Nov. 28, 2007 - Tni LeBlanc of Mint Properties, Local REALTOR e-PRO® Agent Utilizing Technology To Provide Consumers With State-of-the-Art Services
November 28, 2007 -As more and more consumers begin their search for real estate-related information on the Internet, it is critical that real estate professionals are well educated in the use of technology to the benefit of both the consumer and the agent and/or broker.
Realizing the importance of technology training, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) now offers its members the e-PRO certification course -- the only technology certification program offered by NAR. The program is designed to prepare real estate professionals to make the most of Internet technology and to identify, evaluate, and implement new Internet business models. The elite group of course graduates represents only one percent of all REALTORS in the country including Tni LeBlancof Mint Properties.
"The real estate industry has undergone a fundamental change over the past five years," Tni LeBlanc said. "Today, more than 70% of all buyers and sellers begin their search online. As an e-PRO certified agent, I have knowledge and tools needed to provide my clients with the information they need and the customer service they demand. It's both hi-tech and hi-touch."
The REALTOR e-PROÒ certification course is an educational program unlike any other professional certification or designation course available, comprehensive and interactive. It is specifically designed to provide real estate professionals with the technology tools needed to assist consumers in the purchase or sale of a home.
The exclusive REALTOR e-PROÒ certification course is presented entirely online and certifies real estate agents and brokers as Internet professionals. The course is designed to help REALTORSÒ stay at the leading edge of technology and identify, evaluate and implement new Internet business models.
Once completed, the e-PRO certified real estate professional joins the ranks of a special community of highly skilled and continuously trained professionals who provide high quality and innovative online-based real estate services. Consumers can identify the e-PRO through the exclusive e-PRO Internet Professional logo.
Both the content and the delivery platform were created by San Diego-based technology company InternetCrusade®. Graduates use the skills they've acquired to provide clients information on properties for sale, local communities, and the local real estate market.

Nov. 27, 2007 - Free Grover Beach Property Search & Market Update
Bookmark and search for Grover Beach Listings on my website.
Market update for Grover Beach California - The news does not look that great for sellers in Grover Beach. In the past 30 days, I have only one reported residential sale in the MLS. That was this 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1248 square foot home on a 5,000 square foot lot which sold for $530,000 on October 31, 2007. What does this means for buyers? Well it is a great time to be a buyer in Grover Beach -- you have plenty of sellers willing to work with you.
In Grover Beach news, the Times Press Recorder reports that the Grover Beach City Council has agreed to repair portions of North 12th street from Atlantic to El Camino Real. This area has generated many citizen complaints. A report issued by city engineer, Jim Garing, indicates that the steep angle of the street causes faster pavement deterioration than other surface streets. Repaving will help with further deterioration.

Nov. 26, 2007 - Nipomo Delays Water Decision Making Due to Blacklake Residents' Concerns
According to the Adobe Press, Blacklake residents turned out in great numbers to the Nipomo Community Services District ("NCSD") meeting in response to a proposed plan which would require an equitable contribution of $1672 from each Blacklake homeowner in order to merge the water systems. Blacklake residents argue that the equitable contribution should not be required of them because the systems were combined, in effect, when NCSD annexed Blacklake in 1993.
In short, NCSD wants to combine the Blacklake Division and Town Division water funds. Blacklake's fund comprises 58 percent of the 2.5 million currently managed by the Service District. Instead of moving forward on the initiative, NCSD voted 3-2 to further study the capacity of the existing Blacklake system, as well as the financial impact of a merged system versus a stand alone Blacklake system.

Nov. 25, 2007 - Santa Maria Homeowners Receive Flood Insurance Reprieve
As reported by the Santa Maria Times, FEMA has decided that the new maps which are expected to place most of Santa Maria in a flood plain, will not be issued until September 2008 at the earliest. These maps had been expected this fall.
This provides a small reprieve to Santa Maria property owners, who would be required to purchase flood insurance, if they hold a federally insured mortgage. Homeowners who purchase flood insurance before the maps become effective may be able to receive a discount on the cost of insurance. Of course, city and county officials are still trying to work with the Army Core of Engineers to get the levee fixed which would remove the concern altogether.
