Laguna Niguel Real Estate Glossary

No matter if you’re buying your first Laguna Niguel home or thinking about selling your 10th property in the area, knowing the lingo of the real estate industry can help you better understand the current market. For instance, do you know what an Acceleration Clause is? What would you do if you saw that your mortgage had one? Chances are you would want to know a lot more, since an acceleration clause on a mortgage means that your lender can require you pay your loan in full immediately, if certain conditions apply.

There are tons of terms like acceleration clause that buyers and sellers in the Laguna Niguel Real Estate market should understand. You can find the meanings of the most important real estate terms by visiting the Real Estate Glossary page on my Laguna Niguel Real Estate Web site.

Laguna Niguel Property Search

As easy as it is to go online these days and search for homes in the Laguna Niguel Real Estate market from the comfort of your favorite chair, it can still be an overwhelming experience for people new to the area or new to the house hunting process. As a Laguna Niguel Realtor, I think it’s important for realtors in the area to work more closely with their new clients to help them better understand their housing options as well as what the community of Laguna Niguel has to offer residents.

One of the ways I do this is by having my clients tell me a little about the type of Laguna Niguel home they want before we begin the search process. Once I have a basic understanding of their needs, style and unique tastes, I’m able to more easily narrow down the homes in the Laguna Niguel market that fit all their wants and needs. This makes the process less overwhelming for new buyers and really helps them to focus on homes ideal for them. If you’re having trouble finding exactly what you’re looking for in a Laguna Niguel home or just need help beginning the search process, feel free to call me anytime at 949-939-0300.

HomeAid Orange County

As a Laguna Niguel Realtor, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds if not thousands of people find the perfect home. It’s a truly rewarding experience! But, as a Laguna Niguel Realtor, I also understand that not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to purchase a home, and some time ago, I decided to also help those people who would otherwise be left out in the cold.

Wanting to assist those people throughout Orange County who were struggling to find shelter of any kind, I began working with HomeAid Orange County to fund vital renovation and construction projects of multi-unit homes used to help people that have found themselves temporarily homeless due to circumstances beyond their control. Working with this organization has truly made me a better person and a better realtor. If you want to know more about HomeAid Orange County or how I am working with the organization by donating a portion of my South Orange County Real Estate sales, check out the HomeAid page on my Laguna Niguel Real Estate Web site. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 949-939-0300.
