One of the newest features added to our MLS is being able to view coming soon listings. These properties are technically not active on the market and are in the pre-marketing stage of being put on the market. The coming soon feature was added so agents can get there home available to other real estate agents and potential clients while they are getting their professional photos and other marketing materials together. The advantage of doing it this way for agents is that the days on the market will not start counting until it's officially switches to active. If you have been familiar with real estate for awhile these were commonly known as pocket listings where real estate agents would only share these potential properties to clients they are currently

Laguna Beach 3D Virtual Home Tours
1,767 Views, 0 CommentsOne of the hottest trends right now are 3D virtual home tours. Since most showings are very limited agents in Laguna Beach are now making sure they every listing they have on the market comes with a virtual tour. We checked all of the recent listings in Laguna Beach that have come on the market in the last week and every single one had a virtual tour. The most popular virtual tour company by far is by Matterport which shows a 3D image of the property as if you were looking above the house and allows the consumer to walk through every single room as if they were at the house. This makes a lot of sense since we have been getting a lot of calls lately of potential buyers asking for the virtual tour links of any given property.

…Best Time To Buy A Home In Laguna Beach
1,113 Views, 0 CommentsBuying a home in Laguna Beach can be tricky when deciding on which neighborhood to live and the best time to buy. There are pros and cons to buying at different times of the year in Laguna Beach and often depends on how the current real estate market is doing.

In a seller's market properties are selling very fast and the owners are in control on who they sell it and the price they think the market will bear.

…Laguna Beach Expired Listings
763 Views, 0 CommentsWhen Real Estate agents take a listing it is usually for a 6 or 12 month period. Of course, this can be any length of time that the owner wants as we have seen it as short as one month when the owner really wants to get it sold right away. After this set amount of time when the property does not sell it goes off the market and is considered an "expired listing." Be prepared when this happens as dozens of real estate agents who's sole job is to call on expired listings will start calling you non-stop the morning after the home expires.
These agents make a living trying to convince owners why their home didn't sell and to use them the next time around. What most seller's don't realize is that these types of agents have very good phone skills but
