Stovall Team is the First Choice
The Stovall Team has logged over 620,000 steps since the start of this year, walking in your neighborhood distributing our “Real Estate Insight”. That is 720 miles in just two months. These miles give us a chance to talk to people about Real Estate. It gives us a great chance to connect with our neighbors, friends and clients. It also keeps our fingers on the pulse of the market activity in your area.
These efforts matter because we work in your neighborhood which is also our neighborhood. This gives us an early chance to know or have an idea of what homes are coming on the market in the near future or months in advance. In the last three years the Stovall Team has sold three Glen Mar homes that never even made it to the market. One of which was listed by another great agent at Star Real Estate. He knew that we effectively and aggressively market the area and knew we already had a buyer. The other two were sellers that we knew that were putting their homes on the market. These sellers gave our clients the first shot at purchasing before going on the open market. The buyers paid fair market value and it resulted in a Win/Win/Win for all.
With over 50 years of combined experience, we are respected in our field and have working relationships with many Realtors. Just within my company of 350+ agents, Star Real Estate has a whopping 40% market share in the Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley Marketplace. We were also recently honored as the #2 Agent/Team
Company wide for our 2013 production. Often times homes are sold before they ever hit the market thanks to “pocket listings”. Being a part of a large and productive Real Estate company and knowing the listing agents and their listing inventory can be a huge asset to you or your family member in the home selling or buying process. We can provide the edge that will make a world of difference for you.
Even homes that make their way to the MLS can be challenging to purchase and buyers may find themselves in a bidding war. Working with the Stovall Team helps in a multitude of ways. Our strong reputation as honest hard working and highly ethical agents translates to cooperative agents trusting us. They know that if we are working with a buyer, the buyer has been pre-approved, educated, and knows exactly what they are getting into. We will also help write the offer in a matter at which makes the most sense and puts us in the best strategic position. If the listing is taken by the Stovall Team or any other Star agent, there is a good chance our buyers will know about it well before it goes on the open market.
Working with The Stovall Team gives you the edge you need in this highly competitive real estate market place. Call Micah at 714.343.9294 or Steve at 714.393.5377 for a complementary market evaluation or pre purchase consultation today.

Curb Appeal is Contagious
Have you seen the recent Lowes ad where a new couple moves into town and places a potted plant in a window box? This leads to the neighbor planting a flower garden, which leads to a painted fence, shutters on a house, and so on. Near the end of the commercial, a voice over comes on and says, “Home improvement is contagious.” How true is that? Spring is just around the corner and many of us looking to spruce up our curb appeal, lawns and flower beds.
Let’s let the awesome improvements occurring in our neighborhoods become contagious. To help visualize real improvements, we are inviting you to send photos of your various improvement projects in 2014 to [email protected]
We will begin showcasing these improvements for others to catch the bug of property improvement.
Check out our amazing listing on 19th Street in Eastside Costa Mesa. Great curb appeal!
We're sorry, but we couldn't find MLS # OC14032695 in our database. This property may be a new listing or possibly taken off the market. Please check back again.

Ask the Experts: The Stovall Team
Q. How does a nearby new development impact prices of existing properties in the same neighborhood?
A. Great question! Our neighborhood is experiencing this situation as building is slated for Summer/Fall 2014 on Fairwind by TRI Pointe Homes on the former site of Lamb School. Truewind by TRI Pointe Homes will be built on the former site of Wardlow School on Pioneer Street and Magnolia. Prices for the new homes are anticipated to start at $900,000 to $1 Millions. (More information about the development can be found at http://www.tripointelamb.com)
There is no hardfast rule on this but logic and our experience supports that development on nearby proper-ties make the whole neighborhood look better–even for those that re-main unchanged. If property in our neighborhood decides to remodel or add on, not only will the new homes in the area help support the additional square footage, the other homes in the area will also be worth more merely because more folks want to live in an “improved area.”
We saw this in Fountain Valley with the new Lyons Homes on Bushard and Slater, the KB homes off of Bushard and Heil, and the recently completed Solana Walk by Olson Homes on Brookhurst and the 405. In those neighborhoods several home that were super-improved for the neighborhood were able to use these new developments to either refinance or sell for more than they could have had the new homes of not been built. For owners in the Glen Mar homes, Glen Mar South homes, South Shore homes, and surrounding tracts this is a situation where in other areas the positives have outweighed the negatives.

Q. About to put house on market but still cleaning out a few closets. It’s an older home but very nice, in a sought-after location but some things have been replaced over the years.
Should I get an inspection before even calling Stovall Team so that I could fix things before putting the house up for sale?
A. It’s usually not a good idea to order a professional home inspection prior to going “On The Market”. Consult the Stovall Team first. We will be happy to walk your property with you and point out obvious and immediate needed fixes. We will also offer suggestions for cosmetic repairs and placement of furniture items. These services are all a part of our regular program and are complimentary with our listing services.
The buyers will likely order a professional home inspection after their offer is accepted. You will then be presented with a copy of the buyer’s inspection report and more than likely a Request for Repair document. We will assist in negotiating a reasonable resolution to all repair requests. This is a very crucial part of the transaction and The Stovall Team will help to navigate you this process successfully.
We do, however, suggest that you get a Termite Inspection up front. The buyer will normally request and expect a Section One Termite Clearance. We can recommend a Termite Company that we have used, successfully in the past.
