Holiday Tipping Guide from Our Friends for Our Friends...

Santa-tipper I am usually a bigger tipper during the holidays, are you?  In these days of employee cut backs and no or low bonuses, I usually give some of my favorite waiters and waitresses a more than 20% tip.  Heck, they usually need a little extra spending cash too during the holidays. 

I found this nice article from our friends at the MNSBC website this morning as I was reading through some of my favorite websites as I do every morning, reading email, seeing what’s new on the web, making my postings, and I thought, gee some of my readers and clients might enjoy reading this as I did, so today I am sharing this very interesting article just right for our holiday season. 

Hey, why not tip your favorite REALTOR?  Now that would be a trend starter.  Better yet, call her (or him) or email and tell them , “I’m going to buy a home from you this next year!”  Wow, that would make his or her day. It certainly would mine and put a little extra bounce in my step today.

It really is a great time to buy in the desert.  All cash?  What are you waiting for?  There are end-of-the year closeouts that are simply the most incredible deals available EVER at communities like Sun City Shadow Hills, Indio.  One of my clients and I just negotiated the most amazing deal I have ever seen and he is closing this week.  Plus Sun City Shadow Hills has just announced the release of the Third Phase (Click here to see the new models and print out a schedule), and new pricing, with homes under $200,000!   With this pricing, this is going to usher in a whole new group of home buyers that may have considered this community previously and new home buyers that were priced out!  I expect them to be beating the doors down similar to the television ads showing early shoppers beating down the department store doors for a 6:00 am sale, saying “Open, Open, Open!” The new pricing shall be great for this community I am told. 

Taking a loan to buy in the desert?  Interest rates are falling and are considered to go even lower over the next 30 days.  A great website to follow is BankRate.com . At this website, several experts provide their opinions whether rates will go up or down over the next 30 days.  It’s a good way to watch rates and help you lock in your rate when you’re ready. 

Phone1 Looking for a good, best-buy deal in the desert?  Then you’ve come to the right place, and you need not look any further, really.  Simply pick up the phone and call me at 760 771-8468, available 24 hours, and try me on my cell phone at 760 333-7389.  I know where many of the best deals and the greatest values are throughout the desert. Whether you’re looking for a golf course condo under $200,000?, a family estate home at $400,000 to $600,000, country club luxury home at $400,000+?, a Palm Springs mid-century modern fixer property at $300,000 to $500,000, or simply a newer bank-owned/REO property $200,000 to $400,000, you name it, I’ll find it for you. 

Wreath_lights_md_wht Happy Holidays to you and your family, and all the best to you in 2009!  Happy Tipping Too!

Kind Regards,

Carey Ann Parker, Your Desert REALTOR, Citrus Life Today, Desert Homes Today Realty, Direct (24 Hours): 760 771-8468, Cell: 760 333-7389
