Today’s Open Houses
January 16th, 2010Today we had 2 open houses in San Ramon, both in Gale Ranch. It was amazing to have over 40 groups through one of them and over 25 groups through the other. Many visitors are coming from outside of the area looking to get into the best schools. This is an indication of how busy it will be in Real Estate this year. At least the first half of year with the current tax incentives and today’s ultra low interest rates.
Offers for Briza Loop will be looked at on Monday or possibly Tuesday at the latest. There are indications that there may be as many as 6 offers coming in on this Cedar Bridge townhome. Some of the comments heard from the open house on Briza were, WOW, this home is really upgraded; we like the lot size and views; this home is really well maintained and super clean; I really like the downstairs bedroom and full bath. It was great to have such a great listing to have open. AND it is a regular sale which really attracted a lot more interest. Briza Loop will be open again tomorrow, Sunday 1/17, from 1 to 4. Please stop by!

Stevens Court getting RAVE reviews
December 11th, 2009Rarely do we see homes come on the market that are move in ready. 636 Stevens Court is that special place. If you have not been through this home, do yourself a favor and come see this home Sunday from 1 to 4 during our open house. I love where I live now but even so, when I am at Stevens, this home makes me feel good! The colors of the hardwood, the paint on the walls and the amazing upgrades just exude so much charm and feel so welcoming. We had the home open today for the broker tour and we heard much praise about the home .Please stop by and be impressed! Homes like this are not available often…so don’t miss out!
Interest Rates are at all time lows!
December 2nd, 2009The media is blasting the lowest rates in the news and I can see the impact it is making on potential home buyers. This week alone we received 3 buyer referrals from our past clients. These potential buyers are very motivated to make a move now as many fear that rates are going to be heading North and when they do go up it happens quickly.
There has been published reports lately about the Fed starting to drain money from the economy. The Central Bank at some point will need to reverse course and start boosting interest rates and removing other supports to fend off inflation. The Fed will sell securities from its portfolio with an agreement to buy them back later. This is called a reverse repurchase agreement. This is a tool the Feds can use to drain money it has plowed into the economy to ease financial troubles. The Central Banks balance sheet has ballooned to over $2 trillion – reflecting the special programs it has set up to spur lending, stabilize banks and to revive the economy.
Many buyers know that this is the best time ever to get a very low mortgage rate.
The Frazzano Team is #1 in the San Ramon Valley for volume of real estate sold in Alameda and Contra Costa County from 10/01/08 – 9/30/09
November 11th, 2009It was brought to our attention today that according to the MLS and from the BrokerMetrics report that the Frazzano Team is #1 in the San Ramon Valley for sales volume for homes located in Alameda and Contra Costa County.
The Frazzano Team had $39,736,241 in closed sales for a one year period from 10/01/08 to 9/30/09. In this time period The Frazzano Team sold 46 listings & closed 25 buyer controlled sales. It is an honor to be so fortunate to actually have a successful business in this challenging time. Many of our clients are referrals or past clients. The market climate has changed considerable and being able to adapt is a requirement.
One of the ways The Frazzano Team has continued to grown their business is with the use of technology. More and more buyers are finding homes via the Internet and so we have focused more of our business towards Internet marketing to target where the ready, willing, and able buyers are coming from. As a result, we have increased our sales production of units sold to over 84 since the beginning of 2009.
We are fortunate to have a strong back end system lead by Teri Matthews who has been on the team for over 3 1/2 years. Teri has been licensed for almost 10 years and she is such a pleasant woman to work with; her best quality is that is she is consistently nice. And hard working; she always arrives early and stays late!
Having great sales numbers is important, and yes it is nice to be recognized for sales performance, but for us at The Frazzano Team it is always about the client. I learned a long time ago that the Real Estate business it is never about the numbers, it is always about showing people how much you really care about them as well as being extremely knowledgeable about the task at hand. Good numbers always follow good care.
