Ripon Home for Sale | Ripon Real Estate

Homes for Sale in Ripon, a LAFS (love-at-first-sight) property:



Ripon Home on the MLS - Listed by PMZ Real Estate

 
Ripon Homes on the MLS, link (Ripon real estate link, valid for the next 30 days).











The following criteria were used in the real estate search:

• Custom Home
• One Story Home
• Between Kaiser Manteca and Kaiser Modesto
• 4 mile radius real estate search from Ripon High School
• Price range of the home search is between $250,000 to $600,000

The real estate property is in Ripon CA, which is between Manteca and Modesto.

It would be good to have an 'excuse' (home buyers) so as to call the home owner selling the home.  I happen to be in town this weekend.  There is a Gallo performance and a HOA meeting I have to attend this weekend.  Other than that, I'm free.

The home price listed on the MLS is $465,000 as of 4/6/2011 and is listed by PMZ Real Estate.

Ripon one story home in Spring Creek Meadows, near Country Club.

Home Owners: Would You Like to be Paid to Get a House Sitter While Your (Way) Above-Median Priced, Not Short Sale, Not Bank-Owned, MLS-Active Home is on the Real Estate Market?

After posting the real estate home for rent in my real estate Modeto blog and looking at the fleur de Ville Modesto real estate homes for sale on the MLS, I am thinking (warning: brainstorming moment to follow) -

Will sellers of the fleur de Ville custom homes in Northwest part of Modesto consider renting their fleur de Ville homes, along with the many benefits:

1.  Get paid (rental income) to cover the real estate property taxes.
2.  Have a house sitter for the (otherwise) vacant home.
3.  Write off the expenses including:  mortgage interest while the mortgage interest deduction lasts, property tax, property management expenses, other expenses for the real estate agents (if any) since the home for sale is now an income investment property.
4.  Make an agreement with the renter to continue showing the real estate.
5.  Have the renter take care of the lawn services at the renter's expense (possibly).
6.  Same as above, but replace 'lawn service' by 'electricity', 'water and sewer', etc.
7.  Rent out part of the home, such as 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms, instead of the entire house (5-6 bedrooms, 3plus bathrooms) so the rent is more affordable.  The rental market ideal rent would be $1000 to $1500, not $2500 - $3000.
8.  The real estate scenario might work out perfectly for a potential home buyer who might even be interested in a 'rent to own' situation (try-it-before-you-buy-it).

I happen to have a potential renter/buyer who is looking for a 2 to 3 bedroom/2 bath custom home near Kaiser Medical Center who could really use the fleur de Ville home for 6 months...

Please don't hesitat to contact me if you are considering the above real estate proposal.

Real Estate Training | Agent Reboot | "Warm Boot or Cold Boot"

Real estate Modesto agent got an email regarding a real estate training program called Agent Reboot by Inman News from Zillow Academy.

It's about technology for real estate agents: mobile real estate tools, WordPress real estate blog, optimizing Facebook for real estate business, video, lifestyle branding, real estate buyers and sellers, and the iPad for real estate listing presentations, etc.


Now that iPad has a new version with cameras, Modesto real estate agent will be visiting the Modesto Apple store to obtain the latest and greatest iPad for real estate applications...




At the same time, I'm having this "geek moment" regarding this "Agent Reboot", is it a warm boot or cold boot?

Warm boot (soft boot), in computer terms, is hitting the Control-Alt-Delete key combination on the PC, so the computer will restart under software control and has time to write the cache to permanent storage.

Cold boot (hard boot), in computer terms, is to hit the Power switch, abruptly turning off the computer, without shutting it down and thus causing the lost of data (possibly).

Modesto real estate agent's "warm boot" :  "clear the schedule, take a real estate training class / real estate continue education, to get up to speed on real estate technology, to renew the real estate license, etc".

Meanwhile, the real estate market in Central Valley, CA is still going thru the reboot process, with all the short sale real estate, bank owned real estate, and auction real estate...
