 Today we want to say thank you to Facebook. Why, you ask? Well, Facebook has just committed to spending millions of dollars on schools in the bay area. This is great news for us. If you want to follow the housing market, follow school scores. The better the school scores, the better the prices. People will spend more on a home in a great school district so they can ensure their kids have a great future and education. What winds up happening is when you start seeing dollars deployed in certain markets, it ultimately will wind up helping the school scores and translate to better real estate prices in the area.

Take note of where that money is going, and understand that it will serve as a precursor to where the real estate market will go as well. There are some great things on the horizon for schools in the area, and that will translate into better prices in real estate. If you live in those neighborhoods, you can get a good offer and prices won't be as competitive and you will be able to find a nice place on the peninsula for your new home.

If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call. We would love to answer them.

Explaining Our Real Estate "Team"
I have been hearing a lot lately about real estate 'teams'. A lot of franchises will use it as part of their branding, but as far as the way they run their businesses, I'm not sure that it's an accurate term to describe the way they function. These realtors may meet with you in person during your first appointment, but they will likely hand you off to someone else after your initial meeting.

Here at Lehr Real Estate, our concept of team is pretty simple. As an agent, I am always your point of contact, and I am always in communication with my team. I'm going to briefly explain how we function for your success:

• Listing Coordinator: This person makes sure all the correct documentation and photographs are prepared correctly to put the home on the market for a listing. All the variables in putting a home on the market are handled by this person.

• Escrow Coordinator: When a property goes into Escrow, this person makes sure that all the paperwork is in order and all the documents are handled on time. They essentially make a calendar for the buyer to let them know what is taking place during this Escrow period.

• Project Coordinator: When we have a home going on the market, this person makes sure that the contractors are showing up on time, the repairs are getting done, and that the home is garnering multiple offers from consumers so that you can get top dollar on your property.

My job as the realtor is to be out in the field marketing your home for you. I'm also looking to negotiate in your favor, so you can get a home at the lowest price possible. I am the liaison between you and the people working hard to sell your home, not the person you rarely see or hear from.
 
Something we have that most teams do not is a Grassroots Marketing Team. This is a group of three people that are literally walking around, knocking on doors, and trying to find buyers or sellers. They are responsible for generating buzz around all of our listings, whether they're being bought or sold.

Here at Lehr real estate in San Carlos, we utilize the tools that we have to serve our clients best, and those tools just happen to work best when in unison. We would be happy to help you with any and all of your real estate needs, so feel free to give me a call at (650) 766-5300 or shoot me an email at alex@lehrrealestate.com
