Lorraine has lived in the Ventura area for over 12 years. She has 3 children, William from Escondido, CA; Rob who is recently deceased and John from Ventura, CA.
William's lives in the Escondido, California area surrounded by his friends and step-daughter Kim. His beautiful wife Kim passed away but William is doing great. Her memory will never leave us.
Alysia Everett Burns, Rob's wife, is carring for their 2 children, Joshua and Jenna in the Cockeyville, Maryland area. She has accepted this great challenge and is doing wonderfully. I pray for her and the children every night. It takes a really special woman to care for her children on her own like she is doing!
John is living in Ventura, CA. He is a handyman by day. He sells used items at the swap meet and on eBay at night and weekends. He is a busy camper but seems to be enjoying himself and I guess that is what matters. Lorraine's background is in Customer Service. She has a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration - Information Systems from San Diego State University. So the mix of computers, technology, people skills come naturally to her. Throughout her life she has always been fascinated with real estate and always read the Sunday Home Section of the newspaper. When the opportunity arouse to change from the corporate world to self employment, she jumped at it. Now she loves what she does; doesn't mind the 80+ hour weeks; loves to show property and deal with people. You'll find her a very dedicated Realtor to help you every step of the way through your transaction.

Accepting An Offer >Responding to Low Offers
The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.
Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.
The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that the seller is more likely to prefer.
