https://realestate.usnews.com/agents/california/irvine/ Dang Martin - kudos moving into the top rankings with these other realtors with large teams.  Didn't know you moved this kind of volume!  8)

Damn that was a good call - like clockwork all Dow gains gone within 3 hours of opening bell.

That's not just for Chinese families - generally speaking that is a mentality that resonates with lots of east Asian families.

I think I already know what happens when you list a CalPac detached condo in PS haha.  Location within the community is nice with the extra parking spot next to the garage.  Pretty sure you're gonna kill it again on this listing.

We had one done while in escrow to purchase an older house.  The scope cost around $200 and the entire street had 60 old trees in front of every single house that were city owned/maintained and densely rooted.  The scope was more to ensure that the pipes from the cleanout onwards to the sewers...

So from personal experience when New Home Company was trying to unload one of their less desirable lots to us on Big Oak in Cressa, they went up to 15k design center credits and $25k broker coop initially when we were unsure.  But don't show too much interest to your sales person, because that's...

We have a Vista but it's in the garage collecting dust and waiting to be craig's listed.  It was only good for a few months when we actually used to walk around the neighborhood for an hour every day.  The ones that we actually use is the Baby Jogger City Mini for the one hand pull to collapse...

I keep hearing this on TI, but the buyers of my last property wired over $300k USD over the course of 60 days.  I have the bank statements to confirm it, so I'm sure the PRC can try all they want, but the money is still flowing quite well into the US, and Irvine of course. 

Doing well tks for asking.  Btw forgot to give you a thanks for shouting your approval of my transaction on the BTB ROI meter lol.  Made my day seriously! Well you know Land Rovers - always good space for whole family for the money right?  Seriously, neighbors are great overall and it's...

Property and pics look great as always.  I'm sure you'll do well on this one.  Our friends with 2 kids have this plan, and it's definitely a great spacious plan for the money.  We'll try to stop drop by the open house.  Btw, is it just me or you are slowly moving in on Woodbury?  2 out of last 3...

For Short Term Price Appreciation-est Home - yea I'd have to give the nod to Delano.  Agree that the 4th bedroom probably helps a lot of people ignore the attached issue.  If you need 4 BR the list is substantially shorter.

As a previous Silverleaf owner I'd agree if you only need 3 bedrooms - the plan 3 really felt bigger than the quoted 1839 sq ft and wasted zero space.  If I could do it all over again though, I probably would have ponied up for Trellis for the 4th bedroom and the ~2K annual difference in MR. 

I think most people don't know the second part haha.  I know I was surprised when you told me.  Congrats on another Hot Home immediately after hitting the market.  This Bruin can attest you take care of both kinds of alums  ;)    Best of luck on this one, but I'm sure the seller can expect...

I don't think you can choose your appraiser as the bank funding the buyer gets that right I believe.  Now that you mention it I am highly suspicious it's a kickback scheme because the builder appraisal was exactly what the builder said the selling price would be.  Like right on the dot and our...

I agree with you on 3.5 of your 4 points: 4) It was MM but it was a Cayenne and he was parked inside our garage  ;)  Slip up on any of those 4 and you just might not hit the target lol

I received a couple questions via PM about why we was so surprised about the selling price that I thought I'd address.  Yes, some of you are correct in pointing out that the sales office is selling the base models around 880-890k based on exterior elevations and preplots.  We know full well...

Don't buy into that Redfin estimate bs - look at my property and it still says $870k.  What I care about is it says "last sold on 4/23/2018 for $905k"  ;) Plus I think that algorithm is whack - remember that Manhattan West condo that accidentally was listed for $482 million - the Redfin...

Hmm I didn't know the IP Sales office had gone off the rails that much with their pricing.  I was basing my metrics on this sale (yes before anyone says it I know that the address puts some serious ice water on any FCB bidding, but still).  What'd we say a driveway was worth? 50k?  So around...

Let's just say you previously called it a Land Rover and leave it at that  ;) To be fair Delano was not even announced yet when we put down our deposit in June of 2016 plus it's attached so absolutely no go for the wifey.  So I have to stick to an apples to apples comparison with Petaluma Plan...

    Now that escrow is closed ? gotta give credit where credit is due.  A big thanks to Martin for killing it on our listing.  We originally wanted to list at 800k for a sure thing, and Martin was adamant that we were crazy.  He said we had to go at least 850k and he put his money where his...
