Buyers are using a REALTOR® to look for their homes via the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS). We use the local Southern California Association of REALTORS® MRMLS and will list your home there and in other local MLS systems if desired. This MLS system is used by REALTORS® across Southern California to search for homes for their clients. We know that having a picture on the listing is very important and will try and get as many photographs as possible to give Buyer's Agents as much information and visual presentation as possible. We will also place a secure Lockbox that only certified REALTORS® have access to and will make sure that no one enters your home unless they have authorized access.

Lighthouse Short Sale approaches each situation individually and works with lawyers and tax advisors on your behalf to achieve the best outcome - at no cost to you. We handle all the complex details and you remain in control. You approve the terms of the agreement and approve the final settlement. If a short sale is no longer in your best interest, you can cancel it at no cost. www.lighthouseshortsale.com/services.html

According to the National Association of Realtors, 74% of home buyers say they used the Internet in searching for real estate. BuySomeProperty.com has over 1000 page hits per day which means that Buyers are looking to the Internet first before they contact an agent. This is one reason that Linda Torres has a built in referral and contact mechanism in her website ( www.buysomeproperty.com)

Because so many home buyers are using the Internet in searching for real estate, it is very important to belong to The National Association of Realtors (NAR). Since Realtor.com is now the official Website for the National Association of Realtors and Linda is a long standing member of NAR. every listing that goes up on our local MRMLS systems automatically gets your home listed on Realtor.com.

Advertising is very important in a marketing strategy because if no one knows that your house is for sale no one can locate it. At Lighthouse Properties we pride ourselves in getting every listing in our local magazines (Homes and Land) and every week your listing will appear in The Press Enterprise ( Southern Riverside County ) Newspaper. Occassionally your listing will appear in the LA Times or The Press Enterprise depending on location.

In the Inland Empire area, Lighthouse Properties® sells many homes every quarter. This kind of market dominance, combined with The BuySomeProperty.com high ranking the Inland Empire’s® Top 100, gives you the confidence that your home will sell quickly at the right price. Even more places your home is advertised... See http://www.golhp.com .

Placing a sign in front of your home with contact information is very important. This is a form of advertising your home and letting everyone who passes by your home know that it is "FOR SALE". We will also have Linda's direct number posted on the FOR SALE sign so anyone interested can call and she will answer every call to provide information on your home. Color Brochures are placed on the "FOR SALE" post so everyone will get general information on the home and again contact information.

Linda decided that her business attitude was going to be Personal Service when she started in Real Estate. That was her commitment to her clients and continues to be the sole source for all referral business. Her Cell Phone is her Business Phone and no matter what time of day or night, you will always get her to answer. If you leave a message you are guaranteed a return call within the hour.
