GREETINGS.....As of May 2, 2008

Welcome to my website. Each month, I try and provide updates on the rental market based on my personal experience and email requests.

I'll start off by reminding customers that I don't work with short term rentals. I receive frequent requests for weekly or 1 month stay. Your only choices are a hotel or a condo style hotel. Many landlords don't want to work with short term when they could rather have long term tenants and less turn around.

There has also been a lot of requests for customers wanting to preview properties while they are visiting Guam for a few days but not planning to move in several months later. I know many want to find out what housing looks like when you get here but they won't be the same inventory when you get here and we'll have to househunt all over again. Good properties go quickly and so it's best to look at the properties when you finally arrive and are ready to move in. Because I am quite busy with many customers who are already on island and need to move in asap, I may not be able to entertain customers who are not in need of immediate housing as I must give priority to those who need to move in asap.

Alsi, I get alot of emails from prospective newcomers and try to get back to everyone quickly but I spend all day in the field showing properties, please be patient with a reply. I do get back to everyone as soon as I can. Also, I have a lot mail that's going to my spam filter. In case, you don't hear from me within 5 days, I suggest you resend again to see if it goes through.

On another subject, many customers want to get an idea of what to expect for housing and provide a listings of recommendations. I have many requests to "please send me a list of rentals available" or "I'm not arriving until 6 months from now, what can I expect?" Every customer can view the Mulitiple Listing Service (MLS) and search for properties online, anytime at their leisure. The MLS is the same database Realtors use to select properties for your househunting. It is updated 24/7, so what you see is current to what Realtors can see. I recommend reviewing the MLS system frequently especially a week prior to your arrival to give you an update of the most current rentals available. You can search the MLS by clicking "Search all Guam real estate listings now" above my home page. If there are no photos, the list agent has not uploaded any photos for that listing. Keep the list numbers you like and when your arrival nears, I will research them to find out if they are still available. The MLS is a powerful tool for househunting whether you are arriving tomorrow or next year and just want to get an idea of what's out there. I still get a lot of customers requesting a listing of properties but you have that capability to look at listings anytime. If you'd like me to find out more info, just email me the list numbers and I'll look into.

I also work with sales if you are also looking to purchase a house. Guam's real estate is getting pricier. 2 years ago, you could buy a condo for $90k and that same condo is about $145k now. New housing developments that presold for $190k were resold at closing as much as $300k.

Regarding househunting for purchase, trying to find a nice quality house under $350k is a most difficult task. If there is one in the market, it goes quickly. A lot of new houses that are built are sold months before it's done. If you are really looking for an executive house, you'll need to stretch your budget upwards of $400k.

Lastly, I rarely take phone calls during the day when I'm driving with customers so please leave me a voicemail or email me. I truly prefer an email if you are still not on island because you can detail all the info I need to know so I can respond back answering most of your questions. It's also easier to email me because I'm always on the road and I check my email all the time on the go. Please keep the time difference of Guam in mind. I have received calls as early as 3am in the morning. Again, I'm quick to respond via email.

I will do my best to find you the best home/condo/townhouse within your criterias. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to be of service.

Happy Moving to all:)

Moving can be frustrating and finding a place to live once you arrive in Guam can be overwhelming especially if you've never been here before or don't know anyone who can be of help. Look no further, I specialize in housing rentals and will find that home you want.

Let me do some homework before you get here. Provide me the following information on the type of place you're looking for and I can email you a list of my recommendations, pricing and availabilities.Click on the different Guam neighborhoods to see what kind of condominiums/apartments/homes you'll expect to find in Guam.

And if it's your first time here, I can send you a Welcome to Guam information pack as well. My services are free of charge to you, just let me help you find a place you like!

Why do all the driving if you don't know your way around Guam? I will take you house hunting until you are completely satisfied.

Don't waste your time looking at classifieds, getting directions on how to find a place, driving around aimlessly. There are so many units on the market not listed in the classified ads that you aren't aware of, I'll save you time, gas, stress... and provide you the best list of choices that are available from the specifications you provide me and I'll show them all to you.

Keep in mind that renting in Guam isn't cheap. Most newcomers always compare that they can get more from the same price renting elsewhere in the mainland. With much military arriving to the island, the rental market inventory doesn't last that long especially for good units in excellent condition. If you see something you like, don't wait too long before you make an offer because it can be gone. I can't stress this more than enough. I've seen many units that were taken because my customers took sometime to think about it. I share the same database, the Multiple Listing Service, with all the Realtors on the island so even if you work with another agent, that agent will be providing you the same info on the market. But I have many leads on units that are not even on the market yet as I specialize in rentals, many landlords always contact me first about their units coming availability.

Beachfront living is the most common request by many who move to Guam. Tumon is the most desirable location to live for many newcomers because it is Guam's entertainment, shopping, hotel, and tourist district similar to Hawaii's Waikiki. A beachfront condo in Tumon can cost anywhere from $2000 for a 2 bedroom, $3000 for 3 bedroom and on the high end, prepare to spend $4500 for a 3 bedroom unit in one of the most elegant, newest beachfront condos in Guam. Even with these prices, there are only rare openings for such units at any given time.

But if you can't afford beachfront living, you can still enjoy Tumon with many oceanview apartments averaging $1000-$1200 for a 3 bedroom unit that are walking distance to the beach and to lots of shopping
