Testimonials

"I just wanted to stop a minute and offer thanks from Mary & me for all the effort you put in on our behalf. In one of our first exchanges you said that we "wouldn't find anyone who would work harder for (us)" and that certainly proved true. Now that we're about done, I believe that we couldn't have made a better choice! Your advice and tactics were virtually always right on target."

"“I have utilized MaryAnn's expertise more than once. My first experience with MaryAnn was to purchase our home, although we had specific needs that were challenging, and no knowledge of how to buy a home, she provided numerous properties to choose from and did this quickly and very professinally handholding us every step of the way! We are still in that home today and love it. She also has assisted with connecting us to expert finacial assistance when refinancing. Having MaryAnn as a professional resource and a friend has been a very rewarding experience. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Sandy B.” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity"

We are looking at buying a house with 2 non permitted additions. What are the risks?

MaryAnn Morrar, Broker answered:

Hi Ritu
You have gotten some good advice. Have you made an offer? and is it on the California Association of Realtor form? If so please review item 9A of the contract regarding inspections and government agencies - Sat Nov 15 2008, 11:19

Hi Ritu
What do you mean by a room on the first floor? Converted garage? I don't think the odds of getting a fine are your greatest risk. I would be concerned about health and safety issues and is the area insurable.
Appraisers don't normally pull building permits so unless there are red flags to alert the appraiser of unpermitted rooms they may be included in the valuation of the home.
Depending on the size of the home 800 square feet is a lot of area. - Sat Nov 15 2008, 07:36

Is now a good time for a Canadian investor to purchase real estate in San Diego?

Asked Sun Nov 9 2008, 16:05 by Dustin Tysick - San Diego - Home Buying - 7 answers

MaryAnn Morrar, Broker answered:

Hi Dustin,
Right now maybe a good time. We don't know when we have hit bottom until it's past. What price range are you thinking about? Some areas like 4S Ranch have great prices right now about 20% or more below the peak. Carmel Valley has not dropped very much and still has good demand. - Sun Nov 9 2008, 16:25
