Welcome! Don and Leslie have been full time Realtors in Ventura County for over 30 years. It's been fun watching as "little" Victoria Avenue (and many other streets) have morphed into what they are today.
Just as our local communities have evolved, we've seriously considered for the past several years how we could someday "give back" and "finish well" - expressions that can mean a lot of things to different people.
As part of our research into opportunities for service, in early 2013 we contacted a Peace Corps recruiter who helped us start our journey. But our new path wasn't going to be as straight and easy as we thought! And so we began a transition into something completely different from the routines we've known for the past 30 years - and have begun a path that's leading into the exciting unknown. This will be our story!

This morning, as I was glancing over articles in both The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times that the one billion dollar Cash for Clunkers program has been so popular there’s no money left, I thought:
What does this have to do with the Real Estate market?
You know from reading our newsletters and housing statistics reports that inventory is way down and prices are finally strengthening.
This is in large part because just as folks are taking advantage of the Cash for Clunkers program, folks are taking advantage of the first time homeowners $8,000 tax credit in the real estate market. Also about 1/3 of the homes for sale are foreclosures. There’s such demand for these homes that buyers are bidding up the prices and we’re seeing bidding wars!
