Welcome, Home Shoppers! This is our new website (replacing scvnest.com) it's Super Fast and has all the MLS data and real estate listings!

Santa Clarita Hero Real Estate Agents

Our website features the best real estate search for homes, condos, land and foreclosure properties available. It is the only site you will ever need! It is easy-to-use and updated by the official Realtor®’s database every 15 minutes. 

Quick note: Some ask me if my website has other real estate listings besides what is on Zillow. The answer is yes because a seller can exclude their listing from the "non-realtor" based real estate syndication websites, Like Zillow, Trulia and others like them, so if you are on those websites you are missing listings. The Santa Clarita home experts website is a Board of Realtors approved real estate website and MLS data feed so you don't miss a thing. Plus, your personal information is not sold or give to anyone. I'm Connor and I'm the only one that sees who you are and wants to represent you when buying or selling real estate.

You can save searches, and get daily email alerts of new listings, price changes, sold data, and market reports. Our Interactive Map Search allows you to view properties on a map or refine your search by drawing the boundaries around the area you desire. 

Curious about what’s happening in your neighborhood? You can create a custom market report to see what’s active, under contract, and sold in your neighborhood!

Before embarking on any and all a real estate journey, you need to consult with professionals. Those who have themselves proven their own personal skill when it comes to the professional advice of which you seek.

When Paris and I wanted to get a trust for our family, we did not go it alone. We hired a Trust Expert to go through everything and give us their experience and all the options. "All" the options are necessary so the ideas can be tossed around and the most perfect to our situation could be chosen.

A while back we decided to hire a financial advisor. The first three we interviewed, I asked them their net worth. They looked at me in shock. I know why they reacted so abruptly, I happen to be from their generation. It was because our generation was taught it was rude to ever ask what someone is worth or how much they make. When I was little, I once asked my dad how much he was paid per hour and never made the same mistake again :)

The fourth financial advisor was the one we chose. He leaned back and smiled. He acknowledged that is a true sign of an "able" financial advisor. How did they build what they have, and for that fact - what do they have?

Todd gave us a run down and he was hired. There is no point in hiring a financial advisor that has not achieved anything financially. 

Enter real estate agents. Owning multiple properties can help with a proper investment strategy. When a Realtor has bought and sold several homes themselves, that can help with the negotiation aspect. When the real estate agent you are hiring has millions of dollars in real estate, that is a good sign of their abilities.

Of course, the numbers of people helped and represented with buying homes is a good reference point. Price point comparisons, between the agent's chosen listing price versus the sold prices, can indicate whether the agent knows what they are doing when listing and selling real estate. The advertising, marketing, and online presence which the agent you are interviewing has exhibited are very important. If they, like me, are on page one within the organic results then google and other online search systems have them indexed at an ultra-high level. 

Simple Navigation to the Top Santa Clarita real estate website

Home: Of course, this is the way you navigate back to the home page no matter where you are on within the website. Just get to the bottom of the top by scrolling and you will be taken right back here to this text on this very page. On the home page, which is different than the blog page, you will find the margins different. On the home page, there are a Facebook and Twitter-like and share icon. Below that, I have installed an address search, MLS or city inquiry for all things real estate in the markets in which I work as a realtor consultant.

The address search is awesome because you can verify if a home listing is truly for sale by typing in its address. There is an issue with websites advertising fake real estate listings to get the unsuspecting person to click on the link only to be conned into giving up their personal and private information. This happens too often. Within this search box for real estate, you can also enter a city or neighborhood in California to see those listings which are current, listed and available.

Santa Clarita Home Experts - Radio show:
This player is where I talk about the local real estate and housing markets. I ensure that all of our clients, those whom we have served, are currently working with and those who are going to utilize our services are up to date on the state of the present real estate and housing market.

"Is it the time to buy a home in Santa Clarita?" as an example, are some of the very pertinent questions that I ask myself then start to dissect the current housing and real estate market.

I use historical time frames to answer the hardest real estate questions.

As an example of the time frames I use and have access to they are:

• Year to Date
• Past 6 months
• Past 12 months
• Past 2 Years
• Past 3 Years
• Past 4 years
• Previous year
• Then I am able to go back to 2013 for the historical Santa Clarita real estate and housing data
• Custom Time frames - I can choose a single date, or multiple lines corresponding to the various start and stop points.

The statistics that I access to show the historical and current real estate trends are:

• Active Listings, $ and Volume
• Active Listings, Number of 
• Days to Lease, Average
• Days to Lease, Median
• Days to Sell, Average
• Days to Sell, Median
• Expired Listings, Count
• Lease Price, Average
• Lease Prive, Median
• Leases, $ Volume
• Leases, Number of
• List Price, Average
• List Price, Median
• Months of Inventory
• New Listings, Number of
• Original Price, Average
• Original Price, Median
• Sales Price, Average
• Sale Price, Median
• Sales, $ Volume
• Sales, Number of

To cinch down the results so all of our buyers and sellers can understand, I have a really strong grouping feature when I produce the Santa Clarita real estate home news update.

• None
• Buyer Agent
• Buyer Brokerage
• Buyer Team
• Co Buyer Agent
• Co Buyer Brokerage
• Co Buyer Team
• Co-Listing Agent
• Co-Listing Brokerage
• Co-Listing Team
• Leased Price
• List Price
• Listing Agent
• Listing Brokerage
• Listing Team
• Map Area
• Month
• Primary Year
• Primary Sub Type
• Property Type
• Sold Price

I also am able to use the correct property type so the comparisons are spot-on:

• Residential
• Residential income
• Residential Lease
• Land
• Manufactured in Park
• Commercial Sale
• Commercial Lease
• Business Opportunity

Radial Map searches are also part of my strategy to evaluate homes and real estate listings for my home sellers/buyers/ The radial mapping feature is very important when you have a comparative section/neighborhood and need to exclude residences which are not the same. You have seen where lower, less expensive, homes are in close proximity to larger, much more extensive estates? That is a prime example of why I would need to use such a real estate extraction tool.

Navigating our Santa Clarita home experts website is simple and will give you the best real estate related data and market condition updates and news. We are the local Santa Clarita real estate agents. We have ourselves given reference to our Santa Clarita real estate blog and other internal resources for clients, out of area agents, referral agents and those who are needing the best in real estate data, news, and market information.

New Homes and our new home buyer method

Our consultation business for real estate does not stop with re-sale homes. We are also those who price ourselves as being able to work with new home buyers with the new home contractors/builders. 

The new home builders have their own associate working at their model homes and working the phones when you call. You may run into them either way. However, don't give up your name, or email, or phone number. If you do you have acknowledged you are fine with having them represent you and the home builder.

There are benefits in negotiation with new homes and having a second set of eyes on the process. These differ than re-sale and the dual representation model, but not by much.

Dual Representation, aka Dual Agency, where the agent is representing both the home seller and the home buyer on the same particular real estate sale.

Some states and Canada have this real estate practice outlawed.

Here is how it plays out. There are certain things that I am privy to by being the representative, agent chosen, by the home seller. One of the important things is, I know the seller's bottom line, in most cases.

If I'm representing the home buyer, I know their financial ability also.

And if I'm the agent for both, then I may know too much.

You have to use your conscious as your guide. Whether or not you feel as if you can trust the listing agent to do your justice and visa versa. The same applies to the sellers in the world. 

I always prepare both sides, it may be my listing. If the seller does not feel comfortable with me representing the home buyer, then they will tell me and without getting hurt feelings, I'll refer the buyer to another agent, or ask them to seek another agent.

Not all home search websites/agents are equal

Notice the word "created" missing? I don't think that has anything to do with how real estate websites are and the same goes for real estate agents.

Some real estate websites are only monetized by getting you to give up who you are and personal information which will be sold to agents, lenders, box stores and others in the world who are paying handsomely for it.

After you give up a bit of who you are, then you get spammed.

You have my word, my wife, Paris MacIvor and I, Connor MacIvor, are the only two people who will see who you are once you visit and access SantaClaritaHomeExperts.com

If you need a lender and want to use one whom we have personally endorsed - great - with your permission I will refer you to them.

If you want some other real estate servicer or provider - such as a contractor, with your permission, I will refer you. Of course, at the end of the day, you are always in control of your personal and private information when it comes to dealing with the Santa Clarita Home Experts.

I remember working on the PD. There were cops that just did enough to get by and stay out of trouble. Then there were the hard-chargers that did a solid day's work while obeying all of the rules and never cutting corners. Finally, another category that existed is the cops that were running at 100% all the time, who had a clear goal but did not care about how it was accomplished.

I like to keep to the middle of my previous career example. "Then there were the hard-chargers that did a solid day's work while obeying all of the rules and never cutting corners." I came from an upbringing to always help people. I looked at being a cop in that way. I look at being a Realtor with the same lenses, although older and more mature.

If you have taken the time to read our home page, with a little about who we are and our real estate method. I'm sure we are a good fit. Reach out to me so we can schedule some time to meet at my offices or elsewhere to get more acquainted and take it from there.

I'm honored you took the time to read what I have put together. I'm Connor with HONOR and I'm glad to be of great service for all your real estate needs!
