I don't know of any homeowners in Land Park who own a gun. I suspect that guns are sort of a rarity in this neighborhood. I don't own one, and I live in Land Park. None of my neighbors has a gun, I don't think. I'm not really gung ho on guns. Although I did have a bit of change of heart after reading Deer Hunting With Jesus. Or, at least I understand the need of some people to own guns.
But you go to a rural place like Galt, and lots of homeowners have guns. Heck, many homeowners in Galt are police officers.
An agent tried to enter a short sale listing of mine in Galt last night at 9 PM. This home is in escrow. The agent didn't call, either. This is wrong on so many levels. My seller almost shot the agent, too. She was home alone with young children when her door knob started to jiggle. That would freak me out, for sure.
What part of active short contingent doesn't an agent understand? How difficult is it to understand showing instructions that read: Call First, Lockbox? I sent the agent a printout from the Supra lockbox and notified the broker, too. That agent could have been killed!
Here is a short sale that is not yet contingent. And it's showing instructions are Call First, Lockbox. This means you can call the seller, leave a message and go. It doesn't mean call the agent, but you're always free to call me if you have questions or just want to hear the sound of my lovely voice. As an agent who specializes in selling homes in Land Park and throughout the Sacramento area, I am almost always available, and I answer my phone.
If you've always wanted to buy a home in Land Park but could not afford Land Park prices, this home is truly affordable. It needs a little bit of work. It could probably use a new roof or at least to repair the roof over the hallway where it leaks. If this were my home, I would gut the bath and remodel it. I remodeled my bath after tearing it down to the studs for about $15,000.
It has two bedrooms, 1 bath and hardwood floors mostly throughout. There is a breakfast nook in the kitchen. The family room has a fireplace. The back yard is enormous. It's a Certified Wildlife Habitat, with actual certification from the city of Sacramento. This is the type of neighborhood where the neighbors all know each other. And it's situated very close to the railroad tracks, which some people love and some people could pass on.
2137 Bidwell Way, Sacramento, CA 95818, is offered exclusively by Lyon Real Estate as a short sale at $150,000. For more information, call your Land Park Agent, Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916 233 6759. For a private showing, call Linda Swanson at 916 607 0111.
