I just represented the buyers on the sale of this UNIQUE property in the wonderful neighborhood of Shelfield in Carmichael.  This mid century modern property was designed by John Harvey Carter.  In the 8 years i've been a full time Realtor in the Sacramento area, I've never seen a property quite like this one.  It is truly one of a kind.  Unfortunately, the property had been neglected for a few years so my clients have the fun challenge of bringing this property back to life with updating and remodeling.  Cool property with straight lines everywhere, tons of windows/natural light, lots of wood, flat roof and cement floor in the living area. 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2,700 square feet, almost half an acre lot with a pool. 06/27/2013

  Do You Do Apartment Rehabs in Sacramento?   Yes, we have been working on interior and exterior repairs and restorations for apartment owners and managers for decades. 80 – 90 % of our work is in apartment communities in the Sacramento area. If you have a small project that needs to be done or an entire apartment complex in Sacramento, we can help. Apartment rehabs can be done in different ways. Some communities chose to rehab units as the units become vacant. Depending on the size and turnover rate, this can take several years to complete. We have been called in to wrap up some units to complete the rehab in some cases. Depending on the extent of work inside a unit, some complexes will give notice of work to be done a building at a time. We can get into these units and wrap things up ... 05/30/2013

Carmichael Short Sale / 5616 Cypress Ave. / Short Sale Specialist Our latest closed Carmichael Short Sale is 5626 Cypress Ave. This IndyMac/One West Bank serviced property was worrisome to say the least. With an incorporative tenant and losing 2 previous investor buyers due to inspections we began to get a little worried. So we put on our never give up gloves and took action. We got a third and final buyer and reached approval in 14 days and closed in just 28! By putting in the time and commitment and not letting the tenants get the best of us, we saved our client $350,000 in debt.

  JUST SOLD 5/3/2013!!! in Carmichael.  I represented the sellers of this beautiful home.  When my photographer (Valado Mori, 916-595-6162) showed up at the house for the photo shoot, he asked me who did the staging?? I laughed and said, no one.  This is how amazing my clients keep their house.  The home showed extremely well, the photos turned out great and we hit the market with a full marketing blast.  We gave buyers one week to view the house and submit offers.  When it was all said and done we received 5 offers and negotiated the price to $293,900, almost $10,000 above the list price.  A very smooth transaction due to great condition of the house.

  Is That a Water Heater in Your Bedroom Closet?   I got an opportunity to look at a vacant apartment unit in the Carmichael, CA area today. Though I went to look at the exterior siding that was rotted, I got a chance to view to inside that had been altered a bit in the past. The original two bedroom unit was transformed into a three bedroom by grabbing a bedroom from the adjoining unit; the remainder of that unit was converted into an office. To get to this extra bedroom you have to walk through a closet with the back wall removed. So the only access to the bedroom is through another bedroom; good way to find out when your kids get home I guess. Besides the strange layout, there was something that just didn’t look right in that extra bedroom. Though the entire property is on a boiler s... 02/13/2013

  How Does Your Maintenance Shop Look? I had to do some things over at an apartment complex in Carmichael, CA. I had to get to the boiler to shut down the water for a repair, and was told that the boiler room was in the back of the maintenance shop. No problem, I got a key and headed for the shop. The property recently got rid of their maintenance guy because he wasn’t very good. It looks like he wasn’t very organized either. I made it to the boiler room unharmed.   01/29/2013

  Is Your Sacramento Vinyl Flooring Turning Black?   Often times we will see vinyl flooring turning black and showing through, usually this will happen near a source of water. Vinyl flooring around toilets and tubs is a prime location for this sort of discoloration. Water leaks and gets under the solid surface and accumulates underneath. This happens a lot, but what if there is no immediate source of water nearby? Why would flooring have discoloration in the middle of the room? The answer is not always easy to determine but the problem will continue until it is resolved. Moisture may be seeping up through the concrete slab through a crack or have a severely moist spot where moisture is being absorbed into the vinyl flooring. There are several possibilities and many different solutions t... 01/25/2013

That Drip Coming From Your Window May Be A Sign Of A Bigger Problem.   How many times have you had that little drop of water inside your window during a rain? Water damage to wood framing can result from that water that drips down to the window sill, or runs down the inside of the window from inside the sheetrock above. Do you wonder where that water leak is coming from? That is the important question, until the source of the water can be found and corrected, the problem will only get worse. The leak will get worse and there will be more water damage within the wall. This water damage can easily lead to mold and mildew on the sheetrock, insulation, and wall framing. Wood rot will usually be a part of the damage. A visual inspection of the exterior is a good start to detecting a leak. O... 12/21/2012

Carmichael Short Sale / 4924 Heatherdale / Short Sale Specialist Our latest approved Carmichael Short Sale is located at 4924 Heatherdale. Our challenge here was it was a Bank of America first, no second but as we were accepting an offer and initiating the Carmichael Short Sale the loan was sold to Ocwen. Now many have heard me say lately that Ocwen is my new favorite Short Sale Lender and this was another case of Ocwen being great to work with.

I'm such a sucker for a short sale happy ending. It's what makes doing my job worthwhile. I love calling my sellers toward the end of the day to tell them their short sale has closed. I get notices in the morning from title to let me know, for example, that a loan has funded. Once a loan has funded, barring unforeseen circumstances, that short sale is going to close escrow. We just closed a Carmichael short sale that had been a long emotional road for sellers. They struggled for months about whether to sell as a short sale, and foreclosure was coming up in a month or so. Read more about Can This Carmichael Short Sale Be Saved? 08/24/2012

  Can I get grab bars installed in my Sacramento shower?   There is a growing demand for the installation of grab bars in and around tubs and showers in Sacramento. Grab bars can be installed to help those that have difficulties getting in a tub or shower. Having something secure to hold on to while stepping into a tub can help to prevent injury in a slippery environment. Important points to remember when installing grab bars in tubs and showers. Mount the grab bars at an appropriate height – check with your local building department for suggested heights. It is ideal to mount the bars to framing members of the wall – try to hit the studs. Keep the water inside – No matter what the walls are made of, you will be drilling several holes in the wall – apply a good quality caulking at each ... 08/15/2012
