Susan has been an absolute blessing to Allan & I. She was there every step of the way, and went above and beyond the duty of a real estate professional. She is number 1 in my book! She truly is the best in the business.

I highly recommend her in the sale of one’s home.

I give her a diamond over 5 stars. ~ Alison R.

We had the pleasure of working with Susan Redgrave on the sale of our home in Brentwood. The experience, which can be stressful, was overwhelmingly positive, thanks entirely to Susan. She put together an effective plan that took us from preparing the house through to closing, and each step along the way was clearly laid out and explained fully. Any questions that we had along the way were answered quickly, & accurately, and always with patience, and a positive attitude.

Susan did an excellent job of communicating progress, timing, next steps, and etc., during the entire process. She took on the burden of coordinating painters, landscapers, carpet cleaners, house cleaners and stagers, who transformed the home into an attractive and desired property.

She hosted a brokers tour and held open houses, which generated additional interest in the home. We ended up with multiple offers, all over the asking price. This allowed us to select the one that we thought was the best fit for the neighborhood.

She even helped us on the purchase of our new place, by offering insight and advice on properties that we were looking at.

I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is thinking of selling, or buying, in the Brentwood area. Besides being fun, and easy to work with, she is the epitome of professionalism, is extremely hard-working, and an excellent communicator. it was the easiest real estate transaction that I've been a part of. ~Allan R.

My sister and I had to sell our mother's house as she recently passed. We chose Susan Redgrave at Dudum Realty based upon a recommendation from a friend of mine. We could not have been in better more capable hands. Susan handled everything. She was very prompt, excellent communication and she acted professionally at all times. She let us make our own decisions but chimed in and offered advice and direction when we needed it. In the past I have worked with other real estate agents and normally they take a look around, create a list of things that need to be done to make the house attractive and place all that responsibility squarely in the laps of the seller. Susan was not like that. She found things that needed to be addressed and she took the lead and fixed them. She had many contacts that would come over and fix things immediately. My sister and I live 45 min to an hour away from Brentwood and we found Susan's help invaluable. Bottom line we got multiple offers and sold the house above asking price due to the abilities that Susan and Dudum Realty offers. I would highly highly recommend Dudum and Susan. In fact I have already done so with my children's mother who is moving out of Brentwood soon. If you are looking to sell or buy in the Brentwood and surrounding areas, you cannot go wrong in choosing Dudum Realty and Susan Redgrave. She is fantastic. ~Scott H.

Realtors vs Veterans

Alamo!

Wonderful Family-Friendly Community with Great Schools and Weather.

I recently encountered a young man while we were both volunteering to help at an event to support the homeless.

He was probably in his early 20's and of impressive size and stature. Near the end of the day's work I sought him out to thank him for volunteering and to learn more about him.

He told me he was a Veteran of Iraq-Afghanistan and had heard about the event from other Vets. I had noticed that he never removed his cap or glasses. He explained he was concealing injuries encountered in the war. Removal of his sun glasses revealed a missing eye and very damaged area around the eye. Removal of the cap revealed many divots and bumps and odd patches of hair and scars. Just the sort of thing that would make little children run for mommy.

Nam Veteran in a home purchase. We wrote the offer with 50% down payment, and conventional financing. We also reserved the option to use VA financing at no cost to the seller.

The Realtor advised the seller to counter out the VA option.

My client was denied his EARNED benefit.

He now pays about .33% extra in interest as a result. About enough $$ to buy a very very nice dinner every month. The Veteran ask me near close why the Realtor countered out the VA option despite the no cost language. I explained that they thought they might have some extra paperwork or perform other VA obligations. He explained to me that he was called upon to OAK put forthLANE some extra effort.

With Spring quickly approaching, it’s the perfect time to get your house ready for gatherings with friends and family.

Making your house look its best starts from the ground up, and if your floors, carpets or furniture are dirty or damaged, you don’t have to panic. Capital Carpets Cleaning & Repairs has been tending to the carpet- and upholstery-cleaning needs of East County for 15 years.

The business is certified in six different areas, including carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, petstain and odor restoration, carpet repairs and water-damage restoration. In addition, all services are satisfaction guaranteed. advertisement “We confidently offer a guarantee to you, even before you use our services,” said owner Travis Moorer. “You will get the most thorough cleaning ever seen, or it’s free.”

According to Moorer, a typical carpet-cleaning company will only spray a pre-conditioner, then attempt to remove dirt, making for mediocre results.

“We have an award-winning, six-step cleaning process for carpet and upholstery, which provides certified and spectacular results,” said Moorer.

Capital Carpets uses some of the latest carpet-cleaning equipment available, including the brush pro, which provides mechanical agitation to carpets, lifting the carpet pile and pulling dirt deep down from the primary backing of the fibers. They also have a special machine for oriental and area rugs as well as the Mytee dry tool for upholstery cleaning.

“These tools allow us to give you a better quality cleaning, while cleaning your home faster and with less manual effort,” said Moorer. “Our tools do most of the work for us.”

The carpet-cleaning experts can also offer solutions for damaged carpets. Many of their carpet repairs involve stretching or removing wrinkles, ripples and bubbles from carpet. They can also perform transition repairs, where the carpet meets tile or other type of flooring.

If your carpet has a burn or bleach stain in the middle of the room, they can take carpet from a closet and do a bonded insert. advertisement “We have a tool called the patch master, which allows us to cut a perfect circle in the carpet every time to do our patches,” said Moorer.

Capital Carpet’s work has not only resulted in happy customers, but also in awards, including the best carpet cleaner in Antioch and Brentwood.

“We have had them clean our carpets, tile and upholstery several times, and each time we are amazed and impressed,” said Discovery Bay resident Michele Lane. “He does an excellent job every time and has also repaired our carpeting when we thought, we would have to replace it. It looked as good as it had ever looked when he was finished.”

How is Your Credit?

By Patrick McCarran ~ Real Estate Broker

In todays world now more than ever a good credit score can make a real difference in your future and directly effect your wallet. Although no one except the credit reporting agency’s know exactly how the algorithm works I am listing ten general tips that are commonly acknowledged to help increase your credit score 1. Always pay on time This sounds like a no brainer but it isn’t. No lender likes to lend money to an individual who has a track record of missing their payments.

This indicates a lack of discipline and poor financial management, and it translates to a lower score. On-time payments improve your credit score tremendously. It carries almost a 40 percent weight on your score. If you find it hard to keep track or forget to mail the payments try and epay option at your bank. Set up the minimum payment to go out preferably just before the due date and choose the recurring option so it pays every month. Just remember to check your statements in case the minimum payment changes. Because you are setting this up at your bank you can change it or cancel anytime with the click of a mouse.

2. Keep your credit owed within limits Keep your credit card balances within 40% of the allowed limit. If you have $5,000 as your limit, then keep your balance amount to $2,000.

This applies even if you pay it off each month. The total balance at any time must stay under 40% to show that you are not pushing your limits, it is like the old saying they only give you money if you don’t need it. Also it is good practice not to have your total unsecured credit balance over 50 percent of your annual salary.

3. Use two credit cards if you are a definite credit card spender This is good and bad advice at the same time. FICO does not consider spending money on two credit cards as one. But if you have two credit cards, you can keep your usage percentage in control.

For example, if you have a credit card with a limit of $2,000, and you charge $1,500 on it, you’ve used 75 percent of your credit limit.

Now if you split your amount into two, and spend $750 each, then the percentage of usage will be around 37 percent. So it helps you in the eyes of FICO. Now, don’t go on a credit card shopping spree.

4. Maintain a good mix of good and bad loans — AKA, a healthy credit mix Home loans and business loans are considered good loans. Personal loans and private label credit cards are considered bad loans. This is why investing in a home loan if you are a spendthrift is a better decision. You will have a good credit mix and be building an asset.

5. Pay high-interest loans and small loans first It is a prudent decision to pay your home loans over longer periods. Pay off your personal loans, credit cards and private loans first, as they tend to have a higher interest (typically 15 percent to 36 percent) with no asset creation. Home loans, on the other hand, are just 4 percent to 5 percent, but they build an asset. This is one of the underutilized logical tips to improve credit score. Pick a loan and set a goal and then focus on paying that one off ( but don’t buy something to celebrate).

6. Close your unwanted savings accounts Many people tend to abandon their savings accounts without closing them. If you have less than your Minimum Average Balance (MAB), it will start to affect your credit score. Also, when you finish a loan, it’s imperative to get the loan closure certificate.

7. Check your credit reports regularly Credit reports can be accessed for free. You can obtain them from the official FICO site. Just go online and check your credit score at least once in a year, so that you can seek clarification on any mistake and have it sorted. There have been cases when banks report you to FICO by mistake. Keep in mind that free reports are a consumer product and the credit score will vary depending on the type of credit you are applying for.

8. Monitor your co-signed joint accounts properly In instances of co-signing a loan or maintaining a joint credit account, be careful when dealing with someone outside your close family. You need to monitor the statements closely to make sure everything is in order. There is no use complaining if you chose the wrong joint holder who was careless.

9. Negotiate if you cannot pay on time This is also one of best tips to improve credit score. People often know that they would not be able to pay their bills in advance. Regardless, they do not take any action.

If you know you will not be able to pay on time, negotiate with your bank. Banks will be willing to extend your loan period and reduce the EMI if they see a genuine customer.

It might hurt, but you will make a good impression, and the FICO will see you are proactive.

So these are some of the tips to keep your credit score in check and get a home loan easily. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or for more information.

PAT I E N C E I S A V I RT U E I enjoy quoting the adages as they remind me of the way I should think in many situations.

However, this one probably is not the one that you should use when thinking about buying or selling real estate. A more appropriate adage would be, ‘He who hesitates is lost’. There are several reasons that this is true when dealing in real estate issues, which in many cases reminds us that we cannot predict the future with any certainty at all. There are corollary adages as well, but they relate to hesitation.

PERFECT IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD When looking for your forever home, one tends to look for perfection. Finding that perfection is difficult if not impossible to find. Normally it is easy to find an acceptable property, but it is just as easy to find in that place something that you do not like; often that thing is reparable. In the end, you may find yourself ‘settling’ for something that falls short, often far short, of what you have seen in the past and have already been sold to someone else. Perfection is rare, take a look at homes that can achieve your perfection over time. And remember: IF YOU LIKE IT, OTHERS WILL AS WELL While this is not always true, it seems that the ‘best’ homes are the ones that meet more people’s tastes and sell quickly. When you find one that meets your needs and most of your wants, it is likely not to be available for long. Again, since you like it, others may as well.

CHAMPAGNE TASTES ON A BEER BUDGET Insist upon looking for homes that you can afford. It is tempting to look at homes in areas where the price levels are out of your income range but the same homes in a different area can meet your budget. If you require a specific area, you may be forced to give up some of the more desirable features (which would be very nice for your lifestyle) but accept them with a foresight in the fact that you may be able to add to the home in the future to get exactly what you want. There are several approaches to do this. Consult your Realtor (us, hopefully) to work out a plan when considering purchase of a home and what you will want to do with it once it is yours.

And finally, HE WHO HESITATES IS LOST This adage is attributed to Joseph Addison who wrote is 1713 "Swift and resolute action leads to success; self-doubt is a prelude to disaster. The proverb goes back to the story, ‘Cato’.

In truth, in no other aspect of your life is this truer than in real estate. Rapid decision making often brings you to success in real estate. To do it, though, requires planning up front prior to being active in the purchase or sale of your home. For Buyers, getting prequalified, working with an experienced Realtor to help determine where to wish to live, working on a new budget to accommodate your living costs and many other considerations need to be factored prior to making an offer on a home. For Sellers, getting the property ready for sale, knowing your time frames and contingencies and other impacts on your daily living are thing your Realtor (again, hopefully us!) can help you with.
