In the dynamic world of real estate, success is often synonymous with collaboration and networking. One entrepreneur's journey beautifully exemplifies the incredible impact of connecting with like-minded individuals in the field. For me, the real estate community is not just a marketplace; it's a tightly-knit network of professionals who actively support each other to thrive. Through this thriving network, I had the opportunity to join forces with remarkable talents like Marcus Jackson Photography, Rob Sogomonian of the media company, and Scott Bigelow, the visionary behind Basset Wine. Thanks to Steve Margolis and Real Estate Guide Magazine, my business found an exceptional real estate marketing platform in our local area. This valuable exposure has greatly benefited my brand and success within the real estate community. The synergy of these partnerships has proven to be a game-changer for my business marketing efforts. Marcus Jackson Photography brought an artistic eye that elevated property visuals, Rob Sogomonian harnessed the power of media to broadcast the brand's unique story, and Scott Bigelow's expertise in the world of wine offered a delightful touch to client interactions. It's not just about the individual successes; it's about the collective strength of this vibrant community. These collaborations are more than just transactions; they represent an exchange of knowledge, creativity, and support that is truly priceless for real estate professionals and their brand. Intriguingly, the initial connections with these talented individuals and many others were forged through the cornerstone of my real estate success – the weekly real estate meetings in Walnut Creek and Danville. These gatherings serve as a nexus for ideas, camaraderie, and opportunity. The networking power inherent in these meetings has, without a doubt, been the driving force behind my flourishing business in 2023. Real Estate Guide exemplifies that in the world of real estate, the key to success lies in the ability to collaborate, network, and harness the collective genius of the community. Their story is a testament to the transformative power of unity within the real estate industry. Discover more inspiring stories like this in our magazine, where we celebrate the achievements and innovations within the ever-evolving real estate community.

UNDERSTANDING HOME INSPECTIONS By Patrick McCarran ~ Real Estate Broker
Purchasing your home is one of the biggest thrills of your life, but it can also quickly become overwhelming. Whether you are buying a new or a resale home it is important that you look underneath the staging, perfect floorplan, or location and see what may be hiding that could impact your dream home and pocketbook. Enter the home inspector. A home inspector performs a basic physical inspection of the structure and systems of your prospective home. This means that while you may love the beauty of the living room’s wood floors, your inspector can tell if the floor will truly last. The home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from roof to foundation. The inspection will determine not only the present condition of the home, but also help foresee any immediate or future necessary additional costs that may go unnoticed by the untrained eye. Home inspections start at around $500 depending generally on the size of the home. I believe it’s money well spent.
A standard home inspector’s report will cover the basic condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; visual of the roof, visual of the attic and insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement and structural components. I have always viewed a home inspection much like a visit to the doctor for a physical from a general practitioner, if there are any problems or concerns you are referred to a specialist such as a cardiologist. A home inspection works in a similar manner, if there is a concern about the foundation you are recommended to a structural engineer, plumbing to a plumber etc. The inspection will show the positive and negative aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After an inspection you should have a much clearer understanding of the value and needs of the property. I think it is important to note that even if a house needs repairs, it shouldn’t always be the cause for getting out of a
sale. No house is perfect and as long as you know ahead of time what needs to be done and are comfortable with the cost and possibly the ramifications, knowing about an issue before closing gives you the peace of mind before you close or often make an offer. The home inspection can give you a great starter list of what needs to be done to really make moving in that much easier. Don’t be shy about asking questions and getting a clear understanding. I would like to note that home inspectors are not licensed or certified by the State so do your research to make sure your inspector is qualified. I recommend that they are members of an association with certification criteria and a standard of practice such as ASHI. Patrick McCarran is a local Realtor and Broker DRE# 01325072.

Of course, the market stabilized and today prices are now much higher than they were during the 2006-7 hot market. Much of the heat was applied by government forces. No income and stated income loans were easy to get, and the interest rates were less (6 to 7%) than the appreciation of price levels of the homes. People stood in lines, took chances on lottery schemes to buy homes not yet built, ‘investors’ went to seminars to learn how they could learn to flip homes that were not yet even built.
LET’S LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! Starting this short article, I feel that I must state the obvious. Home prices are up and continuing to be expensive even though many people are being prices out of the market. To this point, home sellers have not yet been convinced that prices might be out of line with the state of the economy. Home Buyers are fighting the condition of what appears to be mortgage interest rates that are excessive, especially given the cost of day-to-day expenses and the pocketbook is stretched to the limit. The general feeling is that there may be no way out of the conditions we are currently experiencing these days. Many of us remember the real estate crash of 2008. As we neared the first bottom of the market (there were 2 downward spikes, the 2nd in 2010) the feeling was similar. People were selling at whatever price they could get as the deceleration of the decline appeared to be non-stop and rapid. ‘Experts’ were advising that people should walk away from their obligation as the prices were heading to land value of less. Despite all the ‘help’ financial institutions were offering, people ran away from housing. At the time, there were plenty of homes on market and moving to a rental seems to be the smart thing to do. Sadly, even people who had owned homes for over 20 years were part of the panic and also lost their homes, often moving out of fear rather than good sense. These were scary times and lasted for a much longer period than they should have.
But that is not today. The markets are very different. I recommend that you ignore the commercials, advice from ‘experts’ that brag on their systems that could get you a home or sell your home, often with guarantees that hold no water. HOMEBUYERS! Here is the truth. Mortgage interest rates are high. However, the current rates hovering around 8% will not last forever; but they may go higher. They also are not forever. Using interest rates as an excuse is like standing on the pyre and complaining about the cold. There are always other options to explore, and the markets will adapt to find a comfortable place for you to be. HOMESELLERS! Prices have held on for an extended period. This also will not last forever. If you are staying because you do not want to trade your 3% mortgage interest rate for one that is higher. You need to look at other options that consider the entire impact of a sale and purchase of your home. Moving today really is not much more difficult than any other time once you have set up a plan. It is still a difficult thing to do. HOMEBUYERS AND HOMESELLERS! Interest rates should not be the only consideration that determines your move. There are dozens of reasons that drive the your move, and they all need to be considered. Another fact that Is very important. It will be a very long time before we see a 3 or 4% mortgage interest rate again. It took 30 years of time for the economy to see it. I expect that we will not see it for at least another. Finally, markets correct themselves and the real estate market is no different. If governments try to ‘fix’ them, just look at what they have done today.

INTERACTIVE
VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE TOUR What are some of the perks of doing a Virtual Real Estate Open House?
Current or potential customers can virtually tour the home from any device at their convenience ~ 24/7.
Without a doubt, virtual open houses lead to greater opportunities to connect with your prospects or leads because of three main reasons: • It expands your reach: Virtual open houses no longer just serve the needs of locals who come to see the home in-person. Hosting open houses online means that your videos can be viewed without limitations of time or space. All it takes is a link to be shared out for another opportunity to be created.
Fully interactive experience (not video), similar to Google Street View.
• You can offer the convenience of anytime, anywhere: You can save you and your buyers time from having to travel and coordinate schedules to meet. Virtual tours are viewable until the day the property closes escrow. • Buyers will want the option: Not everyone is interested in commuting to see a house in person for the first time. Occasionally, buyers will be more interested to vet a potential investment by first scanning it online. Whether or not social distancing enforcements are making it mandatory for you to only conduct virtual tours or not, having these be a part of your practice can help you filter out non-serious leads as it encourages only serious buyers to approach for further information.

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.
