Once again, I stopped at an open house cold while driving around the San Fernando Valley this Sunday, January 6, 2013. I parked across the street, noticing the garage was full of home improvement materials. I was greeted warmly at the door by the listing agent and given the star treatment tour. The house is laid out well, the dining area flows into the new kitchen, then to the living area with two bedrooms and a bathroom in the middle. Further down a hall is a large third bedroom with bath and finally the master suite with huge walk in closet, sliding doors to a small back yard, and in room master bath. The entire house has been redone with travertine tile, recessed lighting, wood floors, tasteful fixtures, and is completely painted. After the star tour, I ask what the price is, 569k I'm told and 'prices are going up, they just are' (I admit, I liked that added statement) I politely said that is good for 'you' and she said 'It's good for the eoonomy too'. Again, cannot agrue with that. She asked if I would sign the guest book, I abliged. I didn't think to grab a listing sheet, (I'm not the picturesque 4 bedroom 3 bath house buyer.) I was given a business card. I would just find it later, so I thought. The card does not have a website, there is a real estate office listed but the house is not shown on that website either. My take is the listing agent I met really wants to sell the house by herself. But this means there are additional properties for sale that are not listed for the public on the MLS sites..
