Read MoreJust Sold – 3782 Rock Island Drive
It took quite a while, but we have finally closed on this amazing home. As soon as I saw it come on the market I knew this was the one for them. It had everything they were looking for and it was completely updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. We were looking for a home with a fireplace, vaulted ceilings, updated kitchen and bathrooms and plenty of room and this had it all.It came on the market on February 14th and by the 17th we had it under contract. I’m sure it wouldn’t have lasted a week on the market if we had waited. My buyers are going to enjoy a great home in Rosemont close to their family. I’m confident in knowing that when I recommended that they pass on a home that was almost good enough and that we wait for the perfect home, it was the right recommendation. Sure, I could have had them under contract sooner, but that’s not what it’s about for me. By doing the right thing and waiting for the perfect house I know that my duty to my buyers was done at the highest level and as a bonus, I’m getting invited over for...
Read MoreIt’s been too long…
I’ve been busy with clients and haven’t posted to my blog in over a month. Since my last post we have closed on that great listing on Ole Ct in the Rosemont neighborhood and three more clients have put properties under contract. One of those, a 5 bedroom 4 bathroom, 3500 square foot home in West Sacramento is scheduled to close this week. I doubt it will ever fail to amaze me home much of a difference there is in neighborhoods. Right now a great 3,500 square foot house built 5 years ago in West Sacramento or a wonderful 1,000 square foot house built 75 years ago in East Sacramento both can be purchase in the low $300,000’s. It all depends on what you’re looking for in a home and neighborhood. On the other hand, there are plenty of good homes in the area for under $150,000. At the current amazingly low interest rate the payment (PITI – Principle, Interest, Tax and Insurance) on $150,000 house is just under $1,000 per month. My buyers are loving...
Read MoreI’ve Lost That New Listing Feeling
It’s not that the new listing feeling doesn’t last very long, it’s that the listing itself didn’t last very long on the market. It went live late Sunday night and by Friday evening a great offer was accepted for the property. Amazing how well a house moves when it is priced right and the sellers have done everything to make it shine. Add in over 20 professional glamour shots and lots of marketing and easy showing access for a very quick transaction. The Pending Sale feeling is even better than the new listing feeling. 9468 Ole Ct Pending...
Read MoreThat New Listing Feeling
There is all the planning, analyzing the competition, bringing out a staging expert and a professional photographer and trying to fit all the great details of an amazing property into the 500 characters allowed for the property description. Finally the magical day when all the planning comes to fruition and the new listing goes live! You’re pretty sure that with all of the work, planning and pricing, that Team Seller & Agent have an amazing offering. On opening day the activity is great and the feedback is all that you were hoping for. It looks like the public agrees with us and we’ve got a hit on our hands. Since it’s such a good start to the week, I think I’ll try my hand at the Ratatouille recipe I’ve just found in September’s issue of Inside East Sacramento… The Finished Dish! Got to love that new listing...
