Full Service Gas Stations Are Gone, But Full Service Real Estate is Alive at Windermere
Posted by Mark Loscher | Currently 1 Comment »
How many of you remember the true “full service” gas stations?
Well, I do.
For those of you who do not, let me fill you in, no pun intended.
Full service gas stations are a thing of the past, in California anyways. But not to long ago you could drive into your favorite gas station, say hello to a friendly gas station attendant, sit back, relax and let him or her, do all the service work.
What a concept!
They would ask you which grade of gas you’d like to have. They would check your oil levels for you. They would even check your tire pressure. Oh, and guess what? They would even wash your windows, without being asked. Wow, now that was service!
Unfortunately, that kind of service in the gas station business is a thing of the past, by and large.
In the Real Estate industry we are in danger of the same thing happening, if we aren’t careful. More and more companies are losing that personal touch, not only with their clients, but with the agents who work for them.
Not to long ago almost all Real Estate companies provided full service to their agents. They would provide a desk, a phone, a computer to work from, fliers, marketing materials, training, management support, and the latest technology products and support.They would have managers and administrative people available, 24/7 to help with a number of issues relating to helping the client.
Sadly, this too seems to be going by the way of the gas station and too many companies today focus on the number of people they hold licenses for, they focus on how many deals they produce, and they focus on themselves rather than on the client and the agent.
At Windermere we are a little old fashioned I guess, when it comes to service. We still believe it is very important to provide all of the support and tools that we can for agents, so they can provide the very best full service to the client.
We do provide all the tools, the technology, the administrative and management support, 24/7, to help our agents be the best they can possibly be. We understand the need to be on the cutting edge of technology and we are in so many ways, but not at the cost of that personal one on one touch that is so important in our people first industry.
Let us not forget that computers, phones and gadgets have been invented, developed and provided to assist us in our one to one personal business, not to replace it. The client and the agent need to have that personal interaction. They need to have that one on one conversation about the most important investment they are likely to make, a home. Just as an agent needs that same kind of relationship with their Broker and support staff.
At Windermere we value those relationships with our agents and the client.
We will continue to lead in our industry with the tools, the support, and the, yes, the “service” to our agents and ultimately to the client.
Check it out and see for yourself. I know that the support you need, we have.

An Added Tax Advantage for Homeowners!
Posted by Carol Carey | Leave A Comment »
For those first time* home buyers still skeptical whether NOW is the best time to buy, you can add one more to the growing number of reasons to answer YES when asking yourself if NOW is the best time to purchase.
Offered as a stimulus to help the market’s recovery, the advantage I am referring to comes in the form of a TAX CREDIT available to qualifying buyers making less than $150,000 joint annual income when purchasing a primary residence between April 9, 2008 and June 30, 2009.
Whether it’s a new home or a resale, or a single-family residence or condominium dwelling doesn’t matter as long as it serves as your primary residence.
The TAX CREDIT is actually 10 percent of the purchase price or $7,500 - whichever is less - for married taxpayers filing jointly. For married taxpayers filing separately or single taxpayers, the maximum credit is $3,500. 
You can’t just sign a contract to buy a home by June 30, 2009, cutoff date, you must actually close escrow by that deadline to qualify to receive your TAX CREDIT. And the law does allow taxpayers to treat a sale closed in calendar year 2009 as if it occurred on December 31, 2008, meaning you can elect to accelerate to this year’s tax return!
This isn’t a tax deduction, which is subtracted from the amount of your taxable income, it’s a TAX CREDIT, which equates to a dollar-for-dollar reduction in what you owe, and you have 15 years to repay it at the rate of $500 per year.
However, you won’t be required to start making payments until two years after the credit is claimed. If you sell the home during the 15-year payback period, the remaining unpaid credit balance is due from the proceeds of the sale.
If this interest-free loan from Uncle Sam doesn’t sound like such a good deal, consider this example posted by the NAHB:
Assuming an interest rate of 7 percent and a maximum credit, you will save $4,200 in interest payments over the full payback period. Compare this to financing $7,500 as part of a 30-year, 7 percent mortgage, the credit is worth more than $8,100 in interest payments.
So buying your long awaited home NOW means you could wipe out what you will owe in taxes this year by as much as $7,500, or you may even qualify to get a check in the mail from Uncle Sam.
*You qualify as a First Time Homebuyer if you have not had an ownership interest in a primary residence in the three years immediately proceeding your closing date.

What Slowdown? DiMaio Just Sold Two More Homes!
Posted by Cliff Mensch | Leave A Comment »
Everyone keeps talking about the slow down in the San Diego real estate market, but DiMaio Estates in Escondido sold two more homes this past week!
Eve Martin, the on site agent, just won’t let the rest of the real estate industry slow down her community from selling out! Great value always comes through. When you have a gorgeous community with no melo roos, no HOA fees and a low tax base — well, that translates to a lower payment and quick home sales.
Some people may be intimidated by the market, but DiMaio estates has such a great formula set up that buying a home has never been more affordable!
Give Eve a call for more ideas on great deals or stop by for a private tour; we’re open daily except for Wednesdays and Tuesdays.
DiMaio phone number: (760) 781-1152
