Luxury Real Estate – Mailbu Dreams

Posted on 12 March 2010 by The Don

malibu luxury real estate

A friend recently saw this home and asked me if it is really possible to own it. ” Once you find $50 Million to spare, then the dream will come true” was my reply but all jokes aside, it isn’t everyday that someone finds the opportunity to buy a $50 million dollar home. For those of us that are with power to make such a decision is a home that is visually stunning in the heart of Malibu but make sure to ask for a tour or you might get lost as its far from small.

The Universe House

Posted on 14 December 2009 by The Don

mansion roof pool

Out of all the luxury real estate we have reviewed, I think this might the one and only that actually does not fall into the luxury segment.  There is a luxury element to the actual home, but not much of it we will see as this home is not for sale and therefore its doors are closed to us, but there is more to this home than meets the eye and it is as though it belongs in a movie from the future. The home is one of the most unique ever created, and portrays a peaceful paradise like none ever seen before.

How To Modify Your Home Loan?

Posted on 28 April 2009 by The Don

The real estate market got us in this mess to begin with, some were taken advantage of and some knew exactly what they were getting into but the reality remains that in order for all of us to win and help the country recover, we must find a way to keep people in their homes.

Can Money Really Buy Happiness?

Posted on 21 April 2009 by The Don

What about Love? It is the topic of many office conversations and will get you many answers based on people’s belief and the level of confidence/ trust they have in people and the world in general. Many that have never been through hardship or have never really felt the sword that life can cut you with from time to time will tell you that money is simply an illusion and not in any way necessary to facilitate love or happiness. Others will say the opposite, Money is what makes the world go around and that without it, you have no shot at happiness or love. So which is right?

Well, allow me to open your mind to my point of view.

Short Sales aka Real Estate Owned (REO)

Posted on 15 April 2009 by The Don

short sale

Short sales, also known as REO (Real Estate Owned) properties are flooding the markets in all states and are a popular choice among investors and first time buyers. Whats the catch?

Lets first define what a short sale is. It is when a bank decides to sell a property below the mortgage owned on it and accepts to take a loss in order to save itself from dealing with a foreclosure.

Based on the price, they seem attractive and seem like the way to go especially since they have been flooding the market with as much as 48% of the listings in some states being strictly short sales. The catch however lays in the timing and execution of the deal, and in some cases in the condition of the homes. There is a red tape feel to the whole package.
