Shandrow Group Goes International!
We’re proud to announce that Shandrow Group will soon be making its European television debut in a German “60 Minutes”-style documentary on the booming California foreclosure market.
We were honored to have Munich-based FOCUS TV Produktions GmbH along for the ride for an entire day last week as editor Kirsten Moser and her camera crew shadowed Shandrow Group broker-owner Mark Shandrow while he went about his business day. The video shoot included visits to:
The 20-minute FOCUS TV California foreclosure market documentary segment also features a San Diego sheriff performing officer eviction lockouts and a work crew in Perris painting brown grass green, a common instant front yard “face lift” in a foreclosure-blighted neighborhood.
Mark expressed his experienced, informed perspective on what the future holds for the local and national foreclosure market on-camera, specifically regarding the American real estate industry’s emergent shadow inventory phenomenon.
He explained that approximately one-third of Southern California foreclosures are now in what’s called shadow or “limbo” territory. That is to say that they are not registering in county records as having been resold.
Banks throughout California and the rest of the country are “sitting on hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes that they have not resold or listed for sale.” When those shadow inventory properties flood the market–and they will–home values will dramatically drop in response, Mark told German FOCUS TV reporters.
With so many bank repossession and default notices expected to explode onto the market in the coming weeks and months, Mark doesn’t foresee the foreclosures trend slowing down any time soon.
“This is just the beginning of the foreclosure market,” Mark commented. “Coupled with property depreciation in California, in the coming years, we can expect this situation to continue to greatly impact the domestic and global economies.”
“On a brighter note, we will eventually see the real estate market come back into balance,” Mark said. “However, it will definitely take plenty of time. Unfortunately, this is the way a free market works. The real estate market became incredibly inflated, and in turn inflated people’s expectations, and it just has to level out at some point.”
Munich-based Focus TV, a spin-off of the internationally read Focus Magazine, is broadcast throughout Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
All of us at the Shandrow Group truly appreciated and enjoyed the up-close-and-personal opportunity to play a direct role in educating an international audience on the fast-paced, ever-evolving Los Angeles and Orange County area foreclosure climate, and, more specifically, Southern California’s unprecedented shadow inventory, which you’ll definitely be hearing about in the headlines very soon.
When we receive a video link to the segment, you’ll be the first to know!
