About Me
Providing 'REAL' Service (SM)
Providing real estate services is just not enough these days. There are many realtors who have learned to buy and sell property; it has been my goal to exceed the typical and traditional style of representation and take it up a notch to actually provide more personal service than is typically expected. I like to look for ways to surprise my clients throughout the transaction process by giving service that would hopefully be rated above average. Enjoy your tour though this site and contact me to let me begin 'Providing REAL Service' (SM) to you.
A Little Bit About June Lizotte

June stepped back to a part-time career in order to raise a family and later became involved again in the real estate sales arena after a move to Colorado, where she worked for a builder promoting new construction until she was recruited by a top producing agent to become a personal assistant. That was when the spark ignited again to become licensed and emerge again full time as a professional real estate broker. Her passion is " Providing REAL Service" (SM) to her clients and she welcomes you to contact her. Rural, Residential, First-time Investors, Commercial, Land, First-time Home Buyers....everyone is entitled to the best service possible! June has a passion for people as well as for real estate.

June Lizotte's Answers (72)
June Lizotte answered:
As in any neighborhood where zoning allows for more density you run a risk of having potential growth as time moves forward. However, it appears that is not really the immediate concern in this case in the neighborhood you're describing as all are detached single family at present.
What a good question: But the answer is so vast there is no way to give you assurances that are absolute. A detached single family home-owner in the midst of high density units will have more pressure to reduce price in the future because of its location--unless you are the one property hinging or bridging a gap someone needs for their expansion. Then you hold the trump card in many cases. There are exceptions of coarse, in the case of eminant domain,- but that too doesn't seem the probability here by your description. If you are thinking of buying for long-term-living in the property you'll have to consider all the possibilities. You can check with the county/city (depending on location) to see if there are any applications on file for dividing lots in that area or for large expansion or development of any kind. Also, are there signs of construction of new units already started? These investigations will help you see any trend starting. However, even if the zoning allows division of the property, the placement of the existing structure may well prevent or greatly complicate the division. There would potentially need to be destruction of one to build two- or total restructuring of the one to create two. Someone buying NOW while its all still single family will benefit in the future if they sit on someone elses gold mine. You may well benefit from resale yourself if you are the one to develop the property later. So there isn't too much danger in huge losses unless you buy it at a price that is unreasonable right now. But to use these scenerios to negotiate the price you'll offer may be too far out in the future for sellers to consider worth considering. Your offer price should be based on good comps of recently solds in the neighborhood rather than potential long-range density. Unless I'm totally misunderstanding your question, this is a reasonabally realistic answer. but none of the experts can guarantee limited future development. The best way to set your mind at ease will be your investigations with the city and county entities. If you don't yet have a realtor representing your best interests and helping you through the process, please consider checking out my web site and/or give me a call. All my contact information is listed there. Best to you!!

Buying while the inventory is strong is always in the buyer's favor as it gives you the advantage. Buying with knowledge is also always in the buyers favor. Buying based on National News Reports in not in the buyer's favor because the national stats don't apply to certain individual ever-active markets which have now opened up; those previously more challenging efforts toward homeownership have changed- yes; the market has flattened-allowing buyers to get some fantastic deals. Rates being lower and prices being more reasonsble means buyer's are finally able to gain the position they want to establish home-ownership in the Portland Metro area. Those looking for a long-term investment are smart to enter the market now. The investors who are buying short sales will also do well with adequate planning if they go about it right. (However, Sellers should beware of those offering a quick out from would-be 'helpers' who say they'll get them out of their debt. There are a lot of scams which take advantage of the sellers facing foreclosure. There are new regulations related to dealing with short sales. A buyer would do well to read up on it. Go tohttp:// www.osbar.org to read all the new legislation. (that little helpful hint is free of charge! :)
The strategy varies for buyers based upon the type and cost of property, your investment goals and the length of planned ownership. Get an agent who will help you think through all of this... and not just try to get you to buy regardless of your goals. Feel free to count on me for that type of help. My clients can count on me to be their realtor for life. That means I'm not just in it for the quick closing. Your dreams, goals and investment risks are top priority. I want you to be happy by encouraging well thought out plans and informed decisions. Give me a call or email jlizotte@prunw.com to establish contact. Feel free to check out my web site. And Best To You!

The best time to buy is when you know you're making an investment in something that is the best deal compared with the competition. If you are looking at property that someone is trying to get out of because they bought at the top of the market in the last year, then slow down- its the wrong move. You might want to consider a property that has been in the owner's possession for quite some time. Then look at the price; have your agent do a thorough market analysis to determine what a fair price would be based on recent sales. Then have your agent negotiate negotiate negotiate on your behalf.
Real example: home was owned for over 30 years by one owner; he died, kids want their inheritance; house needs some work...I bring buyer, negotiate for seller to pay 9900 in cc&pp's and to provide Home Warranty, then inspection shows issues...I negotiate for seller to cover enough to make home "safe" by HVAC and Electric standards, sellers want out so after hem, haw, negotiate...they ok to get it sold. The buyer will come out with a home they got for a below market price, a great warranty which allows for pre-existing conditions, all cc & pp paid and enough left in that to cover to buy down a rate to 5.25% fixed for 30. There is instant equity and as soon as they plunk in another 10K the appraisal will be increased by 30K or so. A deal is out there for you; patience and an realtor who will work for you is the key. This deal took some time because I wouldn't settle for the usual negotiations. Knowing how to take advantage of the opportunities that are out there and applying some unique "now" negotiation strategies will help you find just the right investment. Contact me via my web site if you would like help in your search. Best to you!

Ellie, Hello; it's true that a one bedroom will be tougher to sell when you're ready for the next move, which is what most are referring to when they say it's a bad investment. However, you'll still see appreciation if you are well instructed and have great representation (Realtor) who will do the work necessary to insure you are able to make a great decision on price to offer. There are many available 1 and 2 bedroom places and you may also find the difference in price worth the investment for a 2 bedroom. If you would like to see the availability of all one and two bedrooms in the area and price range of your interest please check out my web site. You can set up your own secure login, save searches and more. Or I can set up a custom Home Finder, which will automatically send you listings that match your criteria as they come available, including price reductions as they happen. If you would like help please email me through my web site and I'll be happy to assist you. I suggest you check my quality service rating out also onhttp:// www.qualityservice.org- where my clients report the quality of service they received to an independent survey company. My ratings are posted for all to view. There is a box at the top of that home page to 'search for real estate professional'. Just check the box, add my name June Lizotte- and location 'Oregon'. You won't be disappointed. I would love to help you when you are ready to begin looking for your new place.
June Lizotte answered:
First to answer the original question above, My advice is to ask your 'new' realtor to get someone to work with him/her so you can have good representation if you meant that realtor is new in the industry.
I agree, Realtors can and should offer opinion; but not so much an opinion of what to offer- rather opinion on whether the sale price on the home is really in the ball park of similar homes recently sold or listed for sale. Your realtor may have to pull data from a larger bulls eye search. Look at what is for sale in the neighborhood, even if they aren't good comps. You'll be able to see price ranges...Just so you know, that price, unless the home is a dump will be competitive according to my recent searches in that area. Be on top of it and get your data quickly.

I meant to answer the second part of your question as well. Your realtor is the one who will help you with the negotiations. That's what we're trained for. If you don't have a realtor for your deal on this end I would be happy to pick up where you are having difficulties and arrange to help with these negoations and look over all file details you've covered so far. You need someone working on your behalf. Are you buying a listed home or a for sale by unrepresented seller? Please respond to this email on my private email address if you wish to have some help getting you to the closing table. You need to have your liabilities covered. my email is jlizotte@prunw.com
Unfortunately your questions need to be answered by actual contractors to be accurate. Without knowing the extent of the roof issue or the damage by the roots in the sewer line even a contractor couldn't give you an estimate without actually seeing it.
Specialties
My specialty is my Quality of Service! With a tag line such as mine...Providing REAL Service (SM)... there is only one option; to try to give the best service possible in the industry. Read my profile and check out the ratings collected form past clients via an independent Leading Research Corporation. I was recently awarded the PLATINUM award for achieveing perfect service ratings which are the highest in the industry. Those ratings are taken directly from my clients- not collected by me. I'm happy that my clients were able to give such good feedback on the serveys that were sent to them.
