Sellers or buyers can choose which service tier they might need, or even choose flexible service tier options if not clear. "Pay for what you get" or "get higher refund if you use less" Sellers and buyers can choose not only on the basis of a lower commission but also on basis of experience level and quality of agent. Avoid "get what you pay for". Get lower commissions by driving commission levels to "market" through bidding and yet not lower real estate agent pay-rates by avoiding wasted efforts. Agents don't have to pay upfront for leads before getting business. Get ready and willing buyers and sellers who know and define what they want. ...read more

Are you a local in San Jose that is currently renting a home because you don't think you can afford to buy? Many people think renting is their only option. If you haven't heard of "renting to own" a home or "lease option," you're not alone. So What Is A “Rent To Own” Home? This is when the owner of the house allows you to rent the home, with an option at the end of the rental term to purchase the house at a price you and the owner agree upon ahead of time. You are not obligated to buy the home at the end, however, the seller is obligated to sell you the property at that pre-determined price if you choose to purchase it at the end of the rental term. How Does A Rent To Own Program Actually Help You Buy? There are a few big benefits to rent to own home programs like ours that can help many San Jose area residents to become home owners. Usually, there’s something causing people to choose renting over buying. Read on to find out reasons people usually rent over owning on our original blog post here and find out if renting to own is right for you! http://www.revestorsllc.com/blog/san-jose-houses-for-rent/ ...read more

One of the most common set of questions asked by potential home buyers, in particular first time home buyers, revolve around shared fences. Typical questions include: How should we go about changing the fences? Who pays for it? What if my neighbor refuses to change it or pay for the repairs? The current legislation on this topic, updated in January 2014, provides many helpful answers that everyone should keep in mind. The basic principle to remember is that "adjoining landowners with properties contiguous or in contact with each another are presumed to share an equal benefit from any fence dividing their properties, as well as equal costs for its construction or maintenance". The law states that homeowners must "share equally the responsibility for the reasonable costs of construction, maintenance, or necessary replacement of the fence or boundaries unless otherwise agreed in writing". If you are initiating a request for any type of repairs on a shared fence, here is what you should know: You must give each affected "adjoining landowner" a 30-day prior written notice which should include: A reminder that "adjoining landowners are presumed to share an equal benefit as well as equal costs for its construction or maintenance […]" as stated above A proposal which should outline the solution to address the problem An estimate of the costs to be expected and how they will be split among all landowners A timeline with the expected completion date of all the repairs If you are receiving a request from a neighbor for any type of repairs on a shared fence, here are your rights and duties: You can overcome the presumption that you should pay a portion of the expenses by demonstrating that imposing equal responsibility would be "unjust", which is defined in particular by the Court as follows: the financial burden is substantially disproportionate to the benefit conferred by the repair of the fence the cost of the fence would exceed the difference in the value of the property before and after its installation the financial burden would impose an financial hardship which should be demonstrated by "reasonable proof" In the end, the law merely states the obvious and provides a good template for an open and friendly discussion around a memorable backyard grilling party with your neighbors on any Summer day! - See more at: http://www.sophiadelacotte.com/blog/5884/how-to-deal-with-shared-fences-and-boundaries-problems#sthash.SXnrwEYx.dpuf ...read more
