Relying on an agent to represent you in a real estate transaction is all about trust. The profession sometimes draws “salespeople” that are more interested in their wallets than your needs. There isn’t anyone I would trust more than Will to be my advocate buying real estate, both from a technical perspective in understanding the angles of the “deal” and more importantly, knowing that integrity and helping people are more important to Will than what’s in his wallet.Wade Griffis

Will was a real treat to work with…professional, experienced and he sold our home the first weekend it was on the market. We had a difficult buyer and if it wasn’t for Will “talking me off the ledge” a number of times, I’m sure I would have blown the sale. He’s calm and cool under pressure and made selling our home easy. Thanks Will.Christie Walker

Will has the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. He is intelligent, honest and capable, and he has my strongest personal recommendation.Kenneth M. Klein

I decided to sell my house in Big Bear, so I contacted a few realtors. After looking at Will’s marketing plan to sell my house and his realistic evaluation of the market value of my house, I decided to list my house with Will’s team. Other realtors gave me decent evaluations, but no one had such a strong marketing plan as Will’s team. Within a week after it hit the multiples, I received a strong offer. After brief counter offers the property was put into escrow. …James Evans

Roof Replacement & Repair

Mountain lake properties come in a variety of shapes and sizes but more importantly, they come with different types of roofing. Due to temperature extremes and intensity of the sun, it is important to pay attention to mountain roofing. And if you have a wood roof– the deadline for replacement is fast approaching.

On July 1, 2012, any homeowners in Big Bear Lake will have to remove any wood shake or wood shingle roofs from their Big Bear properties and houses to comply with the city ordinance 2007-373. However, they are not alone!

Mountain lake property owners who live outside of Big Bear Lake will need to take action since fire safety regulations require homeowners to replace their shake or shingle roofs as well. The good news is that grant funds exist to help get this done for the safety of everyone in the mountain area.

Wood roofs are an obvious challenge but it is also important to also point out that the roofs of Big Bear properties and houses should be of special interest to home buyers for a few reasons. A roof in bad condition can be an indication of poor maintenance or lack of care for the property in general. It can also indicate other issues such as structural damage, water damage and complications such as mold or mildew.

Mountain living has different risks than those faced in most urban environments. Dwelling in a forested area poses a variety of challenges due to natural hazards such as inclement weather and fire dangers. Not too long ago, after raging forest fires destroyed surrounding areas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) awarded the Big Bear Lake Fire Protection District with a grant to help create a safer community.

Fire dangers peaked due to draught conditions were further complicated by the bark beetle infestation of the local forest. This resulted in dying and dead trees which posed additional dangers. Efforts to create a better defensible space between the forest and the residential areas were prioritized, trees were removed and educational efforts targeting the community along with a variety of help in creating safer neighborhoods began and continue today.

So, if you are a new or existing homeowner, this is a good time to remind you that it should be a priority to create and maintain defensible space around your home and the surrounding property. Doing so will help you protect not only your property and neighborhood but may also earn you approval for cost share reimbursement.

If your wood roofing needs replacement and you are interested in learning if any funding or other assistance is available to you, call (909) 866-4668.
