Mc Gyver House up for Sale ~ Green Living Touches!
Carla Ridge up in the Trousdale Estates is full of mid-century houses that have rarely or ever changed hands. This four bedroom, six bathroom example from 1961 has belonged to television director John Rich (The Dick Van Dyke Show, All in the Family) for "over 44 years," according to the listing, but it hasn't been preserved in amber. Rather, it's been "completely renovated" and now has an 84 panel photovoltaic array, a computerized electrical system, bamboo floors, a bio-ethanol fireplace, and all kinds of other green touches, plus an elevator, pool, media/game room with full bar, and "the most high-tech in-home electronic system," according to its brochure. By the way, we should also mention that Rich was the executive producer (with Henry Winkler) on MacGyver. Asking price is $10.7 million.

The Cost of Home Ownership May Rise
Conforming loan limits are set to drop from $729,750 to $625,500, resulting in higher interest rates and down payments. A recent article on Market Watch warns: “The fact that the limits are changing is going to raise the cost of homeownership for homes priced in that range between the old and the new limit, and while the change officially takes effect October 1st, it may be reflected in loan quotes as early as the end of July."
Although a bill was introduced to Congress on Monday to extend the current loan limits, until a vote is set, we still believe that right now is the perfect time for those clients who are on-the-fence to take action on a new mortgage, as their rates may be affected even before the deadline. Because rates are still historically low, now is also a great time for clients to refinance their existing loan. Our knowledge, experience, and direct-lending capabilities ensure a seamless process and closings within 30 days or less, allowing your clients to take advantage of the current savings.

QR Codes and Smart Phones
RISMEDIA, May 17, 2011—Mobile technology is changing the way the world operates, largely by providing smartphone users the opportunity to visit a website directly from their fingertips. It is no secret that while consumers are getting much more demanding of the offerings websites provide on their mobile devices, REALTORS® have been responsive, and answered the need. The services that are currently available to real estate firms for their marketing can include text message lead generation, QR codes, apps and most importantly mobile websites for listings on consumer’s mobile devices. Being easily accessible from an iPhone, Blackberry, Andriod or other smartphone is key in this fast paced industry.
For that reason, forward-thinking brokerages, like the John Aaroe Group have placed mobile technology in the forefront of their marketing techniques. This has proved to not only enhance the experience of the buyer and seller but also allows the agent the benefits of being the most relevant and technologically advanced in their market place.
This has also resulted in agent productivity and loyalty from the forward-thinking brokers prospective. “We are a strong locally owned company vs. the major national companies—our agents are able to leverage this mobile technology, property text numbers and QR codes ahead of the market. It definitely has helped set us apart in the markets that we serve in Los Angeles and the Beverly Hills Community.
