FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

flossing was efficacious but they did not disprove it either.

for patients to throw the report at their dentists at their next visit in fact some dentists may already have faced that confrontation.

To Floss or not to Floss?

Any interdental hygiene tool helps to keep the gums and teeth healthy.

It doesn’t have to be just floss, you can use a interproximal brush or a water flosser or any other gizmo.

Without it two of the five sides of the teeth are missing out from getting cleaned every day that is like not washing your feet and in between the toes when you are in the shower.

We don’t need a study to prove that is better for your health.

The American Dental Association has contacted the U.S.Department of health and human services to address its exclusion of flossing. In its official statement the American dental Association clarified that flossing was still considered a beneficial hygienic practice. The ADA statement did not make the news. The news business is all about creating a buzz.

Recently the media reported that flossing doesn’t help and your dentist is wrong. This single associated press report created such a big social media firestorm. Dentistry’s message of health was again foiled by a sensational story. It’s bad enough that dentists are portrayed as clowns and socially inept characters in Hollywood productions!

The media jumped at an opportunity to make everyone feel good about their dereliction of duties.

The report’s false implication that “flossing doesn’t work” resonates with the public because it confirms and justifies the decision not to floss in the first place and excuses someone’s lack of diligence with oral hygiene. It also opens the opportunity

The headlines like “Your Dentist was wrong, floss doesn’t work” resonate with the public listening to the radio while driving or watching tv at home.

When a patient floss’ or does not, the benefits are self-evident. A selftesting method will be to take a week off of flossing and then floss and take a look at the amount of food particles which have collected in between the teeth you will feel disgusted. The story what the media reported was based on a review of previous studies which may not have proved that

It’s my way of bridging charity with my work and also promotes the local community. I am also actively seeking opportunities for volunteerism.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOMEOWNERSHIP? Growing up, my family could not afford to buy a home and we, therefore, rented throughout my childhood. We moved to California from the Midwest when I was 11 years old, and with us came our family dog – but I called her my best friend. We struggled to find housing but were lucky to find a rental after living with other family members for a couple of months. Unbeknownst to me, the new lease disallowed dogs, which meant I had to leave my best friend behind. At that point, I literally hated the idea of renting and told myself I would always own my home as a grown-up.

After becoming an adult and purchasing a home in Brentwood, we adopted a puppy that was the exact breed, gender, and color of the dog I had once lost, and she became a part of our family.

Getting our puppy served as a form of redemption.

A New Place in Life WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT BRENTWOOD? When my wife and I moved here close to 20 years ago, there was a little over 20K people living in the community, now there’s more than three times that amount. I feel that the city’s growth builds on the richness and vitality of the community while at the same time maintains a hometown feel. Brentwood is a place of serenity and a great place to raise a family.

There is a real sense of community and people are very approachable. Families develop lasting friendships when coming together through school activities and community events. Things I personally enjoy are the Farmer’s Market, watching high school sports, and fun events like the Turkey Trot. I also like that Brentwood promotes an active lifestyle; which my wife and I take full advantage of by walking trails, biking the community, and enjoying hikes at Round Valley.

for a successful bank, I had a title, national responsibilities, perks, etc., but at the end of the day I felt there was a void. Time spent commuting and traveling on business began to wear on me. I wanted a career where I could be more authentic and engaged outside the office. Nelson Mandela once said: “There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living”, and I wanted more. So instead of a better office, I chose a better life. Now, I use my skills in ways that make a meaningful difference. Sure, it involves taking risks and stepping outside my comfort zone, but I now have the freedom to leverage my expertise and tap into community-based activities.

This just wasn’t possible for me while in corporate and commuting four hours every day – or said differently, 6 ½ weeks per year.

WHAT ARE SOME COMMUNITY RELATED ACTIVITIES YOU ARE INVOLVED IN? I currently sit on the Board of Directors for a nonprofit in San Francisco that focuses on helping underprivileged kids. The organization’s mission is to serve youth by providing life experiences that are outside of their immediate communities and to build skills that prepare them for college and the business world. Nearly 90% of the youth we serve live in low-income households and half of them reside in homes that are 300% below the federal poverty level. Working to uncover opportunities for these children resonates very deeply with me.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE THE CORPORATE LIFE? I think a lot of people can identify with becoming I also provide local clients the option to allocate a jaded by the corporate life. As a Director portion of my income to a charity of their choosing.

22 The Monthly Grapevine™ DELTA EDITION OCTOBER 2019

I believe everyone should have the ability to live in a place that affords them the freedom to live the lifestyle they truly want. This plays a part in my passion for helping people find a home that works for them and is the right fit for their family’s lifestyle.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO REAL ESTATE? I started in mortgages in the 90’s as a financial representative at a finance company - back when using typewriters and 10-key calculators for preparing deeds and loan documents were the norm. It was a great learning experience and I was extremely driven to be an expert in the field. I’ve always been good with numbers and was able to thrive in the financial services sector, becoming a home loan underwriter, Branch Manager and eventually transitioning into upper management.

MonthlyGrapevine.com

After being in residential lending over 20 years, real estate was a natural transition since I’ve always been so close to it and understand the mechanics of the business.

HOW DO YOU LEVERAGE YOUR CAREER EXPERIENCE? A big part of my responsibilities in leading large operations required identifying opportunities, creating value-adding strategies, skillfully negotiating contracts, and effectively executing on tasks to ensure a successful business outcome.

These skills clearly translate to helping clients effectively market or buy their home and allows me to negotiate on their behalf in a complex market.

Coming from a mortgage background allows me a chance to coach clients through every step of the process in order to guard against any unexpected surprises that could frustrate or delay the transaction. My ultimate goal in any relationship is to empower clients with knowledge through communication. This helps makes for a smoother process and allows for problems to be addressed quickly so that the client’s interests are protected.

WHAT ARE SOME THINGS CONSUMERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT A PURCHASE TRANSACTION? A purchase contract is made up of several significant parts that, if not structured optimally, can create undue frustration and stress throughout the transaction. According to the National Association of Realtors, over 80% of buyers and sellers didn’t truly understand the process or grasp why certain steps were required during the transaction. Part of this includes being aware of the many different parties involved in a transaction, their associated fees, and services.

Often times, they can address specific needs that are unique to your transaction.

WHAT’S YOUR TAKE ON THE CURRENT MARKET? My feeling is that we’re teetering on a buyer’s market. There are still pockets of active markets, however, there is evidence that the market has softened. That said, there are significant factors to note in the current environment: 1. Interest rates are at historical lows which improve housing affordability. For example, the average fixed rate of 3.5% in August 2019

compared with 4.2% of August 2018 is a difference of $200 per month (assuming $500K loan amount), which is a significant increase in buying power.

2. Consumer FICOs are at a record high, averaging a score of 706 which means more people are qualified for mortgages and at a better rate.

3. People have more equity built up in their homes than any other time in history, making it easy for current homeowners to secure a down payment on their next home purchase.

These factors suggest that the current market represents real opportunities for those looking to upsize, downsize, or find that “forever home”.

WHAT ARE YOU SEEING IN BUYER AND SELLER BEHAVIOR? As of today, things are a little mixed, but there are clear signs of the market softening. Even though rates are lower, buyers are a little more cautious about buying and feel they have more time to research to find the home they really want. “Coming Soons” offered by Compass is a great resource for potential buyers to see a vast selection of homes that are not yet available to the general market.

Sellers who recognize the realities of today’s market understand that in order to attract immediate attention, there must be a clearly defined strategy. Marketing their home to attract buyers is becoming a lot more competitive.

Sellers may need to be more flexible in the current environment than was necessary in a more robust market. We’re transitioning from a seller’s market so being strategic in creating exposure is important to having a home stand out.

Also, when negotiating, price is not always the only mechanism used to secure a transaction. A purchase transaction is made up of a variety of components which can be negotiated to help you get what you’re looking for from the sale.

Lastly, recognize that the best marketing tool is an accurate list price. Try to avoid missing the market by recognizing the dynamics of the local area. This can help you set reasonable expectations when looking to make an offer or when listing a home and may ultimately lead to a faster purchase or sale.

Compass helps by offering a unique Concierge program that can aid in differentiating homes from other homes on the market through cosmetic improvements. Things like landscaping, painting, staging – and more, is offered with no fees or out of pocket costs. This service has been shown in the Bay Area to reduce the number of days homes stay on the market while strengthening offers that come in.

WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS IN TODAY’S ENVIRONMENT? It’s important for buyers to have a clear understanding of what is motivating them to want to buy and use that as their guiding light when examining the market. In the most recent housing boon, many homes would move so quickly that buyers felt desperate to buy even if the home

TO ADVERTISE CALL 925-634-0880

didn’t address their critical wants or needs. Now that the market has shown signs of softening, buyers have more opportunities. Some obvious things to look at include the quality of schools, community features, and what best fits your stage of life but also look at the not-so-obvious things. For example, weigh the pros and cons of a variable rate vs a fixed rate in today’s climate, consider how much maintenance a home may require and the impact to your disposable income, etc. These kinds of items impact your quality of life and, if not considered, can create buyer’s remorse in the long run.

PATRICK MCCARRAN

Don’t Forget to Ask About Restrictive Covenants Homebuyers may not think of asking about restrictive covenants (CC&R’s). These clauses dictate what can and cannot be done to or on your property. When buyers purchase property governed by restrictive covenants, they consent to conduct their lives in accordance with those provisions.

A restrictive covenant is a type of deed restriction. It serves to regulate a real property and can apply to a group of new homes, existing homes or bare land. Developers use them to preserve a development or subdivision as a model community and control its use and appearance. Buyers agree to the sometimes rigid restrictions in order to maintain the aesthetic standard set by the developer and to safeguard the value of their homes.

Restrictive covenants should not be confused with local zoning and government regulations. In addition to

it’s likely that a committee would review the complaint, and then notify the homeowner. If the homeowner ignores the initial notice, he or she might receive a notice from an attorney. Legal action would be a last resort.

standard clauses, which may stipulate a home’s minimum size, height, architectural style, and color schemes, covenants often ban practices that could be regarded as aesthetically objectionable--such as parking, RVs, boats, non-running vehicles, and commercial vehicles on the property.

Covenants may additionally regulate grass height & color, window treatments, holiday decorations, walls, fences and hedges, as well as pets (some limit number and type of pets allowed). Very often, owners are required to make maintenance repairs within a specified number of days of initial notification.

Owners can be prohibited from installing solar panels, building an enclosed patio, installation of a satellite dish and adding a swimming pool. Restrictive covenants can also prevent owners from renting the home or operating a home business, including music lessons and daycare. Condo and townhouse owners sometimes face even more rigid restrictions.

What happens when a violation occurs?

It’s up to the homeowner’s association or individual property owners to enforce a covenant. Local authorities cannot enforce contractual agreements. Instead,

While most homeowners enjoy the quality of life resulting from restrictive covenants, some covenants may prevent you from living the life you planned.

Before committing yourself to a property, be certain that the restrictions align with your lifestyle.

Make your offer contingent on your review and approval of the restrictive covenants.

Ask to see a copy of the restrictive covenants and read through them carefully prior to removing your inspection contingency. Do not rely upon anyone else’s interpretation, read them for yourself or have a real estate attorney review them for you.
