    apartment search not IAC

    You can try the newer apartments as USC suggests. But it's been my experience that when a complex is finished and begins lease up, they almost always are looking to secure long term leases without lease break fees (to stabilize the property). You will likely have more luck with private...

    Interesting phone call from our leasing office

    Call your leasing office and ask them for the number to the IAC corporate office. They all have it...don't let them tell you they can't give it out...they have to. If they absolutely refuse let them know you will just call other IAC communities and get the number from one of them. IAC...

    Apartments without carpeting?

    Camden on Main and Jamboree does the concrete throughout, I thought. You can contact the IAC info center (http://www.rental-living.com/InfoCenter/) and they will filter through their 70odd communities and let you know if any come with hard surface flooring. You will most likely be...

    IAC? YUCK!

    I'd ask SM about the Mold issue. If I'm remembering correctly, I met a family who had been relocated from a SM unit to a local hotel for a little over a week while IAC cleaned it out. Ask a MANAGER how many mold remediations they've had to do in the past year to make sure it's not widespread.

    IAC Price Match Policy

    If it's not Park West or one of the Courts (Stanford, Berkeley, etc) it sounds like an affordable unit. Still a great price for the area. Congrats.

    IAC? YUCK!

    Take Park West off your list. I don't know how it is statistically but it really does seem like the greater majority of tenants are students. It's also one of the oldest communities in the IAC Irvine portfolio. That's why it does have some of the largest floorplans. It was built during a...

    Studying for Broker Exam?

    The absolute best thing you can do is take as many practice exams as possible. Buy the two or 3 books at the bookstore with the most practice exams in them and start taking them. With your background, you should be fine. Get yourself averaging 80% and you're ready. --take your first one...

    A new escrow thread for a new housing market...

    http://irvinehomes.freedomblogging.com/2009/06/15/six-irvine-zips-see-home-sales-rise/ I caught this short article breaking down Irvine May sales by zip code using DataQuick numbers. Average price down, number of sales up vs a year ago. Nothing shocking but it's a quick/dirty look at...

    Senators want homebuyer tax credit to rise to $15k

    I don't think we should be surprised. Propping up home values and giving more people incentives to become home owners will win votes for politicians, regardless of what anyone thinks "should happen" in the housing market...Let's not pretend our government is above bribing citizens with their...

    Renting in IAC Woodbury Soon, need advice...

    Realtor works but they may have to break off chunks for franchise fees, broker splits, and taxes.

    Renting in IAC Woodbury Soon, need advice...

    On your first visit they ask what brought you in...you need to give them the name of one of their current residents (that person's name has to be on a lease). When you place a hold deposit on an apartment make sure they give you a referral form to sign. About 45-60 days after you move in your...

    Renting in IAC Woodbury Soon, need advice...

    I recommend going in near the end of the week (Monday - Sunday). The leasing teams are graded on a weekly basis. There's probably not a lot of info available on Palmeras, Mirasol, or Esperanza as they're so new. From what I've heard, they're all on the nicer end of IAC communities - you...

    119 Fallingstar

    Agents sometimes price shortsales artificially low to let a bidding war begin. It also has the added bonus of getting them in front of more potential buyers. "I'm sorry this home didn't quite work out for you. Maybe you would be interested in having me show you some other options?"
