Carmel Valley Real Estate Inventory

for properties here in Carmel Valley. The number of Bank owned
homes has also dropped. Short sales continue to be a major part
of this market.

don't expect good values to remain on market for long periods.

The Real Estate Virtual Office and Going Green!

Technology is bringing big changes to the real estate industry. The days of the fixed location office or "brick and mortar" are going the way of the dinosaur. Our clients expect us to provide the best service possible. Todays virtual office allows us to meet these demands, plus save time and money for everyone involved. A virtual office means we have the capability to conduct business almost anywhere.

The good news for you? Sitting in a conference room for various reasons, viewing property, printing and signing forms etc are over. The vast majority of buyers start their home search online and have already spoken with their agent or broker about which properties they'd like to view. We can go straight to the fun part which is looking at property. With a netbook and 3G access, we can instantly access any additional data about a property you may need. Once you've found the home or property that interests you, you're free to take off and go do something fun. All the paperwork will arrive to you online. You can even electronically sign all your documents.

The technology we have at your disposal means a faster, more productive and fun home search experience for you. The added bonus is our reduced consumption of natural resources. We can consume far less paper, gas and electricity.

Of course, if technology scares you a bit, we can still accomodate you the old fashioned way. OnlyCarmelValleyHomes is committed to providing great service to our clients and we look forward to helping you find a wonderful property.

Preparing Your Home For Sale




Providing Reports, Inspections and Disclosures

Most people think home preparation is all about curb appeal, cleaning up the kitchen and baths and other areas buyers will view when they tour your property. That is important, but I'm talking about a different kind of preparation. Were going to talk about things the buyer can't see when he/she visits your home.

There are any number of inspections, reports and disclosures that accompany a home sale. Be proactive and display these completed items for possible buyers to review. This list could include Termite/pest, Preliminary title, Transfer Disclosure Statement, Natural & Environmental Hazards and permits for any additions/remodels. You may also have local issues like we have here in Carmel Valley. We would add Septic report and Water Conservation Certification. You may also want to consider having a Home Inspection of your own.

Every home sale includes a "due diligence" phase where all this documentation is provided for the buyer to review and approve. Don't let some unknown and costly problem arise and jeopardize the sale. By taking this easy step, you can "tighten up" the buyers time periods and removal of contingencies deadlines. Let's keep those buyers moving in the right direction, towards the close of escrow!

Place all this great information in nice folders and display on your kitchen counter. Now the buyers can focus on your fantastic home and not worry about what might be hiding!
