Just a few things....

Wednesday, January 9, 2008

Wow, we have things to report. Most important I’d like to welcome our newest Realtor to MagnumOne Realty, Kara Green. Kara is a brand new Realtor who we are very excited about. She has lived here in the Sacramento area for almost her entire life and has a large and diverse circle of friends and family. She is bright and outgoing and we believe will be a great addition to the MagnumOne Realty team. We have not had a chance to build a webpage for Kara but hope to have one completed by early next week.

Second, we have price reductions on two of our listings. The asking price on our Paizano Court listing in Roseville has been reduced from $850,000 to $799,900. Clearly this is a significant reduction and brings this wonderful former JTS model home with scads of upgrades into the bargain category. This is a lot of house for the price. We also added some great new pictures of this home.

On a showing scale, our listing on Tanus Circle in Rocklin ranks up there with the best we have ever marketed. This home is beautifully decorated, has all the right upgrades and is easy to feel like you could live there. We have just refreshed this listing with a new asking price of $594,000. It is time for a new family for this house and it should happen soon.

This past week, I had another interesting experience with an agent representing a home in Loomis that some clients of mine are interested in. The home is marketed as being on over 3 acres but the tax records indicate a lot size much smaller so I called the agent to get some clarification. Read about this surprising conversation in my weekly column over at Rocklin & Roseville Today. Bad real estate agents are not good for the industry or the clients they serve and if there is any good that will come from this slower real estate market it will be that some of these will be working at Wal-Mart as greeters in the next year.
