Adam Brett & Eric Urban's Q&A

You will want to 'claim' your home as well as call Zillow customer service.  The number to call is  877-815-3918You can claim your home by logging into your account and underneath the picture of your home there should be an 'edit' button.  You can send an email to zillow or claim the home.Hope this helps.Adam

I want to add something like the "My Listings App" in my emails going out to clients. Is this possible? Suggestions?

You will want to make sure that you choose an agressive Realtor in today's market that is very active and can dedicate time to you as a buyer. My team represents the most buyers in Fullerton and I can provide you a dedicated sales individual who only works with buyers and specializes in knowing inventory in Orange County. Please give us a ring as I know you will enjoy the service..

Zillow does not directly port your listings unless your brokerage subscribes.  You will need to either manually enter your listing or use a syndication site such as vflyer or postlets.

William,You may need to 'claim' the listing - or re-input it.  I would encourage you to use a service like vflyer to syndicate the listing - as it will pull all your photos and information.-Adam

Vince nailed it.  Bigger homes equate to lower sqft prices.  Smaller homes have much higher sqft values.Zillow gives a pretty big range for properties - but bases these values on average sq ft values.  A smaller home would be at the lower end of the range - while a bigger home would be at the upper end.  This does not take into consideration any upgrades, views, or other amenities that would increase the price.

Cindi said it best.  When looking for Senior Communities - you will want to link up with an agent who is very knowledgeable about these homes.  In any given city there will be a few different types of senior housing. Those which are resale properties and not run by a corporation.  In Fullerton look on Ford Ave and Brea Blvd.There are properties which are semi-assisted and you purchase a unit - but these do not cooperate with brokers.There are properties which are fully assisted - like Morningside - and have condos to villas - but you will need to visit them in person and talk to their in-house sales staff to get more information.I know a lot about this housing as I am trying to get my grandmother to move closer to me.Best of luck in your search.

This does exist - but rarely done.  In an unstable market - when prices are deflated - there is not much motivation on the seller's part to lock in a price - when most likely over the course of a few years prices will appreciate.There are websites dedicated to these types of listings - but I would stay away from them as they have a great possibility for litigation if the market swings one way or another.

I have heard of everything - but in this case it is a partial report - or a "Limited Report" in termite lingo.  A "Complete Report" would include all attached structures to the home - and if selected - any detached decks, garages, fences, or wooden structures.  For a lender to be satisfied with a Section 1 Clearance - you would need all floors inspected and cleared.

If you are looking to contact the owner you can always knock on their door.  Phone numbers can sometimes be obtained by a reverse lookup on whitepages.com.You can also write a letter to the seller.I can get you the seller's contact information if you would like - but I would not post it for the world to see.
