About Me
Welcome and thank you for visiting my nformation page. 90% of my business is referred to me by my clients, friends and family members. This means that the high level of service I provide, motivates people to tell their friends about the how I have helped them.
I am dedicated to earning your trust and respect long before I ask for your business. I work with a wide range of clients and especially like to work with first time buyers and first time sellers.

I am a 3rd generation southern California native. My wife Cathy and I are Simi Valley residents and have 4 wonderful children. My local knowledge and experience as a family man creates a strong ally for your real estate needs. I would love to make you a part of my client appreciation program, call or send an email today.

Testimonials
"Hi, Ted,
Belatedly, I'm writing to thank you for the bottle of wine you gave us for Christmas. We were gone over the Christmas holiday, and then came down with the two-week bug that seems to be going around, so by the time I was back on my feet a few things had slipped through the cracks. When I got your card last week I remembered that I owed you a thank-you note for a fine bottle of wine.Congratulations on your impressive sales production for 2007 and being elected Treasurer of the Simi Valley/Moorpark Association of Realtors.
I trust the current situation in the housing and mortgage markets isn't hitting you too hard. I know that if anybody is prepared to
weather a down market it's you with your persistence, hard work and smart marketing. It must have been God's plan that you kept showing up and building a relationship with us so that we knew where to turn when we finally got ready to sell. If not for that, we would have dithered about for just long enough to have been caught in the current stagnation and downward price spiral. We have been so fortunate!
I hope all is well with your family. We're fine and we like living at Villa del Arroyo with the possums, rabbits, raccoons and strange birds
that sing in the dark. Well...the jury's still out on the raccoons. I surprised a large one after midnight the other night, trying to rip open the screen door to our porch (we've had it enclosed). I think it was going for the cat food. The cheeky devil ambled off pretty casually when I shouted at it. We continue to excavate boxes, trying to whittle down the quantity of stuff in the house. I'm still working full-time and not too energetic when I get home at night so it's taking longer that I had imagined to get this place squared away. When you have the time I've love for you to introduce us to the friends you mentioned who live here at Villa del Arroyo. I'm sure it will make me green with envy to see what our house could look like given enough time and money!
John and I wish you continued success, peace and good health in 2008.
Be assured that if the opportunity arises we will recommend and refer you.
Fran"

Ted Mackel answered:
It's a rental. Was not listed in the MLS for sale. Title does not show any recent transfers. May be a Trulia error?
Ted Mackel answered:
Sounds like you are buying an REO with a FHA or VA loan. The Bank (the Seller) works on their time frame and serious coordination between your lender, Realtor and the Seller is critical. If your lender is not giving you updates, call them tomorrow (Monday) and tell them you want to be updated every couple of days are more frequently.

Carmen,
To have a valid contract and escrow you have to have some money involved. Your down payment money needs to tied to a purchase agreement that protects that down payment money until you do your due diligence.
This is a Coldwell Banker listing. The listing agent has already agreed to split their commission with an agent member of the MLS that represents the Buyer. You can bring your own agent to the table to negotiate for you and protect your interests in the transaction.
This is an older unit, physical inspections and termite inspections are critical. If you have questions go to my profile and call or send an email.

Diego,
To answer the second part of your question, is that the Bank that owns the property will pay any back property taxes before transferring Title to the buyer.

Ana,
It depends on where you are looking. There is a big difference between large acreage in Los Angeles County vs Ventura County. In Ventura County the two zoning designations you will be working with are Agriculture 40 and Open Space 40. Most of the properties will be listed in the MLS, however there are a few people who do specialize in this property in Ventura and they probably have some inside information through their contacts and relationships that is not available on the internet or MLS.
