We get asked quite a bit, what happens if your property does not appraise at value? We recently sold a home for a dear friend of ours in La Mesa and that is exactly what happened. Here's the story... This home is a unique property in the area for a couple reasons. First, it has been beautifully refinished to an updated mid-century modern style. Second, the location and size of lot were unique compared to homes in the area. We anticipated that we would need to draw as much attention to the property as possible and we may potentially have an issue with appraising at value due to the uniqueness of this property.

When looking at comparable properties, we knew we needed to be very strategic in our pricing. Our goal was to sell for around $660,000 and…

When it comes to marketing a luxury listing, it is not one size fits all! In order to provide the most exposure to find the right buyer, we hosted a casino night with over 100 brokers and sales associates in attendance. This custom estate did not disappoint, with views over Poway, indoor/outdoor entertaining, full bar, and plenty of space to enjoy poker tables, roulette, and craps. Here at the Seaman Team, marketing matters... and why not make it a little fun!

One of our favorite events of the year is our annual Seaman Team Holiday party, when we celebrate everyone who has supported us in our business! This year we tried a new venue and it did not disappoint. We held the event at Veloce Motors The Vault off Miramar Road. It combines classic, exotic, and collectible car storage with a unique venue for events and meetings. The space allowed room for gourmet pizzas to be cooked in the fire oven, while grilling fresh tri-tip on the grill. All food was prepared and cooked on site by Gran Sol Catering and drinks were flowing at the bar.  Our raffle drawings included golf packages, Silver Oak wine packages, restaurant gift certificates, Mission Bay Sport Center gift certificates, and Seaman Team swag, to…

Our mid-term election is just around the corner... November 6th to be exact! While this isn't a presidential election there are many new measures and positions up for election. We don't claim ourselves to be political experts by any means. However, there are several real estate related measures and propositions on the ballot, specifically Prop 5, Prop 10, and National City's Measure W. What does this all mean and how can you make sense of it?

We recently sold a property on Windcrest Lane that is situated on the closed Carmel Mountain Ranch golf course. You may think... "They must have had to drop their value to sell with that eyesore from their backyard." ... NOT TRUE! We sold the home for $46,000 ABOVE the competing agent's recommendation. 

Here were a few simple updates that were made to the home:

  • window washing and replaced a few windows with broken seals
  • installed new door handles
  • painted the interior…

As of July 8th of this year, the Carmel Mountain Golf Course has closed.  There has been fencing put up all around the course, the water has been shut off and all maintenance has halted, which has become a real eyesore for the community.  We are reaching out to those residents who are living on and around the course to provide guidance on what is happening with the real estate market in the area.  We have the first single family home that has closed escrow on the course since the announcement of the closure in July and have actual experience in what the market is doing on the course.  There are approximately 670 homes that are situated directly on the course and we would love to help those who have questions or concerns.
