Are you Frustrated with Lake Arrowhead’s Real Estate Market? If you are, you are not the only one. There are buyers and sellers out there every day wondering what is the correct course of action for them. The seller who is faced with his property going up side down in today’s market and knowing that it will take days and weeks to sell his property is wondering whom to turn to. While the buyer wants to invest but is not sure prices are at their low so they are looking for expertise to help them understand. The problem becomes more difficult in a resort market such as the Lake Arrowhead Real Estate. For the seller, the exposure of the home is limited to buyers who are looking to invest in a 2nd home for weekend or vacation use; or the buyer that has decided they want to live in a less congested quieter community. And a buyer is faced with the drive to a resort area that is some distance from their home to look for property. These problems become less significant when one works with a person who is familiar with the area and knows the market through experience and participation in it, such as Bob Carroll. A knowledgeable Real Estate broker can help a seller or a buyer understand the market and work with them to achieve their goal. For the seller, the broker can help them sell their property in the shortest time and at the maximum price. While a buyer, looking to invest in an area, working with a broker is immediately informed about the area, the market and shown the best properties for the price they are looking to spend. Bob Carroll has been a licensed Real Estate Broker since 1986 and has worked in Lake Arrowhead Real Estate for the last 12 years. Bob has the required expertise and is able to apply his background to helping clients achieve their goals. Joining Coldwell Banker Sky Ridge Realty eight years ago Bob has been able to support his clients in a manner that most other offices cannot provide. Available to me, as tools to conduct my business, while working with clients is the latest in technology and information. Few other firms in the area have the capability, or funds to provide the tools necessary to serve the client in the manner available through Coldwell Banker Sky Ridge Realty. Bob’s approach in working with a seller is to insure maximum exposure for the property through the Internet, Mailings, Telephone, Advertising, Multiple Listing Service and Open Houses. Maximum exposure insures that buyers looking in the area are made aware of the property and have an opportunity to visit the property and compare it to others. When a buyer comes to me to assist them in finding a home, I immediately establish a price range, size of home, planned usage and other special features they are looking for. Given the information, I can then layout a number of properties fitting their criteria. In a very short period of time the buyer generally finds the property they are looking for in the range they are looking to invest in. Once a buyer is found for a seller’s home or the right property for a buyer, then I make their selling and buying experience as simple and pleasant as possible. Advising the seller on their responsibilities in selling the home and arranging for the escrow and the necessary inspections. The process is kept as simple as possible and completed in the shortest period of time. For the buyer, I make them aware of their rights in the process and their exposure should they need to change their minds. Again, for the buyer I do my utmost to make the experience as pleasurable and satisfying as possible. The market is slowing or has bottomed out at this time making it a great time to invest, particularly with interest rates continuing to stay low. But, for how long this situation will last is anyone’s guess. Buyers should be looking now to take advantage of the interest rates; they are bound to go up. Sellers also benefit from the lower interest rates. It allows buyers to come into the market at a higher value and less exposure. We all know there will be a change and it’s important that both buyers and sellers are informed on the market conditions and can plan accordingly. So, minimize your risk in today’s market by talking with me, you won’t be disappointed. |
