So Nice Selling 9383 Soaring Oaks Drive - Elk Grove Real Estate Agent 
I've sold real estate in Elk Grove for the last 15 years.  Monday, 9383 Soaring Oaks Drive sold and it was one of the nicest sales I've maybe ever had.  It was such a pleasant experience for everyone that I have to blog about it!
The seller called me last year and after looking at her home and discussing current Elk Grove market conditions, we decided it was NOT the best time to sell.  Fast forward a year later and prices are up, inventory is steady, and … (0 comments)

elk grove real estate agent: New Homes in Elk Grove are Easier to Buy Than Resale Homes - 11/01/12 10:04 AM
New Homes in Elk Grove are Easier to Buy Than Resale Homes 
Elk Grove's resale home inventory is the lowest it's been since 2004!  With about 1 month of inventory, it's VERY difficult for buyers to find a home they like and get their offer accepted.  Every house I sell has multiple offers and lots of competition.  Buyers who are able to pay all cash often score the house.  But what about buyers with a conventional loan or even FHA?  It's terribly difficult for those buyers, needing a loan, to get into contract on an Elk Grove resale home because … (0 comments)

Elk Grove Real Estate Agent - Two More Short Sales Sold
The bulk of my business has always been in Elk Grove.  I've sold hundreds of Elk Grove homes during my 15 year career as a real estate agent.  Last week I closed two more homes in Elk Grove, both short sales.  If you can sell short sales, you can sell anything!  Short sales are the toughest kind of sales because they are ever changing.  Good real estate agents need to go with the flow a bit and that's especially true for short sales!

elk grove real estate agent: Elk Grove Short Sales SOLD by Allan Sanchez - 03/08/12 01:08 AM
 
Elk Grove Short Sales SOLD by Allan Sanchez

Elk Grove short sales are very different from traditional sales.  In a short sale, the seller owes more on the home than it's currently worth.  Their lender must agree to sell the home for less than the loan and except the sales price as payment in full.  The short sale process is tedious without an experienced Elk Grove short sale agent handling the paperwork, negotiation, follow-up, and many questions that are sure to come up.
Most people choose to short sale because their home's value is substantially less than their mortgage.  … (0 comments)

With over 12 years selling real estate full time in Elk Grove, I've actually lost track of all the homes I've sold. According to the MLS, I've sold 103 Elk Grove homes since 2/8/08.  Three years is as far back as the MLS will let me look.  I'm guessing that I've sold well over 250 Elk Grove homes since I've started selling real estate in 1998.
I love being a real estate agent in Elk Grove because the city offers so much to its residence.
