We just received this letter from a Sacramento home seller

Thu, 09 May 2013 21:53:34 -0700

We just received this great testimonial from a Sacramento home seller. She was an investor who owned a rental property in Sacramento which we sold for over list price, which was of course more than she thought it was worth, in less than a week. We closed it less than 3 weeks later! This Sacramento investor was very happy! It always feels so good to receive a letter like this one. Here is her testimonial letter -

6 May 2013

I can’t speak highly enough of Bruce, Lori, and Danny. From my first conversation with Bruce I had confidence in the team. He spoke with clarity and honesty and quoted realistic figures and time frames. He obviously knew the trends in the real estate market very well and also knew the condition of the market in the Sacramento area. He was careful not to give me unrealistic expectations and led me through the process step by step.

Lori was very easy to get a hold of day and night and made sure that thing ran smoothly as we went through the process. She was quick with estimates and net sheets and handled things with expediency and thoroughness. Danny had every document needed for my transactions almost immediately.

My tenants moved out on 1 April, my house was rekeyed and on the market on 2 April, and by 7 April I had 8 offers on the property! By 30 April, we had closed escrow and I received $7000 over the asking price, which was quite a bit more than I expected for the home!

I found Bruce, Lori, and Danny to be extremely professional, and very personable. Their advice was always practical and logical and they worked hard on my behalf. It was truly a pleasure to work with them. The ironic part is that I have never personally met them, as I live in San Diego and they were able to handle this entire transaction without any interruption in my life whatsoever. I never had to fly up to Sacramento. They went above and beyond my expectations and I am very grateful for this extraordinary team of professionals. When I head up to northern California for a visit I will be eager to stop by and visit them and thank them again, face to face.

Sincerely,

Sandra Russell

Speechless Sunday - Sacramento's Electric Run

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 22:43:20 -0700

Last night was the first Electric Run in Sacramento CA. There were about 10,000 people running and walking the 5K course that was set up at Cal Expo in Sacramento. We had a great time with a small team from Keller Williams Realty Elk Grove. We saw a lot of crazy outfits and a lot of people having a great time running. Watch a quick video to see more of the Electric Run.

Next up for me...a trail run in Folsom next Saturday!

The New Normal for Elk Grove homes for sale???

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:30:03 -0700

I have written many posts recently about how crazy the Elk Grove housing market has become. We have the lowest inventory in the past 7 years. As agents we are trying to wrap our heads around this crazy market in Elk Grove CA. Is this the new normal?

Let me give you a quick example. We put a home on the market in the Camden area of Elk Grove about 3 weeks ago for $270,000. It went pending with multiple offers within 4 days. It ended up pending for cash at $285,000 to close in 15 days. It was a hedge fund buyer who did inspections, put their deposit into escrow and then we did not hear from them for the next 19 days. And they did not close escrow.

So back on the market this Elk Grove home goes, but now at $285,000. We receive 2 offers immediately - one at $290,000 cash and one at $295,000 with a large down payment and financing. So let me put this into perspective....the seller will now net $10,000 more by closing less than 1 month later!

This Elk Grove housing market is HOT! If you are a buyer you do not want to wait. Right now interest rates are great and although prices have gone up they are still very affordable. Both the interest rates and prices very likely will go up over the next few months...you don't want to wait. So jump off the fence and call us today at (916) 405-5765 so that you do not miss this great opportunity to own your own home!

And if you are an Elk Grove home seller and would like to find out what the value of your Elk Grove home is in this current market, either call us at (916) 405-5737 or go to www.95624sellers.com.

Weekly Elk Grove Market Update...Week of

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:08:10 -0700

Well, it's Tax Day! And time for our weekly Monday morning Elk Grove reale state market update - this is for the week of April 8th through April 14th.

There were 33 new SOLD and closed listings in the 3 zip codes of Elk Grove (95624, 95757 and 95758) with the median sales price being $235,000! The average days on the market is at 21days. The number of closed transactions is up this week and this is great to see! More inventory means more sales as it seems almost every new listing that hits the market is SOLD in the first week!

46 new listings hit the market in Elk Grove CA last week. Of these 46 new listings, 8 or under 20% are Elk Grove short sale homes. The number of distressed proeprties has really gone down over the past few months. The lowest priced new listing in Elk Grove is on Napton Way in the 95624 zip code area and is priced at only $145,000 while the highest priced new listing is located on Kapulua Lane in the 95624 zip code area priced at $599,000.

And the really crazy thing is that 76 listings went pending with the median price increasing to $309,000 and the average days on the market being 16 days! Our pendings cannot keep exceeding our new listings the way it has....we will have no inventory! At the end of March 2013, we had only 3 weeks of inventory in the Elk Grove area.

Our inventory in Elk Grove is at a 6 year low! Homes are selling quickly and often times for over the list price with multiple offers. Some homeowners who thought they were upside down in their homes have called us recently to discover they actually have equity now! In 2012 we hit bottom! So, if you’re thinking about selling your home in Elk Grove this spring, but think that you should wait until summer, think again!

The market shows no sign of slowing down. Listing sooner than later is the smart play.

How would you like 18 buyers competing for your home? Take advantage of this RED HOT Elk Grove real estate market! Check back next week for our weekly Elk Grove real estate market update.

Speechless Sunday - Running of the Elk Half Marathon

Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:13:19 -0700

I finished! I feel like I really accomplished something this morning in the Running of the Elk Half Marathon! I ran in it last year with my daughter, Rachel and I was so excited that I finished. This year was different. I have been on a quest with both of my daughters to run it this year and we have been training in Elk Grove. I got really sick with the flu a week ago and on Monday of this last week couldn't hardly even run. Well, both of my daughters caught it and could not participate in the half marathon with me today, so I had to do it myself! I knew it was going to be hard to be out there without my support system, Nicolette and Rachel, and I decided to go for it anyway. It was hard and I finished. This year I beat my time by about 20 minutes over last year! It's a great event and I will be back out there again next year!

Elk Grove home inventory - how does price range affect it?

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 08:06:26 -0800

How is Elk Grove home inventory affect by price range? We all know by now that inventory is way, way down and I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how price range affects the inventory in Elk Grove, CA.

Take a look at the graphs below.

Elk Grove CA inventory level for the last 6 years - price range over $750,000 - currently 4 months of inventory

Elk Grove CA inventory level for the last 6 years - price range $500,000 - $750,000 - currently 1.9 months of inventory

Elk Grove CA inventory level for the last 6 years - price range $400,000 - $500,000 - currently 2 months of inventory

Elk Grove CA inventory level for the last 6 years - price range $300,000 - $400,000 - currently .9 months of inventory or less than 1 month!

Elk Grove CA inventory level for the last 6 years - price range $200,000 - $300,000 - currently .6 months of inventory or approximately 2.5 weeks!

Elk Grove CA inventory level for the past 6 years - price range under $200,0000 - currently .5 months of inventory or 2 weeks!

So what does this mean? It means things are crazy right now! We are receiving multiple offers on our listings in regardless of price range! Keep in mind that inventory levels under 3 months reflect a true Seller's market, 3 to 6 months is a balanced market and over 6 months is a Buyer's market. Only over $750,000 are we in a balanced market! All other price ranges reflect a Seller's market. It means that now is a great time to sell your home! While inventory is low and we have many, many more buyers than we have houses to sell them, sellers are getting top dollar in a short amount of time!

Another ELK GROVE SHORT SALE sold and closed!

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:31:39 -0800

We have closed another Elk Grove Short Sale today!

This home is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom halfplex located at 9409 Ventry Court, Elk Grove 95758. We listed it for $130,000 on 10/25/12 and it went pending within 5 days at $133,000! The existing loan on this Elk Grove short sale was with Provident Funding and they were very good to work with. We actually were about to get approval from Provident Funding approximately 30 days after submitting the short sale package when the buyer lost his job! This meant putting it back on the market and finding a new buyer.

We found the next buyer within 2 days of putting it back on the market. These buyers were first time homebuyers and very, very excited about the home! We resubmitted the short sale package and received our approval. This time the buyer stuck and we just closed escrow.

When these homeowners came to us initially they were very nervous about the short sale process and whether or not they would qualify for this short sale as they had purchased another home. They had turned this home into a rental property; it was not cash flowing for them and was becoming a burden. We told them we felt strongly that the short sale would be approved and it was! It was such a great feeling when I was called them this afternoon to let them know this property will not be a burden on them any longer and they have avoided foreclosure! It was just as exciting for the buyers to be moving into their new home!

Are you aware that only HUD approved brokers/agents can show these homes and assist you if you are interested in making a bid on an Elk Grove HUD home? Many agents and brokerages in our area are not HUD approved, which means they can not show you HUD Owned homes for sale or write bids on them. And many HUD Owned homes are only available to owner occupants during the initial bidding process, so this could mean less competition for you as a home buyer.

To find out more about HUD Homes and the bidding process, call us today at (916) 405-5765. You may also want to check out HUDHomeStore.com for all the HUD owned homes for sale.

BOLD Tech Aha's

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:04:32 -0800

We had Chad Hyams of Keller Williams Realty here in Elk Grove, CA for BOLD Tech last week and I made promises that I would post my AHA's from it here on ActiveRain.

So here goes:

First, if you ever get a chance to attend BOLD Tech in your city or a city near you, make sure you do! It was well worth every cent I paid for it and the day I spent. And it was the second time I attended BOLD Tech. The first time I drove to Santa Cruz to attend - 3 hours away.

We discussed Websites, SEO, KPI, Traffic Sources, Paid internet advertising, Blogs, Video, Craigslist, and Social Media.

91% of homebuyers used the internet last year in their home search according to NAR.

Next, every agent needs 4 websites -

A hyper local blog
A buyer website
A seller website
A niche website

In 4 short years, we have gone from 23% of all adults using the internet to 81% using the internet.

You have to give buyers what they are looking for:

85% of buyer's are looking for photos.
81% of buyer's looking for detailed information.
58% of buyer's are looking for virtual tours
44% of buyers are looking for interactive maps

Content is king...we all know this one I think! However, I had not really put it into perspective that the reason they bounce is the content.

Link from 3 of our websites to our buyer website and don't link out from our buyer website to anywhere else.

77% of internet users read blogs.

Every blog should have one keyword - pick 1 key word phrase and use it 2% to 4% in your blog. It must be in the first sentence and the last sentence. Any guesses what my key word phrase is for this blog post?

You should have 3 links in every blog -

one to your IDX
one to your home page of your website
and one to somewhere else

Where should you blog? ActiveRain and Wordpress - I'm good here.

73% of sellers prefer to list with an agent that uses video.

Social Media is all about building relationships. "You don't have to be interesting, you have to be interested." - Jay Papasan

No one wants to be marketed to on social media.

28% of people are on Facebook before they get out of bed in the morning and the average consumer spends 55 minutes on FB every day.

Post your photos from your blog on FB first and then type your link into the comment section. It weighs heavier than if you post the blog directly to FB.

Make sure you use the 4 E's in your social media posts -

Enlightening
Educational
Enriching
Entertaining

And there was so much more! Including Chad Hyams sense of humor. You would think that technology for a whole day could get boring, but not with Chad...he kept us entertained all day!

You just have to go to BOLD Tech!

Elk Grove Short Sales - Get Paid to Sell the Home You Can’t Afford!

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 18:17:31 -0800

Elk Grove Short Sale sellers, does this sound like you? When the housing market crashed in 2008, millions of homeowners suddenly found themselves upside down in their mortgages and in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. To help these homeowners, in 2009 the U.S. Treasury launched the Making Home Affordable (MHA) program, which is comprised of several subprograms designed to help distressed homeowners avoid foreclosure.

One of the most talked about elements of the Mortgage Home Affordable program is the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program, or HAFA. The HAFA program creates options for homeowners who owe more on their mortgage than the property is worth and don’t know what to do. Even better, it allows relocation assistance of $3,000 to be paid to eligible homeowners in this situation. The Department of Treasury recently approved, in supplemental directive 12-07, that the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program, or HAFA, has been extended for another year through the end of 2013.

HAFA also helps the process go more quickly by mandating that banks keep in contact and make decisions in a timely fashion. To learn more, email us today at Info@modeanddurham.com for our free report entitled “Struggling to Make Your Mortgage? Uncle Sam May Pay You to Sell Your House!”

As a real estate professional with the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, we offer all of our clients the benefit of the best expertise and insights when it comes to foreclosure avoidance.

Elk Grove Short Sale sellers...Find Out How the Government’s HAFA Program Could Put Thousands of Dollars In Your Pocket to Eliminate Your Mortgage Debt!

Are you or someone you know facing foreclosure?

If so, you are not alone. Today, approximately 10 million homeowners are falling behind every month because of unmanageable mortgage payments. That is one out of every seven mortgages not being paid. Fortunately, struggling homeowners have more support than ever, as seen in the ongoing attention and improvement of programs such as HAFA from the federal government, as well as special support programs from state agencies and major banks.

You have options, and foreclosure doesn’t have to be one of them. So if you or someone you know is struggling with mortgage payments, contact us for a private consultation. It’s our mission to help as many homeowners as possible avoid foreclosure.

Are you eligible to complete an Elk Grove Short Sale? We have sold over 100 homes as Elk Grove Short Sales and can help you determine if you are eligible or not. Contact us today at (916) 405-5737 or go to our Elk Grove short sale website now and complete our form!
