Estate
RSM
The City of
Rancho Santa Margarita is nestled in the foothills of the
Santa Ana Mountains. RSM has a low crime rate and high
school rankings. This is a young community that is very
family/kid friendly. As one of the finest master-planned
communities in California, Rancho Santa Margarita,
California offers something for everyone. Community
parks, shopping, and city amenities are all within
easy walking distance. Rancho Santa Margarita CA was
planned to be an "Urban Village," offering the
best of two worlds: all of the elements and advantages of
a small city plus the quality of life of a small village. In 2005, CNN/Money.com
named Rancho Santa Margarita as one of the best places to live. More than 50% of
Rancho Santa Margarita is planned as open space and
recreational facilities including the picturesque lake and
beach club with a swim lagoon, miles of pedestrian and
bicycle paths and the popular Tijeras Creek Golf Club. The
city also offers several schools, including Santa
Margarita Catholic High School, day care centers, a long
list of places of worship and a neighborhood shopping
center.

Would
you like to know the value of your Rancho Santa Margarita
or Las Flores home?
In
today's real estate market, you may be interested in
knowing the market value of your home. Are you thinking of
selling you home or are you considering a short sale? You
will definitely want to know what your Rancho Santa
Margarita or Las Flores home is worth. I will be happy to
prepare a CMA
(Comparative Market Analysis) for you that will provide
you with an estimate of your home's value in today's
market by comparing recent sales and active listings in
your area.
If
you are considering the sale of your home, you
should know that quality inventory is low, and many
sellers are receiving multiple offers on their home. This
is especially the case in the $400,000 to $800,000
price categories. If you are in a possible distress
situation (upside down in value or payments you can no
longer afford), a short sale may be an alternative for
you! Call me for a free CMA,
or to discuss how my team can help you sell your home. My
web page on home sales explains it well and it's a great
place to begin: Sell
my home. If you need to do a short sale,
please visit my page here.
This page explains how you may be able to save your credit
and eliminate your mortgage debt through a short sale.
