Jerry Tijerina

Real Estate Broker My name is Jerry Tijerina I am a bilingual Spanish speaking Broker in Concord Ca. Originally born in Texas and moved to Concord Ca in 1988. Married in 1999, and father of 3 wonderful boys. My 12 years in Real Estate experience has lead me to provide efficient, timely, and dedicated service to my clients. My priority in every transaction is putting my client's interest first and achieving their goal. Changing careers full time into Real Estate when the Real Estate bubble had burst, my family thought I was crazy and making a huge mistake. Through hard work and becoming a listing agent for Banks, representing many buyers and sellers in short sale, and traditional transactions, helped me gain valuable Real Estate experience. Buyers: My goals when representing buyers is making sure I educate my clients on the purchasing process, inspections, and my partnership with their lender. Negotiating the best price & terms for my clients is the most important priority for me. Through the entire purchasing process, I am there for my buyers making sure I answer all their questions. Sellers: My goal when representing sellers is making sure I educate my clients on the Listing process of their property, inspections and working with the buyers agent. Giving my clients feedback and giving them ideas on how to prepare their homes for the market is extremely important. Sometimes small repairs can lead to BIG RETURNS. One of the most important elements of listing a property is coming up with the properties home value. I prepare a CMA Competitive Market Analysis on my client's property. This analysis gives both me and my clients a very good idea of what similar properties are selling for in the community. This is where my 10 years of experience and knowledge comes together. Short Sale Transaction: Representing Sellers: My experience in Real Estate has given me the opportunity to negotiate many Short Sale Transactions. These transactions can be very difficult for Sellers. Many times sellers are already going through hardship with their properties. I do my best to educate my sellers on all their options when thinking about doing a short sale. I educate them on the Pros and Cons on performing a Short Sales. I make sure to guide them through the process, and answer any questions they may have. Short Sale Transaction: Representing Buyers: My experience in Real Estate have given me the opportunity in representing buyers on purchasing Short Sale homes. Many of my clients that purchased a short sale property had very little understanding on what it means to purchase a distressed property. I educate my buyers and let them know if they are on a time constraint, a short sale may not be in their favor because it could take anywhere from 2-9 months to get short sale bank approval and close. On the other hand I also let my clients know that short sale homes can also be very rewarding if they have the patience to wait a little longer. Property Management Services: As CEO of my company, I added an additional service to our company in 1999. Due to a strong demand from many of my investors purchasing investment property I was constantly being asked if I could manage their properties. With additional training, I was able to put together our property management branch. My knowledge in Real Estate has also given me the opportunity to purchase several properties for my own portfolio and flip them for a profit. This knowledge gives me the opportunity to work with my investors knowing that I understand what their priorities are in rehabbing their investments.
