Local Developer Offers 2 Homes For Price Of 1
-Michael Gleeson, Digital Correspondent

If you're looking for a bargain, the deals are out there. However, one particular deal takes the cake.

"We thought, 'Why does it just have to be on Pop Tarts and restaurants? Why not buy one home, get one free,'" said Dawn Berry of Michael Crews Development.

Michael Crews Development is offering new, 2000-square foot cityscape row-homes worth $400,000 in Escondido for free -- if you buy one Royal View Estate home in San Pasqual Valley starting at $1.6 million.

"You know it's a straight-up legit deal; no prices have been increased, there are no hidden costs. Michael is just giving away a free home for people that buy at Royal View," said Berry.

Adam Rossman of Michael Crews Development added, "People have been coming in saying, 'How can you do this?' Well, it's our way of dealing with current market conditions to move some inventory."

Foreclosures flooding the market are driving prices down, but this promotion is about creating a buzz and targeting investors looking at high-end properties.

Some of the homes include cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, Viking appliances, wine racks, 1,400-foot six-car garages, RV garages, pools and Jacuzzi tubs.

Berry said, "Buy a 4,000-square foot home at Royal View and they get an extra 2,000 square feet to do as they please, be that renting it out for investment property or be that letting their kids have a place."
So, it's time to call your parents to see if they're interested in moving to San Diego.

Keep in mind, buyers purchasing one home and getting the second free still need to pay property taxes on both.

California's housing slump speeds recovery for wildfire victims

2008-02-05T14:45:00.000-08:00

SAN DIEGO -- The housing slump is spreading gloom through the economy, but it's turned out to be a silver lining for thousands of Southern Californians who lost homes in last October's wildfires.
Families have their pick of builders. Idled subdivision builders are willing to take on single-home projects. One developer is taking burned lots as down payments on new tract homes that aren't selling.

More than 1,000 foreclosed houses repossessed by banks are up for auction in fire-ravaged areas.

"Daily we get flyers in the mail from people wanting our business," said John Vehar, 56, an AT&T Inc. project manager who lost his home in Ramona, north of San Diego.

The abundance of unsold houses and underemployed builders and contractors has helped Southern California get off to a fast recovery after nearly 2,200 homes were destroyed from north of Los Angeles south to the Mexican border. Flames charred about 800 square miles and killed 10 people.

Insurers are putting money in people's pockets. They have doled out $1.27 billion to cover wildfire damage, more than half the total claims of $2.26 billion. Industry watchdogs say companies may be trying to avoid lengthy payment disputes that dogged them after Southern California's massive wildfires in October 2003.

"This is the fastest ever - they're writing the check and getting out of Dodge," said George Kehrer, a lawyer at Community Assisting Recovery, a nonprofit group that counsels wildfire victims.

The state insurance commissioner has received only 138 complaints about wildfire coverage. Only 22 relate to underpayment by insurers, far fewer than in 2003.

Southern California, once one of the hottest housing markets in the country, was already suffering a severe housing slump that has only deepened since the fires. Home sales in a six-county swath were at their lowest in 20 years in December, according to research firm DataQuick Information Systems. New home construction is at a standstill.

The median home price in Southern California fell to $425,000 last month, the lowest since February 2005. With potential buyers pinched by the tightening credit or waiting for prices to fall even lower, fire victims flush with cash from insurance payouts are prime targets.

"In a slow time for homebuilding, it's a way for us to keep our people employed," said Mick Pattinson, chief executive officer of builder Barratt American, which is soliciting heavily in the Rancho Bernardo area of San Diego. "We hope to get our share."

It's a stark contrast to 2003, when nearly 3,600 homes were destroyed and the displaced were forced to compete for builders and contractors amid the housing boom.
"Nobody wanted us," said Karen Reimus, who owned one of 312 homes destroyed in San Diego's Scripps Ranch area in 2003.

As in previous disasters, the recovery is moving unevenly. In the seaside enclave of Malibu, near Los Angeles, where homes were lost in October's fires and again in November, rebuilding is slowed by state restrictions on coastal construction. City officials said they weren't aware of any burned-out residents planning to move away.

In the San Bernardino Mountains, many of the more than 400 decimated lots are still covered in debris and buried by snow, but one contractor has his house framed.

Reconstruction appears to be moving fastest in San Diego County, where one destroyed property has been replaced with a prefabricated home and at least 20 more have broken ground.

It has become easier for Californians to use insurance checks to move elsewhere, instead of rebuilding on their burned lots. After the 2003 fires, insurers were required to pay only policy minimums to customers who wanted to move. Under a new state law, they must pay whatever the policy will cover to rebuild on the burned lot.

"Right now the market is such that you can buy a house for a lot less than you can build one, especially with construction costs up," said Chris Hasvold, a broker in fire-struck Fallbrook, north of San Diego. "The appeal of moving elsewhere is that you can get on with your life."
One couple recently swapped their burned lot in Escondido, about 40 miles north of downtown San Diego, for a $250,000 credit on a new $700,000 tract house nearby. They moved in just before Christmas.

"If we didn't have standing inventory, we wouldn't make this offer," said Mark Connal, sales director for Michael Crews Development, which is negotiating similar trades with other families. He said he expected to hold on to the burned lots until the market recovers.

Frank Monticello, a financial manager at Hewlett-Packard Co., considered selling his burned lot on the Rancho Bernardo street where he and his wife have lived for two years. Then a developer offered to build a custom home for about the same price he would pay for an older house in the area.

Monticello negotiated a lower price once he learned the builder was selling similar floor plans in Riverside County at a substantial discount.

"We could probably wring some more out of them if we wait, but we really want to get going here," said Monticello, whose wife, Cheryl, gave birth to their second daughter shortly after the fires. "If things go perfectly we'll be in by Thanksgiving but we just want to be home by Christmas."

Synopsis -

It's time to give up hoping and praying and wishing and waiting for an immediate, rags-to-riches success story. If you want bonafide, genuine and rewarding success, you have to make an honest effort. That's exactly what San Diego native Michael Crews did, and his hard work has landed him in the elite class of multi-millionaires with one of the fastest growing real estate companies in America. Through his book, Michael wants others to learn how hard work earns success.
At age 19, Michael Crews, then a real estate salesman, enthusiastically resolved to work harder than everybody else. If other sales reps made 50 phone calls, Michael Crews made 75. When nobody wanted to give up their Saturdays to work, Michael Crews worked every single one. When everyone else was simply getting the job done, Michael Crews was getting it done the best way possible. It wasn't over night. It wasn't in a week. It wasn't even in a few years, but over time, good, old-fashioned, hard work paid off for Michael Crews, president of Michael Crews Development, a large real estate development company in southern California. Crews' book, HARD WORK: Success Made Easy, is a hot item among business professionals, college students and anyone who is looking to succeed in life. According to Crews, all a person needs are the right "Crews Controls" and the right work ethic.

Fire Victims Trade Rather Than Build

2007-12-27T13:32:00.000-08:00

As featured in the North County Times

-San Diego's newspaper
By: ZACH FOX - Staff Writer

ESCONDIDO ---- After losing their home to the Witch Creek fire two months ago, Jack and Mary Phillips have a new home before Christmas. Now if only Santa Claus would bring some furniture.

The couple were able to trade their scorched lot and insurance payouts for free-and-clear ownership of their new Escondido home, using a program offered by Michael Crews Development. Crews is one of several local builders who are adapting their business models to help fire victims transition into new homes.

"We're not excited. I haven't been excited in months," Jack Phillips said as he surveyed his new, empty home. "We're happy and pleased to get moving forward. But the whole thing has been depressing, knowing we used to have the furniture to fill this living room."

The Phillipses received their keys Friday but will not move in until the end of January in order to first furnish the house. Michael Crews Development sold the new home for $699,900, and the company hopes to at least break even on the trade, said Mark Connal, sales director for Michael Crews Development. He said $250,000 of the sale was compensation for the burned lot.

Whether Michael Crews can profit on the trade depends on the future market for a home on the lot. The trade allows the couple to move into their new home within a matter of months rather than wait in a rental for more than a year to rebuild on the old lot. Rebuilding homes for fire victims requires a tricky balance of offering discounts and sympathy while turning a profit, builders said.And for some smaller builders, the fires offer much-needed business as they struggle to survive during the housing downturn.

"It's unfortunate that, as they say, the misery of some is the fortune of others," said Mario Landini, president of San Diego-based Innovative Development and Construction. "Business is way too slow versus the year before. ... If it wasn't for the fire, I wouldn't be meeting with anyone. It's unfortunate, but it's driving the business."

Landini said he will rebuild homes at a 10 percent discount over his normal price. The rising cost of building materials ---- in part because of increased demand from China ---- adds some ambiguity to a rebuilding process that takes many months to design and plan, said Don MacLean, corporate vice president of operations for RWR Homes.

"I can't guarantee that a year from now, (building costs) would be the same price. It probably won't be," MacLean said.

By trading their lot with Michael Crews, the Phillipses are able to avoid the guesswork of rebuilding. Several builders said they would consider similar trades but have only received interest so far from fire victims looking to rebuild on the same lot.

One of those victims is Patrick O'Sullivan, who said he wanted to stay in the same Rancho Bernardo neighborhood. O'Sullivan has decided to rebuild with Stonefield Development and never considered trading in his lot for a new home before Christmas.

"We're staying in our (rental) house. We don't want to be moving again. Our next home will be our own home on our old lot in our old address," he said.Staying in the neighborhood and rebuilding means his family will stay in a rental house for 18 months, O'Sullivan said.

Both O'Sullivan and Phillips said they selected their respective builders based on the quality work and sympathetic help.O'Sullivan said he is looking to collaborate with his neighbors and take advantage of a group rebuilding discount, something that many companies offer.

Construction companies can cut down on costs related to transporting materials and building by working on several projects in close proximity at the same time, said Nick Pappas, president of K. Hovnanian's California Coastal region. On its face, rebuilding allows companies to offer reduced prices in comparison to new homes, Pappas said. Because the builder does not need to worry about changing the land's entitlements or building infrastructure, rebuilding a burned-down home can cost as much as 40 percent less, he said.

Single-home building represents a change in K. Hovnanian's subdivision-focused business model, one that Pappas said will remain after fire victims are in their new homes. And the housing downturn makes it easier to find construction workers.

"Subcontractors want the work, desperately," he said. "When there was work going everywhere, (they) weren't interested in doing one house, they were doing subdivision work."

Local homebuilder, Michael Crews, sets a quality precedent for North San Diego Real Estate

2007-03-14T10:23:00.001-07:00

Buying a new home is one of the largest investments you will ever make, so why settle for something less than perfect?

“If you’re going to spend thousands of dollars on a new home, you want it to be on the right stuff,” said Adam Rossman, Michael Crews Development Sales Associate. “You want it to be on construction, paint, carpet, amenities and appliances that you won’t need to upgrade or re-invest money into two years down the road. Many buyers don’t realize the importance of a quality homebuilder such as Michael Crews. There is a big difference between tile and fiberglass, and between generic appliances and stainless steel appliances. It’s like comparing a Rolex to a child’s plastic watch. Michael Crews Development is the Rolex of North San Diego real estate.”

Michael Crews Development homes are priced for quality and value. Pricing starts at just $539,900 at the Cityscape neighborhood in Escondido, and runs to the mid-millions at the gated Royal View community in Escondido’s beautiful San Pasqual Valley. Homes range from 2,071 square feet to 4,164 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and up to 6-car garages.

“You can tell when you’re inside a Michael Crews Development home,” Rossman said. “The homes are very distinct, and it’s hard to mistake the quality. If you do need help differentiating, just look in the window. Mr. Crews etches his name into the front door window of each new home to personally guarantee his product.

This is North San Diego County home financing at its best.”
