About Me

Hello and thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me. I entered the real estate industry back in 2004 and first joined Prudential California Realty. I was awarded the "Rising Star Award" my first year. Over the next several years, I earned my Accredited Buyer Representation (ABR), Graduate Realty Institute (GRI), and Internet Marketing Specialist (e-Pro) designation.

I joined RE/MAX OTB Estates in 2006 and was awarded Top Producing New Agent in 2006. I was featured in the Los Angeles Times as one of the Top 20 Agents in my company. I'm also a member of the prestigious President's Advisory Council with RE/MAX OTB Estates. This Council consists of the top 8 agents in our company.

What sets me apart from other agents is my knowledge of the Internet. If you’re a seller, you’ll want to work with an agent who will use the Internet to attract the most amount of buyers to your home. If you’re a buyer, you’ll want the tools and resources available to find the right home. As a full time professional Realtor, you’ll be working with the best.

If I agree to buy a property "as-is" but also have an inspection contingency, how does that work?

Asked Tue Aug 26 2008, 00:55 by Cleo Jones - Los Angeles - Home Buying - 12 answers

Richard M. Johnston answered:

Hi Cleo, no property is every sold 'As-Is". The only reason the listing agent or seller would state that is because they want you to know that no repairs are going to be made. But, during a coarse of investigating, if you find a serious problem with the home, nobody is going to force you to buy it. Please consult with your real estate agent for professional advice. - Tue Sep 2 2008, 21:12

The status of the house is now "looking for back-up offers, what are my chances to be able to buy it?

Asked Mon Sep 1 2008, 18:57 by llaneque - Los Angeles - Home Buying - 11 answers

Richard M. Johnston answered:

Your chances can be great because the listing agent has doubts about the first offer. I suggest you write the offer and see what happens. In the meantime, continue looking for a home. - Tue Sep 2 2008, 21:08
