When I tell you the views from this home overlooking the Catta Verdera Golf Course in Lincoln are spectacular and mind blowing, you will still need to tour this home for yourself because photos can’t do enough justice and words will render you speechless, particularly when you’re absorbing the view in person from this back yard. The Catta Verdera Golf Course is part of the Catta Verdera Country Club, which boasts the only 4 1/2 star golf course in Northern California. This .3571 lot sits high on the hill with views of Sutter Buttes and the Sacramento Valley, as far as the eye can see.

Glancing over the infinity edge of the pool, which drops magically out of sight, you’ll notice the Catta Verdera Golf Course and pond, below the natural landscaping of indigenous vegetation. Sometimes the sky is red and pink and yellow, other times a rich purple, but the sunset almost always amazes.

Inside this home is over 5,500 square feet of luxury living space, featuring mostly walnut hardwood floors throughout. There are 6 bedrooms and a workout room, plus a media center, home office and loft. You will love the cherry cabinetry throughout and travertine floors. The only thing missing in the kitchen is a built-in Miele demitasse coffee maker. There is a wine / beverage refrigerator, a 6-burner gas cooktop, all stainless appliances and a built-in refrigerator, in addition to the granite counters, island and pantry.

The dual staircases that curve ever-so-gently in the entrance take you to the second floor. Off to the right is the master suite, which features a fireplace and spectacular views from the balcony and myriad windows. This home on the Catta Verdera Golf Course is a short sale, and we have already started the process. It goes without saying that you are in the hands of a short sale specialist, but for those of you who do not know, Elizabeth Weintraub has closed more short sales in a 7-county area of Sacramento for the past 10 years than any other real estate agent, according to Trendgraphix. You’re in expert hands.

3641 Monteverde Drive, Lincoln, CA 95648 is offered exclusively by Elizabeth Weintraub and Lyon Real Estate at $929,000. For more information about this home on the Catta Verdera Golf Course, please call 916.233.6759. Virtual tour of Monteverde.

Losing the Attitude Helps to Keep it Real in Sacramento Real Estate

Ya gotta lose the attitude to keep it real in Sacramento real estate.

A home seller from Lincoln mentioned yesterday that he has sold a handful of homes over the past couple of years and bought a home about a year ago, and he has never had such a smooth and easy transaction as he did selling a short sale through me. I called to congratulate him on closing his short sale. I sold the home almost immediately, it comped by the bank at the sales price, and we received a very fast approval, within about 10 days. He sounded almost astonished that he could say that his short sale was so much smoother than compared to a regular transaction. I guess you could say he was very pleased with my performance as his short sale agent.

I try to let buyer’s agents know when they call me that I am very experienced with Sacramento short sales, because that fact will tend to put their minds at ease and calm any fears their buyers might have about buying a short sale. Because after all, why would you buy a short sale if you could buy a home that was NOT a short sale — as a regular home would close much sooner. And there aren’t as many short sales nowadays as there were a few years ago. People need reassurance, and I get that.

The words I never utter, under any circumstances, are: don’t you know who I am? Because that sounds so pretentious, self-absorbed and sorta cocky. That’s something that Reese Witherspoon would say and did, evidently, when pulled over by the cops for speeding. That’s something a mortgage lender asked the other day when he whipped off an email: Do you know who the clients are? Doesn’t he? I guess it’s not Reese Witherspoon. I offered to let my transaction coordinator look it up for him. Even though his boss earlier that day had admitted they were no longer the mortgage brokers on that particular transaction. Criminy, guys, let it go. Try losing the attitude.

I say to people I have a dubious honor — because I don’t really know if it’s an honor, it wasn’t something I set out to achieve — but when I looked at the numbers, they were staring me in the face. The numbers from Trendgraphics reflect that I have sold more total short sales in a 7-county area than any other Realtor in Sacramento, a record that has continued to grow since 2006. That’s in addition to my regular real estate business in Sacramento.

Still, it was nice to hear from my home seller in Lincoln that I had exceeded his expectations. It doesn’t matter to me who my clients are — short sales or million-dollar owners — I treat each and every one of their files as though it is the one project I’m working on. It’s just the way I’m wired.
