After twice negotiating with 3 short sale lenders, dealing with 2 very uncooperative downstairs neighbors (big part of the delay), 2 escrows falling out, a overall price reduction of $100K, & 2 foreclosure date extensions…the sun breaks through the clouds! In comes a ALL CASH buyer, with quick 7 day close!
This deal was technically “dead” as of 12/31/12 BUT I was able to convince the seller to try one more time at a short sale. It wasn’t easy and this wasn’t a deal for an amateur. I was told that the City of Oakland was a hard nut to crack and it’s near impossible to get all three lender’s to agree to a short sale…oh really…
I’m am so very elated to say that this home is FINALLY SOLD!
Congratulations Naomi & Cheryl.

Thank goodness there are sellers out there willing to look at the big picture when accepting an offer, even if the offer isn’t necessarily the “highest” or even maybe the strongest. Instead, they just do the right thing by helping someone who served our country proudly….

We just got yet another buyer into contract today for a beautiful town home in the Hayward hills…this is her first home purchase, so it is all very exciting for her and us!

We just got yet another buyer into contract today for a beautiful town home in the Hayward hills…this is her first home purchase, so it is all very exciting for her and us!
Even though it is a seller’s market, we continue to have success for our buyers! Another first time buyer closes escrow early next week, and another of our first time buyer clients closed just a few days ago, all right here in Hayward…it can be done!
We absolutely love working with first time buyers…what could be more fulfilling than helping someone purchase their first home. It’s an experience they (nor we) will ever forget!

Did you know that here in Hayward we have had less than one month’s inventory of single family homes for over 12 months? What does this mean? That there are significantly more buyers than sellers right now, fueling price increases that haven’t been seen since 2006. Why is this important information? If you are thinking ... [Read More]
Did you know that here in Hayward we have had less than one month’s inventory of single family homes for over 12 months? What does this mean? That there are significantly more buyers than sellers right now, fueling price increases that haven’t been seen since 2006.
Why is this important information? If you are thinking of selling, strike while the iron is hot…if the past is any indicator of the future, then this market condition will equalize before we realize it, and sales will level off. Time to hop on if you are thinking of making a move in the next few months.
