El Segundo Home

Charming Home Hits the Market at 841 Loma Vista

One of the nice aspects of El Segundo is that, unlike some of its neighbor cities to the south, it still retains a small town feel.  One of the reasons forEl Segundo Home this is that instead of every “beach bungalow” being torn down and replace with mini mansions that overwhelm the smaller lots, many homes are updated and upgraded and have their original charm.  841 Loma Vista is one of these.

Termite Fumigation in El Segundo

So What Is the Termite Inspection Process During and Escrow

As many of my clients are first time home buyers, the process of the termite inspection and termite/wood destroying pest repair process is often a bit confusing.  Unlike any traditional repair requests that come up during the escrow process, the termite inspection and repairs are generally agreed upon prior to acceptance and are therefore contractual and non-negotiable during escrow.

During the offer there are two times the inspection and work can be mentioned.  The Residential Purchase Agreement specifies whether an inspection will be performed and who will pay for it.  Another document called the WPA or wood destroying pest addendum can also be included in the offer and goes into greater detail explaining what will be inspected, who will pay for it, and if there is any work needed per the inspection, who pays for the work.  Most often sellers agree to pay for both the inspection and, what’s known as, section 1 recommendations.  This often includes wood repair, spot treatment and sometimes fumigation (tenting).  Every negotiation is different and some will not agree to pay for an inspection or the work.  Regardless I advise my sellers to have an inspection even if they are paying for it themselves as simply put…it makes a big unknown more understood and decisions can then be based on the results.  There are a number of challenges and problems that can be caused by the termite uncertainty and I’ve listed several here.2013-12-03 13.55.42

Pocket Listings in El Segundo

With the extremely tight inventory of homes for sale in the South Bay, many buyers approach me looking for off market, or pocket listings. Pocket listings and exclusive listings are the hot trend at the moment as eager buyers clamor for a chance to purchase a home without all of the competition. In this market knowing about it first may not ultimately make a difference, but it certainly helps. Many agents seem to be trying to keep listings private as well in the hopes that perhaps they can represent both buyer and seller, which is much easier if fewer agents know that the home is for sale. So what do the terms actually mean? A pocket listing can be anything from a realtor simply knowing about a home that a seller might consider selling and not having a listing agreement, to something coming to the market but not yet on the MLS, to the intentional withholding of the listing from the MLS.  Sign up for information on El Segundo pocket listings.

But is it beneficial to the seller? In terms of price, exposure, etc. the answer is generally no. The more exposure the home gets, the more potential buyers see it, and the likelihood that it will sell for a better price and with more favorable terms for the seller. Eliminate that competition and generally speaking the chances of such favorable terms decrease.

There are very legitimate reasons for exclusive or “pocket” listings and for keeping the property off the market…..work being completed, tenant issues, or simply a seller who doesn’t want the world touring their home. Seller’s just need to be sure that the reasons for keeping a home off of the South Bay MLS are beneficial to them….and not just to the listing agents.

Whether keeping a listing from the MLS is good or bad for the seller ultimately depends on the situation and whose best interest is the primary reason, but working with a top local realtor who has the network and knowledge to seek out these possible opportunities is certainly key for the buyer.
