Corey Chambers answers about stagflation, real estate prices, warehouses, Mills Act — and murder. Ask Corey Q: What’s happening with stagflation and real estate prices? We’re entering a new era of inflation and stagnation, otherwise known as stagflation. The federal government has indicated that there will be no limit to money printing, quantitative easing and helicopter money. That spells higher prices, and eventually a devalued U.S. dollar. As the same time, we’re in the Greater Depression of 2020, which causes less demand and lower prices. Because GDP is being dramatically reduced by virus hysteria and lockdown, especially in major cities, many prices, urban home prices in particular, have downward pressure. The overall effect is slower growth with mostly higher prices for food and other staples, along with shortages and an economy that is out of wack. Most businesses shrink, or find it more difficult to expand. This is stagflation. Urban home prices go down, while suburban home prices either drop or stagnate, staying about the same price for longer than usual. Q: Is there a place to live in a warehouse for rent los angeles? Where can I find warehouse living space for rent? A: There are warehouse lofts on the L.A. Loft Blog. For cheaper raw warehouses, search on Craigslist for warehouse. Industrial places are often amenable to a variety uses, and to making changes that suit the needs of creative persons. Q: What are mills act condos? A: Mills Act properties are beautiful historic lofts and houses with character that pay home owners to live in and maintain these architectural works of antiquity. Q: What happened with the 1050 flower murder? A: We are aware of previous murders a while back at Flower Street Lofts and at Watermarke Tower. Flower Street Lofts is at 1130 S Flower St and Watermarke Tower is at 705 W 9th St. Q: Is oceanwide across from staples center south park la? OceanWide Plaza new development multi-purpose residential, hotel and retail project under construction has experienced financial issues and very lengthy delays over the last few years. Q: What were the events for new years eve dtla? A: New Year 2021 events were mostly online. We enjoyed the the Tan Mom train wreck, and the Snoop Dogg celebration. All free. Q: Where are people moving to from the los angeles california exodus 2020? A: More people are moving out of Los Angeles and California to other states than moving in from other states. They’re moving to Texas, Arizona, Washington, Nevada, Oregon and other states. Q: Are there tents in downtown los angeles? A: Yes, lots of homeless tents. More and more tents every day. And motorhomes, personal belongings and illegal dumping block more and more sidewalks and streets in L.A. Q: What was kerry marsico cause of death? A: While there was not official release of the cause of death, top Los Angeles real estate agent Kerry Marsico likely died of a drug overdose, based on his open account of previous chemical abuse.

Bitcoin takes lead in investment results. REAL ESTATE NEWS As the darkness of an economic winter envelopes urban real estate, the number of Bitcoin millionaires has more than doubled in the last two months alone. More than 50,000 tech nerds and investors now own $1 million or more each of the first (and still most popular) blockchain cryptocurrency. The Loft Blog recently reported that 2020 continued a two-year trend of falling home values in DTLA. Lofts and crypto are both really cool things. They’re both considered unorthodox investments, seemingly risky to many, yet correspondingly more rewarding than their stodgy counterparts: the traditional single family home and the ancient precious metal gold. As investments, real estate does not compare to Bitcoin, which has beat the property market by more than 100 to 1 in return on investment over the last 10 years. While Bitcoin is the reigning king of profit, you can’t live in a bitcoin. That being true, a $25,000 investment in Bitcoin seven years ago allows that investor to own ten downtown lofts today. Real estate professionals forecast that Downtown real estate may take around five years or more to unwind, and then to make a significant recovery. By that time, a single Bitcoin is likely to be approaching the value of a condominium unit. Fortune favors the bold, the hard-working and the determined. Real estate success, especially in a down market, is predicated upon economic success. The Loft Blog extends once again its strong suggestion that readers learn, experiment and take advantage of new investment technologies.

REAL ESTATE NEWS | Blog Video Large open space, high ceilings, lots of windows and natural light, walk-in closet, private hot tub spa. Sounds like a multi-million dollar luxury loft penthouse, but wait! We’re describing a homeless tent in the Skid Row neighborhood of Downtown Los Angeles. Stephanie Williams says that the is living her best life on Skid Row. A fashion designer, she sews for the community. Not just sleeping in a tent, she controls a sprawling estate compound of several large upscales tent-like residences with deluxe features. Her real estate is free for her. Her tent mansion boasts a hardwood floor, a bamboo bed with upscale mattress and linens, appliances, full size Christmas tree set up, walk in closet, private toilet, electric generator and hot tub spa. She pays no rent to use the valuable, sprawling Central Los Angeles land that she enjoys. | VIDEO Keeping homeless on the street is not sustainable. Only a structure with a roof can be acceptable. It’s on the taxpayer’s dime, but neither taxpayers nor homeless can use the sidewalks because they are completely blocked by tents. Pedestrians must walk in the street, which obstructs traffic, creates extreme safety hazards, resulting in injury and death for countless homeless pedestrians. A Penn State report says that substance abuse rate is 20% to 35%, but witnesses who live on the street say almost unanimously that nearly 100% of homeless suffer from substance abuse issues. It does not help homeless, and it does not help society when taxpayers provide billions of taxpayer dollars to support unhealthy, dangerous lifestyles of substance abuse on the street. Homeless who are currently on the street absolutely must be provided with the respect of an environment, care and law enforcement that reduces the incidence of substance abuse. Ultimately, rich, middle class and poor must follow the same laws. The sooner this happens in Los Angeles, the better off everyone will be. Copyright © This free information provided courtesy L.A.

Transients come and go as they please, easily traversing impotent, new $80,000 condominium gates. “I can do whatever I want because this is the ghetto.” — Trespasser at Alta Lofts. Today’s quote by a transient woman sums up the year of 2020, as LAPD no longer enforces most laws and crimes that may be connected to homeless persons. This comes just two days after a security guard was held up at gunpoint across the street from the same condominium building, and just weeks after a real estate agent was another armed robbery victim in the nearby neighborhood of Highland Park. Now surrounded by homeless encampments, lofty industrial and commercial neighborhoods around Downtown Los Angeles and Lincoln Heights are immured by bands of derelict motorhomes, tents, trash and exploding crime. Like other big city blight issues that were already worsening over the last several years, the rapid escalation of crime has been recently turbo boosted in 2020 by virus hysteria and draconian lockdown. Middle class Angelenos are today encouraged by politicians and social media to ignore dissenting doctors, and instead, to snitch on their neighbors in exchange for financial rewards. Big cities like Los Angeles today embody the same one-party radical social and political environment of censorship, propaganda and fear that enabled NAZI Germany, Stalin, Lenin, Castro, Mao and Pol Pot to kill 100 million innocent men, women and children. With luck, Los Angeles will only suffer much fewer tragedies over the coming years. Perhaps LA. will merely have to survive as a STASI nanny culture, with the majority of deaths occurring elsewhere. Many thousands are not sticking around to find out how bad things can get. The California Exodus is accelerating. The Loft Blog shall be releasing the December DTLA real estate market report in the coming days. The numbers will likely show a continuing drop in property values, which does not bode well for big city real estate in 2021. Find out how much your neighbor’s loft sold for.

Placing an Offer Before Seeing the Property Advanced strategies deliver the best deals. #realestate #deals HOME BUYING TIPS AND TRICKS | Blog Video There are several reasons that a home buyer or renter would place an offer before looking at the property in California. The main reason to place an offer before seeing the interior is if the prospective buyer or renter is unable to get in to see the property promptly. This could be either because they cannot reach the seller, the buyer is out of the area or they are having trouble connecting or matching scheduling calendars. Placing an offer creates several advantages for the prospective buyer or renter. In California, the listing agent is required to give any and all offers to the property seller or landlord promptly. This ensures that the buyer or renter will not be easily ignored. It allows prospective buyers to get the foot in the door. The gives an insurance policy that the listing agent will not ignore the offeror. A higher offer helps to get priority for obtaining that property, while a low offer can actually help to apply pressure to reduce the price. Aggressive home buyers and renters will outperform their mild and meek competitors, and there is usually little or no risk to placing an offer early. Purchase offers include several contingencies, while rental applications are usually not considered a firm offer until a lease is signed with payment. One caveat: Make sure you know who you are dealing with. Do not send any money or personal information to anyone who is not available to talk on the phone. The best deals go quickly. Using advanced strategies like sight-unseen offers and unsolicited offers helps to benefit the buyer or renter above the average Joe in the competitive California real estate market.

REAL ESTATE NEWS — DTLA has a personal relationship connection to the man who blew himself up in his motorhome. An L.A. entertainment executive is tied to the suspected Nashville Bomber. | Blog Video Michelle Swing, a downtown L.A. resident and artist development director at AEG Presents, was reportedly given two houses by Anthony Quinn Warner, who has been identified as the perpetrator and victim of the Christmas morning bombing in Nashville, which devastated a city block.

Bitcoin owners got extra big Christmas gifts in 2020. Congratulations to all of the smart crypto-cookies who have been making $1,000 per day over the last several days! The Loft Blog first mentioned Bitcoin in 2014 shortly after it bounced briefly above $1,000. We mentioned at that time that Bitcoin could potentially be more cool than a loft. In 2017, the Loft Blog reported that Bitcoin would continue on its path as a much better investment than urban real estate in terms of ROI return on investment. We demonstrated extraordinary upright temerity by suggesting that investors consider selling real estate to buy Bitcoin. History proven us super right on all counts. The information provided by the Loft Blog has proven to be the gift that keeps on giving. Amid big city property markets that have been devastated by hysteria and blight, suburbs have become the shining point of light, while Bitcoin has proven the financial saving grace for those who have taken advantage of it. “I can’t believe how much Bitcoin went up.” — Will A.

Wisdom has been replaced by fear. REAL ESTATE NEWS As the L.A. Loft Blog predicted, the economy is getting worse. The numbers 2021, in and of themselves, hold no magic. The economy shall continue to get worse until it either bottoms out, or until free enterprise is given free rein to do its own proven-wondrous thing. The herd is being shepherded in a manner that ignores thousands of independent-minded doctors and health care professionals, thus harming health, wealth and happiness. Politicians, fake news and unlawful social media have been given undue influence, and they are taking advantage of it like despots. Because of unprecedented censorship and propaganda, many Americans (especially big city dwellers) are unaware of the large number of doctors worldwide who have come out against lockdown, face masks and other harmful overreactions. Americans are losing confidence in the economy because of continued hysteria and government-created economic barriers. Average consumers are getting poorer. Most are unable to understand the powerful long-term impact of the greatest blow to America’s economy in recent history. | Blog Video While failing traditional news fails to do basic journalism, it’s difficult for the average person to understand what is going on. The lunatics are trying to convince the working class that work is not essential. As the Loft Blog exhorted more than six months ago: ALL JOBS ARE ESSENTIAL. We’re now experiencing what comes when a basic law of economics is neglected; we’re seeing new kinds of economic distress emerge. U.S. spending has dropped for the first time in 7 months, according to the Wall Street Journal. Economy journalists call 2020 the “craziest, creepiest year for financial markets” that they’ve seen in half a century. Money is rapidly changing hands from middle class to the rich. Loft Blog readers understand that they shall fall behind unless they are in a position to take advantage of the change. Markets take time to unwind before they may become healthy. Before real recovery can start, capitulation is also required. Instead of honest acceptance of shortcomings, we’re seeing an escalation in censorship, propaganda and dereliction. We’ve seen nothing that resembles full unwinding. We’ve seen no capitulation in the stock market or in suburban real estate markets. We can have no rapid v-shaped recovery because we haven’t seen any of these requirements met yet. Downtown real estate values continue to drop. Sadly, 2021 will be pretty much just as crazy, and perhaps even more creepy. Find out how much your neighbor’s loft sold for.

Corey Chambers, Art Broker Known as a real estate broker, art dealer Corey has also been a consignment seller of art for nearly 20 years. In yesterday’s premium article called “Monetize Your Home,” I mentioned that most anyone can find valuables in their home to sell. This often includes art. Now that we are in the worst economic depression in recent history, many people find it necessary to sell personal belongings and household goods in order to keep enough cash on hand to survive the dark winter and beyond, plus gain extra cash to invest in the extremely good deals that a major economic crisis brings. Artwork is among the treasures that many people have, which we often don’t think of selling until times are tough. For many, now is one of those times. | Blog Video Corey Chambers, Art Broker Other valuables that can generate significant cash may include electronics, tools, musical instruments, expensive decor, cars, motorcycles, boats, precious metals, collectibles and other valuables. For art, the #1 key to determining value is the fame and desirability of the artist, and secondly, whether the work is a hand-crafted original, print or reproduction. For instance, a hand-painted Renoire will likely sell in the millions. A Calder screen print will likely go for around $1,000. A mass produced beautiful artwork by an unknown artist will usually sell for next to nothing. I’ve been selling hundreds of thousands of dollars of art in conjunction with luxury homes. I’m just getting the word out that I’m willing to help people get more money out of their artwork and other valuables, even if they don’t have a home to sell. Offer ends Dec 31, 2020.

Born right nearby at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people over come unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles area, California native, I take pride in supporting in any way that I can the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallys around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them. Sincerely, Corey Chambers, Broker Associate, Realty Source, Inc. Corey Chambers 213-880-9910 Corey Chambers Real Estate Downtown Los Angeles A Stranger’s Gift Leads to Milestone Liver Transplant A baby in California needed a liver. A man in Ohio—grateful for his own second chance—gave him a piece of his own. By Katie Sweeney By Katie Sweeney You could begin the story of the 400th pediatric liver transplant at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in a lot of different places. You could start, of course, on Sept. 30, 1998, when the Liver and Intestinal Transplant Program performed its first living donor liver transplant—led by Yuri Genyk, MD, the same surgeon who has since led 400 transplants. Or, you could start on Dec. 15, 2019, when parents Aileen and Chad noticed that the eyes of their 2-day-old baby, Jacob, had turned yellow. But really, this extraordinary story begins much, much earlier. It starts on Feb. 17, 1969, on a cold, icy Monday morning in the town of Mansfield, Ohio, with a group of six children walking to school together. The children—all siblings—are traipsing up a steep hill. A boy, 12, is in the lead. But as he crosses the street, a car suddenly speeds down the hill. The driver does not see the boy in time. Mike’s story The boy who got hit by a car all those years ago—he flew 54 feet before crashing to the concrete—was Mike Speck. He was in a coma for two weeks and spent three months in the hospital. But that was just the beginning of his long road back. He had to re-learn how to talk, walk, eat, read, write—everything. What’s more, he’d lost all memories from his first 12 years. He had to be told who his parents were, his siblings, his friends. Before the accident, he’d been a top student and an avid baseball and basketball player. After the accident, all that changed. “I went from straight-As to Ds and Fs, barely passing, because I couldn’t remember anything,” Mike says. “I couldn’t even walk 50 feet until my senior year in high school. It was a tough time.” Still, his family—his parents, his brothers and sisters, his grandparents, aunts and uncles—all rallied behind him. And slowly, amazingly, he healed. Not only was he able to eventually walk and run again, but by his 20s, he was playing in a softball league and earning a 3.4 grade point average in college. From there, his life took off. In the decades since, he’s been a chemical engineer, the owner of a popular pizzeria and a devoted basketball coach at a local school. He has a wife, Genevieve, four daughters and seven grandchildren. Mike describes himself as a very spiritual person. And through the years, a question gnawed at him. “Why did God let me live?” he wondered. “Why was my life spared?” Jacob’s story On the day that Aileen and Chad noticed their son Jacob’s yellow eyes, they weren’t too worried. Their older son, Lucas, had been jaundiced after birth, and after some simple phototherapy treatment, he had been fine. The next day, a Monday, they took Jacob to his pediatrician. By that night, Jacob was hospitalized in San Diego, about 100 miles from the family’s home in Imperial County. The next morning, he was transferred by ambulance to yet another San Diego hospital. “That’s when we knew it was something serious,” says his dad. That “something serious” turned out to be biliary atresia, a rare condition where the liver’s bile ducts are missing or blocked. When Jacob was 6 weeks old, he underwent surgery to try to repair the problem, but soon he was in and out of the hospital again. His belly would fill with so much fluid, it swelled up like a balloon. Worse, that fluid often got infected. His parents learned to look for the telltale sign that they needed to take him to the emergency room: He’d stop smiling. 3-of-us.jpg“Even with a distended belly, Jacob would be happy, but when he had an infection, there’d be no smile,” Chad explains. In June, Jacob was referred to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a liver transplant. His parents met with Dr. Genyk, Chief of the Division of Abdominal Transplantation at CHLA, who has led the Liver and Intestinal Transplant Program for 22 years. Dr. Genyk partners with Beth Carter, MD, who is Medical Director of Liver Transplant and Intestinal Rehabilitation. The program performs 25 to 30 transplants a year—the most in Southern California—with survival rates that exceed national averages. One third of those transplants come from living donors. “The advantage of the living donor is that you can do the transplant before the patient’s condition really deteriorates,” Dr. Genyk explains. “Outcomes from living donors are generally superior to cadaveric donors, and that’s especially important for pediatric patients. A child needs a liver to last a really long time.” Luckily, Jacob’s dad was a match. Chad spent a full day undergoing a thorough medical evaluation at Keck Medicine of USC. He thought doctors would just tell him to lose a few pounds. Instead, they had stunning news. The imaging tests had revealed a tumor growing in Chad’s abdomen. He now had his own medical crisis—and he could not be a donor for Jacob. “Our son getting sick during the pandemic, and now Chad? I felt like my world was falling apart,” Aileen says. “If it wasn’t for my faith in God, I don’t think I could have handled it.” A surprise phone call Meanwhile, Jacob was getting sicker. In September, he spent 22 days in a San Diego hospital with a potentially life-threatening infection. He recovered, but it was clear he needed a transplant very soon. Still, he was nowhere near the top of the list to receive a deceased donor organ. The family stepped up the search for a donor, but it was a slow process. Donating a liver is major surgery, requiring days in the hospital and a weekslong recovery. A few friends had expressed interest, but none so far had been found eligible. Then, at 4 p.m. on Oct. 12, the family got its most astonishing news yet. Chad was just pulling into the driveway of his mom’s house when his cell phone rang. It was Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. An anonymous person from Ohio had come forward to be a liver donor. Dr. Genyk had determined Jacob was the best match. Could Jacob be in Los Angeles for the transplant next week? Anonymous donor? Ohio? Next week? “Words literally could not come out of my mouth,” Chad says. “Someone in Ohio is coming out to L.A. to save my kid’s life? That’s, that’s—I don’t know what to say. Other than it’s proof that there’s still good in humanity, OK?” A quest to give back Three hours earlier, at his home in Sandusky, Ohio, Mike Speck had also received a surprise call from Los Angeles. As soon as he got off the phone, he jumped up from his chair and ran to find his wife. “Genevieve!” he yelled, breathless with excitement. “You’re never going to guess who just called me.” Five years earlier, in his continued quest to give back after his long-ago accident, Mike had anonymously donated one of his kidneys. The recipient, a minister, wrote him a letter, telling him the kidney had made him “a new man.” Mike was thrilled. So when he later found out he could also donate a piece of his liver, he researched hospitals and contacted Keck Medicine of USC. In March 2020, he flew out to Los Angeles for a full donor evaluation. Since then, he’d been waiting for a phone call, hoping he could once again give someone else a second chance at life. Now, that call had come. He and Genevieve began rushing around, packing their bags and booking a flight and hotel. Two days later, they were landing at LAX. ‘In good hands’ At 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 20, Aileen and Chad saw Jacob off to the most important surgery of his 10-month-old life. Jacob was in good spirits, giving his parents high fives with his tiny hands—and smiling his trademark smile. His parents headed to their nearby hotel for the long wait. “We knew he was in good hands,” Chad says. Dr. Genyk led both surgical teams—one for Mike at Keck Medicine of USC, and one for Jacob at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. In all, the two surgeries took 13 hours. “Jacob’s transplant was extremely difficult,” Dr. Genyk says. “He was really ill. Because of the infections in his abdomen, it took us three hours just to free up the intestine and liver from all the inflammation.” But that’s where the experience of 399 previous pediatric liver transplants pays off. “Reaching this milestone really speaks to the depth and breadth of our expertise,” Dr. Carter says. “When you’ve performed that many transplants, you become very adept at knowing what the potential complications are and how to prevent and treat them if they occur. This allows us to deliver the best possible care for each child.” That care involves surgeons, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, nurses, radiologists, social workers and more. “Every transplant is a huge team effort,” Dr. Genyk stresses. “The success of this program is because of everyone’s enormous contributions.” Tears across the miles A month after the transplant—and less than 24 hours before Chad was scheduled for his own surgery—he and Aileen nervously logged onto a Zoom call. Jacob sat on Chad’s lap, bouncing and smiling and clutching a toy dinosaur. On the screen waiting for them were Mike and Genevieve. Shortly after Jacob’s successful transplant, Aileen and Chad had written a thank-you letter to Mike. At that point, he was still anonymous to them, but they had asked if he would be willing to meet them. They wanted to thank him in person. Because of COVID-19 and the more than 2,000 miles between them, the meeting took place on Zoom. But that didn’t make it any less emotional. The tears were flowing freely in California and Ohio. “I felt very humbled to see the effects of what transpired after my donation,” Mike says. “To see Jacob, to see his big smile—that was something. It was a tremendous experience.” Aileen and Chad listened in awe to Mike’s journey. “It was hearing his story and his motivation to donate that made me tear up,” Chad explains. “He was telling us it was his privilege to donate. We should all strive to be like Mike.” “We are so thankful Mike came into our lives,” Aileen says. “He gave a second life to our son.” ‘The biggest reward’ Today, Jacob is doing great and cruising around the house with a baby walker. He recently celebrated his first birthday. His smile is bigger than ever.Jake-and-the-Cake.jpg “Children transform so fast after liver transplant,” Dr. Genyk says. “The biggest reward is to see the outcomes in our patients and witness that event where their life is given back to them.” Jacob’s family has another reason to smile, too: Chad’s November surgery in San Diego was a success, and he is doing well. The tumor was completely removed, and the post-op biopsy showed it was not cancerous. “It’s such a blessing to be back to our normal life and to have Jacob healthy,” says Aileen. “We are so thankful to Dr. Genyk and all the doctors and nurses at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for everything they have done to support us.” Mike is also feeling great and is back to walking his usual 20,000 steps a day—even in the Ohio cold. He has donated all the organs he can as a living person. But he has another plan to keep giving the gift of life. He’s already signed up to give blood.

REAL ESTATE NEWS | Blog Video When a faltering economy slows down real estate tractions in Downtown and other urban neighborhoods, more scams and frauds appear, and even legit real estate pros can get into dire straits leading to unscrupulous or unlawful behavior. As the big city real estate stagnates, here are common recent scams to avoid. To avoid getting scammed by desperate real estate agents, here are suspicious agent activities to watch out for: Failing to submit offers to home seller; Offering to help a home buyer pay for property, then failing to come through; Telling seller that the property is worth much less than it is, then buying the property or having friend buy it; Reducing asking price without permission; Telling the seller that the neighborhood is going downhill because minorities are moving in; Telling a minority buyer they should live with their own kind; Failing to disclose known defects and deleterious conditions; Telling a home seller that the home is worth far more than it is, in order to get the listing; Failing to show the property to any buyers; Failing to get any offers on the property. In down markets, some agents find that their commissions are no longer coming in regularly, and they cannot afford to renew their credentials.

New homes under construction in the Greater Los Angeles area can provide sparkling residences with the very latest in style, innovation and efficiency. They can also be an extraordinary value because they have not suffered wear and tear depreciation, and they are usually under some kind of “must sell” condition of seller motivation. Buying new homes can present some pitfalls. The most common mistake is for prospective buyers to accidentally get stuck buying a home from the sales office without free representation from a buyer’s agent. This can be kind of like representing oneself in a criminal court instead of using a defense attorney. In real estate, buyers and sellers have opposing financial interests, and often prefer different terms. When a buyer buys directly from a sales office, they may find that they are up against sophisticated, crafty sales people who will take aggressive steps to get the price and terms that the developer seller wants while ignoring the best interests of the buyer. When a casual home shopper walks into a new homes construction site and signs in, they have signed away their rights to free representation. To prevent this common mistake, prospective home buyers may take advantage of the New Home Buyer Protection Program. This free program allows home buyers to see new homes with guaranteed savings and with less risk. The best free homebuyer protection programs include priority notifications of the best deals, often 3-10 days before they are uploaded to the internet — sometimes weeks before the public is aware of the new construction. Home buyer protection helps buyers get a guaranteed lower price and better terms by placing the buyer’s interests above the seller’s interests. The programs allow the buyer to get all of the information, the pros and the cons, on the property so that the buyer will know what they are buying ahead of time, and be more happy after the home purchase. To make sure that happens, a free extended 2-year warranty and “Love Your New Home” Guarantee are sometimes offered. | NEW HOMES INTEREST LIST Access unlisted units, pocket listings and coming soon properties Lower price Better terms Placing the buyer’s interests above the sellers interests Free 2-year extended home warranty Home report with pros and cons, good and bad Love Your New Home Guarantee Savings Guarantee Certificate Get a free report on home buyer protections.

A million dollar loft condo for $500,000? Things like that are beginning to happen as the sagging urban home market brings new opportunities for prospective loft buyers to get better deals. One happy couple purchased a very large 2-story loft, with an original asking price of nearly $700,000, for less than $550,000 by taking advantage of LA Loft Blog exclusive deals. Because they got such a great deal on the industrial warehouse style live/work condominium unit, they ended up with plenty of extra money to fix it up with a new kitchen, bathroom, modern glass walls and other improvements.

REAL ESTATE NEWS Home Sellers: Real estate transactions are often complex, slow and stressful. To simplify and shorten the process, new ibuyer companies use technology and investors to make an offer on a home instantly. These ibuyer companies have recently begun to spend much less on buying homes. Offers from iBuyers are going down compared to full market value. The decline in ibuyer offers is due to higher risk in the marketplace, while more home sellers agree to accept lower cash offers in order to reduce their own exposure to a jittery real estate market caused by today’s virus hysteria. An increasing number of home sellers are willing to accept less money in exchange for more certainty — less than full market value — often $50,000 to $100,000 less than a fully marketed home sale. | Blog Video A larger number of prospective home sellers instead prefer to receive an offer on their home within 24 hours, but then decide if they would like to accept that offer or if they prefer to fully market the home using a real estate professional who provides a guaranteed sale amount for the full market value or higher. #chambersguarantee Get a guaranteed cash offer on your home within 24 hours.
