He should be put away for a while this time. Arrested this week on multiple charges including check bouncing, giving false information to police, drugs, probation violation and fraud, fake real estate philanthropist Drew Christian Donovan is now in San Mateo County jail awaiting a hearing on June 14. #drewdonovan #fraud #dtla

Arrested again - Drew Donovan — Arrested and facing charges – Drew Donovan

Donovan, who also goes by the name Christian Andrews and once known as convicted felon Jimmy Wayne Jackson originally of Holland, Michigan, first gained the attention of the L.A. Loft Blog more than a year ago after he called our office requesting help to buy a luxury Sky loft in Downtown Los Angeles. It turns out that he is a scammer who claims to be a wealthy individual with terminal cancer who wants to help deserving individuals to pay their bills, and even wants to buy them a home. He just needs some assistance along the way to avoid his meddling parents, and he asks for a bit of help for his expenses during the process — well, he wants thousands of dollars of help actually. Based on Donovan’s carefully crafted B.S., it can seem like a small price to pay for more than a million dollars of handouts.

Free Million Dollar Condo! -- Not — Free Million Dollar Condo! — Not

Of course, his payments of the bills will bounce, the million dollar check will bounce and the home purchase will never occur as his earnest money deposit confirmation and all other financial confirmations that he provides are phony. Naturally, nearly everything he says is a lie. Donovan is a full-time charlatan who runs a criminal enterprise using the highest level of skill, technology, forgery and identity theft to bilk hundreds of victims (including families and disabled persons) out of millions of dollars to support his depraved lifestyle of drugs and anonymous sex. He has even been accused of kidnapping a mother away from her children, and, based evidence recovered by the LA Loft Blog, Donovan might possibly be suspected of poisoning and rape using sleeping pills like Ambien. This monster is exactly where he belongs today because we all worked together to stop him:

Let’s hope he stays there for quite a while before he slithers his way back to Southern California.

4 Steps to Follow When Presenting an Offer in Today’s Market! |

So, you’ve been searching for that perfect Loft to call a ‘home,’ and you’ve finally found it! The price is right, and in such a competitive market, you want to make sure that you make a great offer so that you can guarantee that your dream of making this Loft yours comes true!

Below are 4 steps provided by Freddie Mac to help buyers make offers, along with some additional information for your consideration:

1. Determine Your Price
“You’ve found the perfect Loft and you’re ready to buy. Now what? Your real estate agent will be by your side, helping you determine an offer price that is fair.”

Based on your agent’s experience and key considerations (like similar lofts recently sold in downtown Los Angeles or the condition of the Loft and what you can afford), your agent will help you to determine the offer that you are going to present.

Getting pre-approved will not only show home-sellers that you are serious about buying, but it will also allow you to make your offer with confidence because you’ll know that you have already been approved for a mortgage in that amount. #Lofts #dtla

2. Submit an Offer
“Once you’ve determined your price, your agent will draw up an offer, or purchase agreement, to submit to the seller’s real estate agent. This offer will include the purchase price and terms and conditions of the purchase.”

Talk with your agent to find out if there are any ways in which you can make your offer stand out in this competitive market! A licensed real estate agent who is active in the neighborhoods you are considering will be instrumental in helping you put in a solid offer.

3. Negotiate the Offer
“Oftentimes, the seller will counter the offer, typically asking for a higher purchase price or to adjust the closing date. In these cases, the seller’s agent will submit a counteroffer to your agent, detailing their desired changes, at this time, you can either accept the offer or decide if you want to counter.

Each time changes are made through a counteroffer, you or the seller have the option to accept, reject or counter it again. The contract is considered final when both parties sign the written offer.”

If your offer is approved, Freddie Mac urges you to “always get an independent home inspection, so you know the true condition of the home.” If the inspector uncovers undisclosed problems or issues, you can discuss any repairs that may need to be made with the seller or even cancel the contract altogether.

4. Act Fast
The inventory of Lofts listed for sale has remained well below the 6-month supply that is needed for a ‘normal’ market. Buyer demand has continued to outpace the supply of homes for sale, causing buyers to compete with each other for their dream homes.

Make sure that as soon as you decide that you want to make an offer, you work with your agent to present it as quickly as possible.

Bottom Line
Whether buying your first home or your fifth, having a local real estate professional who is an expert in his or her market on your side is your best bet in making sure the process goes smoothly. Let’s talk about how we can make your dreams of home-ownership a reality!
