Relay for Life in Monrovia Will Be Here Before You know It

June 02 will be here before you know it and once again our team of walking REALTORS at CENTURY 21 Adams & Barnes will take to Recreation Park in Monrovia and kick off the 24 hour relay towards a cure for cancer.

All of our team members had been affected, directly or indirectly, by this terrible disease which continues to take human lives. Great strides have been taken towards finding solutions but there is so much research and hard work to be done.

Relay for Life is our opportunity to help raise funds and it is also our chance to pay tribute to the countless men, women and children who have struggled with the disease.

We encourage you to visit our team's website, supportrelay.com and help our efforts. Also, if you'd like to participate in the day's relay please contact our team captain Lary Kubel for more information at 626-203-6384.

We look forward to this year's events.

Tips for buying and selling homes at the same time

When you are buying a property while selling a property your real estate agent is more important than ever. A qualified and competent agent should be able to give you an accurate estimation of the price your current property may trade for, which is crucial if the sale of the property is contingent on the purchase of another.

Follow the same basic rules when selling your home: get organized by disposing or donating unused items, stage your property, and pack anything you don’t need on a daily basis in preparation for a move. Get a home inspection and make any necessary repairs for your potential buyers and a pre-approval letter to give to sellers of a property you may be interested in. Any proactive and preventative steps you complete will expedite both the home selling and buying process.

When listing your home be realistic with potential offers and ask for a closing date that fits your schedule. Perhaps, if the property you are purchasing is contingent on the sale of your current property, you can ask your buyers for an early closing date. If you have yet to find a property to purchase, you may ask for a later closing date so you won’t have to rent in the interim. No matter what your circumstances are, organization, pre-planning, in-depth knowledge of your finances, coupled with a skilled and experienced real estate professional, are vital aspects to the process.
