"“Having sold 5 houses I consider myself an experienced seller. In the process I have met very good and very bad agents, but after spending some time with Carlos I can surely say that he is the best by far. He is very attentive to detail and always there when needed. I am very happy with the entire process and would recommend to anyone”."
Alex Reed Sun Aug 12, 2007
"“As a first time home buyer I had no idea on what to do. Carlos was very patient and was able to guide me through all the necessary steps needed to become a homeowner. He sat with me many times and showed me on a very easy to understand way the monetary implications of my decisions. With his help and advice I was able to make the right choices. Gracias Carlos”."
Peter Gonzales Mon May 22, 2006
"“I met Carlos through a social MENSA event. At the time I was trying to sell my house on my own trying to save some money on the transaction. Carlos was able to sell my house a lot faster and he helped me avoid a potentially serious legal issue. Carlos is definitely one of the smartest and nicest persons I know”."

Ron Manoogian, Home Buyer in Phoenix

I would like to know what the current avilibility , as far as foreclusure is. Thank You, Ron Manoogian

Asked Sun Nov 16 2008, 23:35 by Ron Manoogian  -  Phoenix  -  Home Buying  -  6 answers
Carlos answered:
Ron,

On that zip code alone there are at least 124 foreclosed (bank owned) properties currently for sale. In addition to the automatic searches an agent experirienced in foreclosures can provide you a lot of additional help when working with foreclosures. Not all available foreclosures will show on the automatic searches and many of the ones shown already have multiple offers on them.

Please let me know if you would like further information or help.

Good luck! - Yesterday, 12:43
Lisa, Home Buyer in Chandler

How much less than the offer price can you offer on a foreclosed home?

Asked Tue Nov 11 2008, 18:55 by Lisa  -  Chandler  -  Foreclosure  -  9 answers
Carlos answered:
Lisa

The short answer is that it depends. Some banks are a lot more aggressive when pricing than others. To make to most out of it your Realtor will have to pull several comparables of recently sold properties and several active properties, and then adjust for their differences, upgrades, condition, etc. It is a fairly time consuming process.

Even knowing which bank owned the property helps. With experience we get to know which banks are more flexible than others.

It will also depend on how long it has been on the market, the property history in terms of price reductions, property conditions, specific area market, etc...

Let me know if we can be of service to you, we are foreclosure specialist and have a deep knowledge in the area. I also work and live in Chandler, so I know the area very well.

Good luck! - Tue Nov 11 2008, 19:17
Nimh, Home Buyer in Tempe

I am Mexican, I have a Visa right now for 3 years , Can I get a loan to buy a house ?

Asked Sat Nov 8 2008, 14:52 by Nimh  -  Tempe  -  Home Buying  -  8 answers
Carlos answered:
Nimh,

Most probably yes. I work with a lender, who is also Mexican, and works a lot of those cases. Give me a call or send me a email and I will put you in contact with him.

Good luck! - Sat Nov 8 2008, 17:20
Patty, Home Buyer in Arizona

I have a pricing question regarding the house on 7123 w montecito ave Phoenix aZ 85033.

Asked Thu Nov 6 2008, 13:51 by Patty  -  85033  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
Carlos answered:
Hi Patricia,

That property is temporarily off market, the bank is waiting for clear title, and should be back on the market very soon.

If you wish I can watch it and let you know the minute it goes back into the market. In addition to that one we have other great deals on the area and we can provide you information on those ones as well if you wish. We are foreclosure specialist and have agents that work the area.

Good luck! - Thu Nov 6 2008, 14:09
Phyllis Mcco…, Home Buyer in Tempe

Does this property have a lien holder and if so who? How much are taxes? Thanks.

Asked Wed Nov 5 2008, 11:48 by Phyllis Mcco…  -  Tempe  -  Home Buying  -  5 answers
Carlos answered:
Phyllis,

The information can be obtained, but that is a regular sale (not short sale or foreclosure), and if it has a lien holder or not should be transparent to the buyer.

Taxes for 2008 were $1,551.

It seems like a nice property, but there are some other better deals in the area. Let me know if you would like more information.

Good luck! - Wed Nov 5 2008, 12:28
