  • Drug related killings?? Apparently ANYWHERE is worse than Los Cabos!

    Okay, for all of you naive folks back home watching Fox News (or "Fox Noise" as one of my clients put it today)... here is a lesson in what's ACTUALLY going on down here in beautiful Cabo San Lucas (as opposed to the propaganda they are broadcasting back home!).

    According to an article recently published by Christopher Reynolds of the LA Times, drug related killings for ALL of Baja California Sur (yeah, the WHOLE state, not just the Los Cabos area) tallied up to a whopping 6 for the whole first 1/2 of 2010. Break down those numbers and you'll find that this works out to 1.06 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. Hmmm... still thinking 1/100,000 is a lot? Well let's see how that compares to the homicide rates of the world's "SAFEST" countries shall we?

    Canada = 1.7 per 100,000
    Peru = 3.2 per 100,000
    Argentina = 5.2 per 100,000
    USA = 5.2 per 100,000
    Uruguay = 5.8 per 100,000
    Chile = 8.1 per 100,000
    Rest of the world = ? (here's a hint... it just gets worse!!)

    Just a little food for thought people, as the truth can be an astonishing thing sometimes. Perhaps the next time you tell someone you're coming to Cabo and they incredulously ask you "Why risk your life in Mexico?", you can educate them with the REAL facts about what is going on down here. Oh, and smack them in the back of the head for me will ya? For those of you who may now thinking about the possibilities down here in Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo, visit us @ www.investloscabos.com or www.cabohomes4rent.com. Give paradise a chance.

  • Forbes.com gives us "5 Reasons You Still Need a Real Estate Agent"

    Recently posted on the "Real Estate Advisor" section of Forbes.com, Tara Struyk brings up some very compelling reasons to use a trustworthy real estate professional.


    " Buying or selling a home is a major financial (and emotional) undertaking. Find out why you shouldn't discard the notion of hiring an agent just yet."

    1. Better Access/More Convenience


    A real estate agent's full-time job is to act as a liaison between buyers and sellers. Both the buyer's and seller's agent work full time as real estate agents and they know what needs to be done to get a deal together. For example, if you are looking to buy a home, a real estate agent will track down homes that meet your criteria, get in touch with sellers' agents and make appointments for you to view the homes. If you are buying on your own, you will have to play this telephone tag yourself. This may be especially difficult if you're shopping for homes that are for sale by owner.

    2. Negotiating Is Tricky Business

    Many people don't like the idea of doing a real estate deal through an agent and feel that direct negotiation between buyers and sellers is more transparent and allows the parties to better look after their own best interests. This is probably true--assuming that both the buyer and seller in a given transaction are reasonable people who are able to get along. Unfortunately, this isn't always an easy relationship.

    What if you, as a buyer, like a home but despise its wood-paneled walls, shag carpet and lurid orange kitchen? If you are working with an agent, you can express your contempt for the current owner's decorating skills and rant about how much it'll cost you to upgrade the home without insulting the owner. For all you know, the owner's late mother may have lovingly chosen the decor. Your real estate agent can convey your concerns to the sellers' agent. Acting as a messenger, the agent may be in a better position to negotiate a discount without ruffling the homeowner's feathers.

    A real estate agent can also play the "bad guy"€ in a transaction, preventing the bad blood between a buyer and seller that can kill a deal. An agent can help by speaking for you in tough transactions and smoothing things over to keep them from getting too personal. This can put you in a better position to get the house you want. The same is true for the seller, who can benefit from a hard-nosed real estate agent who will represent their interests without turning off potential buyers who want to niggle about the price.

    3. Contracts Can Be Hard To Handle

    If you decide to buy or sell a home, the offer to purchase contract is there to protect you and ensure that you are able to back out of the deal if certain conditions aren't met. For example, if you plan to buy a home with a mortgage but you fail to make financing one of the conditions of the sale--and you aren't approved for the mortgage--you can lose your deposit on the home and could even be sued by the seller for failing to fulfill your end of the contract.

    4. Real Estate Agents Can't Lie

    If you are working with a licensed real estate agent under an agency agreement, (i.e., a conventional, full-service commission agreement in which the agent agrees to represent you), your agent will be bound by common law (in most states) to a fiduciary relationship. In other words, the agent is bound by license law to act in their clients' best interest (not his or her own). In addition, most realtors rely on referrals and repeat business to build the kind of clientele base they'll need to survive in the business.

    5. Not Everyone Can Save Money

    Many people eschew using a real estate agent to save money, but keep in mind that it is unlikely that both the buyer and seller will reap the benefits of not having to pay commissions. For example, if you are selling your home on your own, you will price it based on the sale prices of other comparable properties in your area. Many of these properties will be sold with the help of an agent. This means that the seller gets the keep the percentage of the home's sale price that might otherwise be paid to the real estate agent.

    However, buyers who are looking to purchase a home sold by owners may also believe they can save some money on the home by not having an agent involved. They might even expect it and make an offer accordingly. However, unless buyer and seller agree to split the savings, they can't both save the commission.

    The Bottom Line

    While there are certainly people who are qualified to sell their own homes, taking a quick look at the long list of frequently asked questions on most “for sale by owner” websites suggests the process isn't as simple as many people assume. And when you get into a difficult situation, it can really pay to have a professional on your side.
