Testimonials
"Reviewed by Heather L. My mother had been in a awful situation all alone in AR. I wanted to bring her to LA to be closer to me, but there was no way that we could have afforded a home for her in the city. From 90 miles away in Temecula Lisa Forss was able to find my mom a wonderful home in her price range. She walked us through the entire process and helped us above and beyond what any other real estate agent has ever done for me. She made us feel like we were buying a mansion even though we were lower end buyers. I cannot recommend her enough!!!!"

Wolf Creek Community in Temecula, CA

Lisa, Goran Forss answered:
Great community and close to everything. Our team specialize in BANK OWNED homes and we actually just listed a really beautiful turnkey bank owned home in the community with almost 3000 SF and a backyard at almost 8000 SF. It is priced to sell quickly and we're pretty sure it won't be available for long.
Here's its website if anyone is interested. http://www.SouthTemecula.com - Thu Jul 24 2008, 15:19

Here's some info "from the other side".
We represent a large nationwide bank and we typically respond within 24 hours, even within the same day on any offer or counter offer. The agent that represent the bank has to be responsive and the bank's asset mgr has to be fast as well. Here's how fast it went on the most recent transaction which was finalized this morning at 730am: Last night we received an offer on one of the bank properties. We submitted it to the bank (via their portal) late last night and at 7am this morning we received a counter offer from the asset mgr (north east USA) which was comunicated within 5 minutes to the buyer's agent. The buyer's agent came back within 10 minutes with a counter offer, which was immediately submitted to the bank. After just 5 minutes the bank accepted the buyer's counter offer! So, the price and terms were agreed between seller and buyer at 7:30am. Please note, most banks are probably NOT that responsive, and most agents are probably not either. Short sales are completely different and requires lots of patience. Kind regards, /Goran and Lisa. - Wed Dec 26 2007, 21:12
Lisa, Goran Forss answered:
You are correct, at least in Temecula and Murrieta. During the past week, 21 homes sold in Temecula and Murrieta. Out of the 21 homes that sold (closed) 16 were bank owned or short sales! The remaining 5 homes were new builder sales and resales. In Temecula and Murrieta, we see the bank owned properties increase for 2008 and it will be a pretty difficult market for "regular" sellers. Banks must sell. They are not going to lease out their home or decide to "take it off the market". For example, the banks we represent lower the price every 30 days until it sells and they respond within 48 hours, typically the next day. Short sales can be great opportunities but they are very often time consuming and slow to respond. For short sales you must be patient. - Wed Dec 19 2007, 19:42
