worthy event. A straight forward light display and a few lawn decorations such as Frosty coupled with large ornaments in the trees can turn almost any yard festive. Don’t forget to highlight the for sale sign as well, a few lights and maybe some well placed decorations. Embrace the holidays by holding a twilight open house, when your agent can serve hot chocolate and Christmas cookies to show off the Christmas lights, holiday decorations and all that the house has to offer. Here are some simple suggestions to ensure your home captures the holiday spirit without interfering in the real estate process: • Keep decorations to a minimum so you don’t block views, make rooms feel smaller and disrupt the natural flow of the home. • Consider a smaller tree and store most of the gifts in another room. • Incorporate fresh evergreen or rosemary into your decorating for a classic look and to promote “the Christmas tree smell.” • Make sure light strings and extension cords are tucked away for everyone’s safety. • Try to avoid overly religious or cultural decorations to keep it neutral so a greater number of buyers will see it as their potential home. • Leave a plate of holiday cookies and warm cider or cocoa for prospective buyers with a holiday note.

The holidays are emotional times for many people, including home shoppers. Holiday decorations presented tastefully and sensibly, can help you wrap a bow on your home for just the right buyer.

1. Magazine readership has increased over the last 5 years in the United States. 2. 93% of all American adults read magazines regularly. 3. Magazines usually stay in homes and offices for weeks and months (with ads being looked at again and again) while internet ads can disappear into cyberspace in the blink of an eye. 4. Reading a magazine remains a uniquely intimate and immersive experience. 5. Not only is magazine readership up, but readers spend an average of 43 minutes per use. 6. Further, those 43 minutes of attention are typically undivided. Magazines and magazine ads garner the most attention: BIGresearch studies show that when consumers read magazines they are much like to engage with other media or to take part in non-media activities compared to the users of TV, radio or the Internet. 7. Magazines delivers more ad impressions that TV or Web in each half-hour period. 8. Magazine readership in the 18 to 34 segment is growing. 9. Magazines are the No. 1 medium of engagement - across all dimensions measured. Simmons' Multi-Media Engagement Study finds magazines continue to score significantly higher than TV or the Internet in ad receptivity and all of the other engagement dimensions, including "trustworthy" and "inspirational". 10. Magazines outperform other media in driving positive shifts in purchase consideration/intent. 11. Magazines rank No. 1 at influencing consumers to start a search online - higher than newer media options. 12. Magazines reach specific audiences. The only people who pick up this Real Estate magazine are people interested in real estate(buying, selling, etc.).
