    Questionable agents

    What? You are in escrow for a week but the listing is still showing active? Are you sure? That?s definitely not allowed and you can make a complaint with the DRE. You have to pay the deposit to actually be considered to be escrow, you already wired your deposit in escrow?

    Questionable agents

    Tell me about it, I disliked the selling agents so much I just took the test and got my own license. Honestly I would recommend that, being able to see houses on my own terms have been much better. If you don?t have the time, I agree with the above, I would go with a full time agent like Martin...

    In a very depressing situation, advice needed

    It certainly is not ideal if your neighbor is selling too, and their price is more attractive. That's really not the agent's fault though, there are a lot of inventories on the market right now, and it is sound advice to price your home more competitively if you want to actually sell. If we had...

    Turtle Ridge vs Turtle Rock vs Turtle Rock Crest

    Do you have kids? Crest is amazing, but there is very few kids, we looked a few homes in crest but decided to get a house where there are more families in turtle rock, so my kids can walk to school with our neighbors, and have more kids to play with in the neighborhood in general. This has...

    Broker recommendation to hang license

    I am not sure which forum to post this question, this post doesn't have anything to do Irvine properties. I took the salesperson exam randomly and passed it, now I am looking for a broker to hang my license. I am unsure if I will practice, I had my license when I lived in another state too, I...

    :) I am probably wrong then, but you get the point. I would re wire if it?s the old stuff

    Asbestos in old homes

    I am not a  professional, but I own a few older homes. Yes, I have done a few asbestos testing(due to various reasons), it's always positive, but that doesn't really mean anything if the area isn't being disturbed (such as attic insulation) If you test for mold in a lot of houses, it will also...

    Demolishing/Renovating Older Irvine properties

    I live in TR, a house built in the 60s, people under estimate how easy it is to make an old home look more refreshed. A fresh coat of paint, and new countertops and hardwares in the kitchen and bathrooms make a huge difference at a relatively low cost. We did also change all the electrical wires...

    How does everyone think of Greatpark?

    Superfund site and asphalt factory aside, I still prefer older neighborhoods in Irvine to GP. The weather difference is something I rarely hear ppl talking about, I live in Turtle Rock, but go to GP at least once a week. On hot days, north Irvine in general is noticeably hotter and a lot more...

    Upgrades at New house

    My personal preference is not doing any upgrades with the builder, not only they are normally overpriced, you would have higher property taxes with the higher purchase price upfront. Wiring speakers is only a few hundred dollars, you probably don't care about your property taxes being a few...

    Looking for a contractor

    Normally HOA would have an approved/recommended list of architect and contractors, I would get that first. Have you already gotten HOA approval?
