Laguna West House for Sale...My Home!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Retired

About 13 years ago, I heard our doorbell wring.  It was our neighbor at the time.  He told me that he had got himself in a bit of a pickle.  He had put offers on two different short sales and they both were accepted.  He wondered, since I was a real estate agent, if I knew someone that would like to buy one of the two.  "Yes, I do!"  I answered to his surprise. 

We added granite counter tops and painted the place, then rented the house out for about 9 years to a wonderful tenant.   When she decided to move out, we decided to sell our home and move into the rental.  It was a part of our tax saving strategy.  If you live in a home 2 of 5 years, capital gains taxes are exempt up to $500,000 and you can do it more than once.

We have been in the house for 3 years now and so it is time to sell.  Our home is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 1,686 square feet and there is a pool.   You will see there are a lot of upgrades in the video below.

I would love to show you our home.  Give me a call (916-698-8414) or come to one of my open houses.

  • Saturday, 4/30/22-1pm to 4pm
  • Sunday, 5/01/22-10am to 1pm

Listing Price $650,000.

Thank you very much, Nina Hollander, Broker.  It would be fun to get a bazillion offers.  I have only received a half a bazillion in the past and it would be a new record for me.  I will settle for two or three solid offers, though, especially if they are sent in a NY minute.  😃

Thank you so much, Roy Kelley.  Have a wonderful weekend!

I sure hope so and think so, Brian England.  If you were closer, I would invite you to help me at the open houses.  I need to see how a real veteran does it.  Thank you and I hope to see you soon!

Hello Raymond, your home is beautiful. No doubt you will get multiple offers and it will sell for much more than the list price.  Big changes are on the horizon.  All the best to you and your family.

Thank you so much, Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist.  For a guy that was born in Stockton and has never lived more that about 45 miles from Stockton, it is a big move.  We are excited!

Thank you, Kathy Streib.  Every time I look in the mirror, I tell the seller to watch his P's and Q's!  He is a stubborn one, though!
