Multiple Counter Offers and Rural Property

Multiple Counter Offers and  Rural Property

Multiple counter offers and rural property often go hand-in-hand. Of course, that depends on the price point. We listed a property just under two acres with nearby freeway access in a lovely area with RD2 zoning. It has gas, electric, and a water meter to the property. We have 5 offers and more expected.

RD2 zoning is a big plus as it stands for 2 homes per property and an accessory dwelling unit. There is a paved frontage road and fenced green pastures. There are old structures that are tear-downs, just perfect for building your custom home. Our phones have not stopped ringing. If you want to own your piece of the Wild Wild West, drive-by Verner Ave in Sacramento.

Take the I-80 east to Greenback Lane, take the first right on Garfield then your next left on Verner. Property is on the right side with a big beautiful for sale sign in front. We have multiple counter offers and rural property, so look no further. Submit your offer today. Contact Weintraub & Wallace Realtors with RE/MAX Gold. We can be reached at 916-233-6759.

Do Experienced Realtors Write Incomplete Offers?

Do Experienced Realtors Write Incomplete Offers?

Do experienced Realtors write incomplete offers? That is a great question. The Real Estate purchase agreement, RPA in California is a detailed contract. There are classes at the real estate board and workbook for dummies type books on it. It takes a desire to learn what each sentence and paragraph means. It is an important document as Realtors we do three things:

  1. List real estate
  2. Sell property
  3. Realtors use Listing Agreements and Purchase Agreements
  4. Realtors can do property management; however, many brokerages do not allow Realtors to do Property Management without adequate training.
  5. Tenant disputes are one of the most significant issues with DRE, the Department of Real Estate.
  6. Incomplete offers are more common than you might think.

Our team takes a large number of listings each year. the offers arrive without dates, without the agency confirmation filled out, appropriate boxes are not checked or the incorrect boxes are checked. Newer agents who write lots of offers sometimes have more experience writing offers. An agent who has 10 years on the job but only writes 10 offers a year, may not have as much experience as an agent with 5 years of experience who writes 40 offers per year. Do experienced Realtors write incomplete offers? Yes.

Agents with decades of experience and a very busy real estate practice are far and few between. The same is true today 20% of the agents sell 80% of the real estate. It’s an EZ performance record to prove.

If you want to hire Realtors who write complete strong offers that win, call Weintraub & Wallace Realtors with RE/MAX Gold. We can be reached at 916-233-6759.

Alicante Villas Sacramento Condo sale in 30 days

Alicante Villas Sacramento Condo sale in 30 days

Alicante Villas Sacramento condo sale in 30 days earned our team a 5 star Zillow review below from a happy home seller. Sellers who take the time to provide other people with a rating recommendation is always so appreciated. Our team did a great job of selling this condo in just 30 days after another real estate company had failed to do so in 120 days.

“I had listed my condo with a different company and it stayed on the market for four long months. I was getting showings but no offers. I was depressed and desperate. I found JaCi and listed my condo with her. Within a month she found the perfect buyer and within another month we closed escrow. I wished I have listed with JaCi from the very beginning. Highly recommended.”
548 Woodside Oaks APT 2, Sacramento, CA 95825

We love our clients because this is what it is all about. When a client comes to us so emotionally exhausted from basically trying to sell the property themselves we jump in all hands on deck. Our seller had hired a discount internet-based real estate company out of the area so she was doing most all the work. We put our hearts and souls into it on each and every sale and this was no exception as we deliver on our promises. It was so rewarding to know we made a real difference in our seller’s life as we lifted a bit of burden off her shoulders. Our seller was thrilled that her Alicante Villas Sacramento condo sale in 30 days closed quickly, smoothly and without stress.

If you want to receive 5-star service from a team of 5-Star Realtors that truly care, call us. Weintraub & Wallace Realtors with RE/MAX Gold can be reached at 916-233-6759.

Agent Confidential Remarks in Sacramento MLS

Agent Confidential Remarks In Sacramento MLS

Agent confidential remarks in Sacramento MLS is the best-kept secret because many agents do not read them. Why do you ask? Well, the idea is the comments are not for public viewing. They might consist of an alarm code, information about offer submission, whether someone died in the property, and so on. Metrolist only lets agents put marketing comments in the MLS for the general public. We cannot insert disclosure comments or title company information and, of course, tenant information is not on public display.

No matter how thorough a description appears and / or instructions we put in MLS, telephone calls pour in asking the questions we already answered and provided. We ask, did you read the agent confidential remarks? Oh boy, the responses are over the top, such as, oh, I’m driving or I’m not at my computer or I read so many printouts I’m confused about what property I’m calling about, lol. Sad but true. The real answer is, nope I didn’t read the agent confidential remarks because I would rather take up your time and not do my job. It is so unprofessional to not read the information that was provided.

The first thing our team reads on the MLS is the agent confidential remarks. The second thing is to look for is any attachments and the third, the property history. These are honorable mentions for another blog. Why do we do our homework and look at all the available data on a property? Our job is to be thorough and share all relevant available information with our clients.

Is it important to let a buyer know someone passed away in a property? For some people, it is an immediate red flag. Why get a buyer all excited they write an offer, pay for an appraisal and home inspection, only to cancel when they find out someone died in the house. Agent confidential remarks in the Sacramento MLS is the best place to start the research. Make sure your agents are researching and leaving no stone unturned on your behalf.

We want to make sure you have all the information available on a property before you make an offer. If you want to buy or sell a property, call Weintraub & Wallace Realtors with RE/MAX Gold. We can be reached at 916-223-6759.
