Martina’s Corner: If you love what you do for a living, it’s not really work.

Written by jbobbett2 on .

If you love what you do for a living, it’s not really work. How many times have you heard this saying? Real Estate has always been a work of love to me rather than a job. Close to 25 years of helping people attain their dreams brings me great joy. This year I feel has been the busiest year ever, with so many homes needing a make-over before we put them on the market. Having an owner place his or her complete trust in me to make the right decisions on repairs, improvements,...

A golden outcome: Key home improvements in short time span yield multiple offers, happy seller

Written by jbobbett2 on .

With only a 12-day window in which to complete our latest project, we had our work cut out for us. We had a pretty significant list of items that needed a little TLC. We refinished the hardwood floors, which date back to the home’s construction in 1956. We also installed new tile in the master bathroom. A fresh coat of paint is one of the best things you can do to immediately give new life to a room. We repainted the interior including the kitchen cabinets. We also made...

A golden opportunity in Golden Hills: Can we stay under budget and on-schedule?

Written by jbobbett2 on .

At Bobbett and Associates, we do all we can to help our clients see the highest return on their investments, and we do so by advising them on key improvements they can make upon listing their home that enable us to ask a higher asking price than we might otherwise be able to. Our latest renovation project is an exciting one. We were called by an out-of-area property owner who was looking to sell a very special house – a property in the Golden Hills neighborhood that’s been...

Realtor Redux: Long-time rental property gets ready for market

Written by jbobbett2 on .

At the Redux Realtors our aim is to help our clients make strategic improvements to their homes so they can reap the highest return on their investment once the home hits the market. With our most recent project, a home with an out-of-state owner that’s been a rental property for the past 15 years, we’ve identified several “strategic” improvements that are necessary and a few of them may be costly. The biggest item on our list is a new roof. The new roof will cost several...

Realtor Redux: Owner impressed, proud of major transformation at amenity-rich La Habra home

Written by jbobbett2 on .

We’re back at the amenity-rich home in the cul-de-sac, and it’s hard to believe this is even the same house! Located in La Habra, this house had been occupied by the owner for 38 years. That’s a lot of memories, but also a lot of wear-and-tear on the carpets. New carpets were on the top of our list with this Realtor Redux. We had new carpeting installed in the living / dining room and in the upstairs save for the master bedroom where the carpets were only 2 years old. While...

Do photos on your real estate listing show your house or condo in the best light?

Written by jbobbett2 on .

As real estate agents in Fullerton, we spend quite a bit of time scouring photos on the CRMLS. We like to share our favorite photos each week in our “Upcoming Open Houses” feature. Occasionally, photos we come across leave us feeling a bit perplexed. Sometimes the photos are blurry or focused so closely on an object in the house, such as a vase of flowers, that they lack a greater context. Other times the there’s so much clutter in the photos or the house is vacant and lacks...

Fullerton Realtor explains ‘range pricing’ benefits, disadvantages

Written by jbobbett2 on .

If you’ve toured any open houses lately, perhaps you’ve noticed some of the houses for sale list a price range as opposed to a firm number. This is a fairly common practice in the North Orange County real estate market. Sometimes Realtors and real estate agents will “range” their listings by as much as $100,000 depending on the property’s price point. Here at Redux Realtors we’ve found that for home sellers there are many advantages to range pricing, particularly when a...
