• Monthly Home Buyers’ Seminar – Saturday 11am-12:30pm

  Apr, 19 13 Post by: Keno Rider | No Comments

  My partner, Jodi Barmash, and I will be giving our monthly Home Buyers’ Seminars this Saturday morning at our office at 7920 W Sunset Blvd.

  We’ve just added a NEW section on Strategies on Getting Your Offer Accepted in an Insanely Competitive Sellers’ Market.

  Join us along with Dana Dukelow of Surety Financial, who will answer all your mortgage questions, and Robert Cohen of Farmers Insurance, who will inform you about the ins and out of buying home insurance. We will have lite refreshments and a door prize.

  Please RSVP at LAHomeBuyersSeminar@gmail.com or call me directly at 310-807-6169. And check out our new website at www.LAHomeBuyersSeminars.com.

  We will be discussing Courthouse Foreclosures, Short Sales and REOs (lender-owned properties) and can show you which of these offers you the best deals in purchasing real estate. We will also discuss special programs available through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD, which offer some of the best loan programs currently on the market.

  We will also go over Escrows, Taxes and Title Insurance, Closing Costs and walk you through the somewhat daunting process of purchasing property in Southern California. We explain how and why you are often more protected here as a consumer than when you purchase property in another state.

  We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

• Open House: 1327 N Orange Grove Units

  Feb, 08 13 Post by: Keno Rider | No Comments

  I will be holding an open house on both Saturday and Sunday, from 1 pm to 4 pm, 1327 N Orange Grove in the historic Spaulding Square district, just north of Fountain and just west of Fairfax.

  If you’re not familiar with Spaulding Square, it’s one of the coolest neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles. This eight block square was built between 1916 and 1926 by architect Albert Spaulding, and comprises many beautiful Craftsman homes. Most of the early residents were silent film stars and directors. Lucille Ball once lived here! In 1993, Spaulding Square was designated a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone by the city of Los Angeles, which helps to preserve the historic architecture found here.

  1327 N Orange Grove is a legally “grandfathered” duplex with two additional units, all with excellent rents. Three of the units can be delivered vacant. The price was just dropped to $999,000 and we are expecting multiple offers.

  This is bot h a great investment opportunity and a chance to refurbish a California bungalow in a coveted Los Angeles neighborhood.

  Hope you are able to drop by sometime this weekend.

  Saturday Seminar Reminder

  Just before the Open House on Saturday, I will be hosting our 11 am Home Buyers’ Seminar at my office at 7920 W Sunset Blvd. Stop by for the seminar and a light brunch, then come to the Open House after.

  We will cover all kinds of Foreclosures — including Short Sales, REOs (real estate owned by lenders) and court step auctions. You’ll learn where best to focus to find the best deals out there. And we’ll give our insight on what’s currently happening in the real estate market.

  And we’ll even hand our a door prize or two!
