Testimonials
"Escrow closed today, as planned, and this seller is quite happy. I'm very pleased to have worked with you in the past and today on a total of two sales and one purchase, each one resulting in flawless tranactions.
Your professionalism is stellar and your patience immense. Your advice proved itself to be the very best in all facets of my real estate experience with you, from setting the price, negotiation of the offers, navigating through all of the red tape, and arriving at successful, on-time closings each time.
I will recommend you highly to anyone needing the best in real estate"

"Joyce and Greg were of invaluable assistance to me when I decided to relocate to Camarillo. Not only showing me many houses to choose from but driving me around the local areas pointing out the local venues of interest.
In addition to being delightful companions, they were both efficient and highly competent. I would not hesitate to use them for any future real estae transactions I might have!""

"We want to thank Greg and Joyce for making our dream of home ownership. In 15 minutes of our conversation in the very first meeting you understood what we were looking for. The house we bought was from the first set of five houses you showed us.
Being first-time buyers you educated us on everything we need to know. And last but not least the trust and personal relationship you built around us is commendable.
I would say everyone in every walk of like should have these qualities no matter what one does. We greatly appreciate for these and much more. We look forward to working with you again. Keep up the good work!"

"Kaci and I wanted to really let you both know how grateful we are for all that you did in helping us buy our first house. We could not be any happier with the ultimate outcome.
You guys treated us like we were buying a 2 million dollar
property.
Anyone who will listen I try and tell how enjoyable our experience was with you both. As long as you guys are in the business you will be our realtors for life."

"This (move) has been very difficult for all involved -- even Joyce and Greg.

I am glad we selected the two of you, I think you two are good people"

Joyce Zangmeister answered:
David,
One-story homes seem to be a premium! As you might imagine one story homes cost more to build than the same square footage if the house were a two story. The foundation is would be larger, roof line larger, plus the lot would need to be larger to accommodate a one-story home. The trend has been for builders to build large homes on small lots. The folks who desire to purchase a one-story home get fewer and fewer choices.
With that being said, there are several one-story homes currently for sale in the eastern side of Thousand Oaks which would be near the Lang Ranch development. I have attached the information below with five such homes.
If you would like further assistance in finding a one-story home, my partner and I would welcome the opportunity to work for you.

Franci,
The Ventura County Star recently did an article about rentals. The article compared Ventura County to other areas in the state as well as cities within Ventura County.
Here's a link to the post http://805local.com/2008/09/26/ventura-county-rents/
It is an in-depth report complete with interactive charts. Hope this helps!

Your real estate agent is right in that you will not get a set of the CCR's and rules until they come through escrow. BUT you can easily call the property management company for the association. The management company will tell you what the HOA fees cover and don't cover.
The Casa de Oaks in Thousand Oaks is managed by Integrity and their phone number is (818) 865-0330. Integrity should be of help and answer your questions. Your agent should know this.

Allen,
It sounds like you are getting a good deal on the REO. It also sounds like you need to run this scenario by your lender to see if you can get loan approval based on keeping your condo as a rental. The lending guidelines have changed and tightened. Your lender will be able to tell you if it is possible.

Grace,
You are buying a home. Don't buy in a 'bad' area. Get yourself ready to buy.
Here's my 'homeowork' for you: 1. Get fully approved with a solid lender who has access to many different loan programs. Learn about the different loan programs and ways to finance your future home. 2. Find a Realtor that you can relate to. 3. Start getting auto emails from your Realtor of the areas of interest. 4. Drive by the areas of interest; do you like the neighborhood? 5. Look at four properties with your Realtor every couple of weeks. 6. Eliminate areas and properties that you do not like. 7. Be ready when a property that you like comes on the market.
If you do these above steps, you will be ready when the right property comes on the market. You will be an educated buyer and you will know what is a good property and value when the time comes.

When I am not working with buyers and sellers, you will find me being "Rachael Ray" in the kitchen attempting to prepare fine food in thirty minutes or less. I have not written my official cookbook yet but it is in the making. Food Channel watch out....
Another one of my favorites interests is working in my garden. Ventura County has the perfect weather. Now if I could just find the perfect plants that care for themselves when I get busy. I'm not ready for HGTV......
Yoga. Yoga. What a great way to relax and refresh. No channel for that yet.
