Micki,
The property was removed from the market about 4 days ago. There are condos in the adjacent complex priced right above $200K. Go to http://www.RemaxNV.com and you can conduct a search. I have a showing in the yacht club area tomorrow and would be happy to meet up and show a few condos. You can reach me at 707-254-9999 or email Mike@MikeBolen.com - Mon Oct 13 2008, 22:21

Most attorneys that handle evictions on a regular basis have a flat fee for service. To my knowledge none of my clients have ever used an "eviction service" so a cannot speak to that. I would simply find a local attorney who specializes in eviction. - Wed Jul 30 2008, 13:47

Mark,
In the event that such unit is occupied by someone other than the Trustor, a 30 Day Notice to Quit is required.

Once served, such notice must expire before the commencement of any action in Unlawful Detainer. Once an Unlawful Detainer is filed, it must be served on the defendant/tenant. If personal service is available, such defendant has 5 days within which to respond to the complaint. If not able to serve personally, an order to post and mail such complaint must be obtained from the court. Such post and mail service will add a minimum of 15 days to the response period.

Once served, the matter can take two courses. One, being where the defendant does not respond to the complaint. In such an event, a default is requested and a judgment for possession should be available within 10 days of such default. Such judgment is than forwarded to the County Sheriff for execution.

If the Defendant does answer the complaint, a trial request is forwarded to the court and the trial in the action is ordinarily set within 20 days of such request. Once judgment is entered by the court, such judgment is forwarded, in a form of a Writ of Possession, to the Sheriff for execution.

Thus, an eviction that does not involve any delay tactics by the defendant should be completed within 30 to 40 days after the expiration of the Notice To Quit.

As indicated above, once a judgment for possession is obtained, it must be forwarded to the County Sheriff for execution. The Sheriff could take approximately three weeks to actually conduct the lock-out. Adding such additional time to the time necessary for an unlawful detainer action, an Unlawful Detainer action in which the defendant does not use any delay tactics takes approximately one and a half to two months to complete. - Tue Jul 29 2008, 20:56

Teresa keep in mind an agent is bound by certain legal obligations. Traditionally, these common-law obligations are to: Put the client's interests above anyone else's; Keep the client's information confidential; Obey the client's lawful instructions; Report to the client anything that would be useful; and Account to the client for any money involved.

NOTE: A REALTOR® is held to an even higher standard of conduct under the NAR’s Code of Ethics. In recent years, state laws have been passed setting up various duties for different types of agents. As you start working with a REALTOR®, ask for a clear explanation of your state's current regulations, so that you will know where you stand on these important matters.

Their is a big difference between a buyer's and a seller's broker
Suppose you sign an offer to buy a home for $150,000. You really want the property and there's a chance other offers are coming in, so you tell the broker that "We'll go up to $160,000 if we have to. But of course don't tell that to the seller." If you're dealing with a seller's agent, he or she may be duty-bound to tell the seller that important fact. In most states, the seller's agent doesn't have any duty of confidentiality toward you. Honest treatment might require that the agent warn you that "I must convey to the seller anything that would be useful so don't tell me anything you wouldn't tell the seller." So I reccomend buyers use a buyers broker. Bruce makes a great point on credentials look for a broker rather than simply a salesperson this is the only agent distinction conveyed by the California Department Of Real Estate between agents. You may ask does the agent have an active real estate license in good standing? To find this information, you can check the California Department Of Real Estate website http://www2.dre.ca.gov/PublicASP/pplinfo.asp on this website simply type in the agent name to see if they have a "clean" record you can also check their license status "Salesperson" or "Broker".

Other questions to ask:
Does the agent belong to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and/or a reliable online home buyer’s search service? Multiple Listing Services are cooperative information networks of REALTORS® that provide descriptions of most of the houses for sale in a particular region.

Is real estate their full-time career? A real full time agent has active listings and recent sales

What real estate designations does the agent hold?

Which party is he or she representing--you or the seller? This discussion is supposed to occur early on, at "first serious contact" with you. The agent should discuss your state's particular definitions of agency, so you'll know where you stand.

In exchange for your commitment, how will the agent help you accomplish your goals? Show you homes that meet your requirements and provide you with a list of the properties he or she is showing you? - Fri Jul 18 2008, 10:04
