The Stephen Christie Group

Stephen Christie talks about market conditions being prime for buying versus renting a home.  You will be amazed at what his niece and nephew just did!

A question that seems to be asked quite often these days is : "Shall we consider a short sale, or go with being foreclosed upon?"

In the month of October alone, we have helped 6 families that were headed towards a foreclosure, negotiate a short sale with their lender.  Even better than that, most of these families will be qualified to buy a home again in two years!

What we would like to offer you, or a friend or family member, are options.  Our goal is to assist either with information or with our expertise, so that you can make the right decision for you, your family, and for your situation. 

Should you have any questions, please feel free to call or email us.  We want to help explain your options.

Do you know what feels awesome?  Helping a family get into their first home.

Do you know what feels incredibly awesome?  Helping the family of a Veteran get into their first home!

Last week we closed escrow on a wonderful, 1800 square foot, single family home in Simi Valley, CA where we represented the Buyers.  The young family purchased a home through their VA eligibility, and were handed the keys to the home of their dreams, when they originally thought that they would probably only qualify for a small condominium.  Both Charlie and Monica were thrilled to tears at the close of escrow!

This family had previously been working with another agent for almost a year, and was not able to find, let alone, get an offer accepted on ANY property.   Kyle Bilharz, one of our incredible sales partners, began working with them, and within 63 days, located, and, with multiple offers on the property, successfully negotiated the home for them.

Charlie and Monica came to our offices to pick up their keys and final paperwork.  The entire Stephen Christie Group Team greeted them in our lobby, to give our well wishes.  As you can imagine, it was a bit emotional and even their little girl was passing out hugs!

All of us at The Stephen Christie Group take our job seriously, and our goal is to over deliver to ALL of our clients, whether they are our Sellers or our Buyers.  Our Mission Statement states, "Professionalism, Integrity, Strong Work Ethic and High Skills create the foundation of our company."   This truly resonates throughout our office. 

So, we love feeling awesome and incredibly awesome every single day, and with over 3400 closed transactions to date, it happens all the time!

Should you know anyone in the Conejo Valley, Malibu, Ventura County, and San Fernando Valley  areas that we can assist with their home selling or buying needs, we would be more than happy to take amazing care of them.

We get asked all the time, "How's the market?", and our response is, "Well, it depends.  Are you looking to buy, sell, rent, or invest?"

Quite frankly, it is an awesome market if you are a Buyer - interest rates are truly at an all time low, and prices are low as well.

And it is an awesome market if you are a Seller - the good homes get scooped up fast and for top dollar.  

And it is an awesome market if you are an investor - and are looking to either fix up and flip a property or hold it and place a renter in the home. 

This past week we have helped clients sell their homes, and we have helped clients purchase new homes!  The entire team has had their schedules "jam packed" with showings, inspections, and presentations.   The phones have been ringing nonstop, and our emails are flooded. 

So, how's the market? 

The market is fabulous.  Don't miss the opportunity this market is presenting to us all!
