Some people get out of bed in the morning and say they wish they didn't have to go to work. Other people say they wish they had a job. When I wake up, I say, "I'd like nothing better than to list a Wachovia short sale today." Well, yesterday, my wishes were granted.
There is a silver lining in being a Sacramento short sale agent. That bright light is Wachovia. This is a bank that has its short sale department primed and ready to process the transaction. Unlike some short sale banks -- those that lose paperwork, shred files and cause massive delays -- many approvals from Wachovia are issued within 2 to 3 weeks of receipt.
Here is a ground floor opportunity for first-time home buyers in Sacramento. This home is an upper-floor corner unit. It has a balcony that offers an expansive view of the Bella Rose complex; you can see almost everything that goes on from this location. It's a one-bedroom, one-bath condo, with an open floor plan.
The kitchen and bath have granite counters. In the bedroom, the seller has installed a super cool ceiling fan. The refrigerator and washer and dryer stay with the home. It's in impeccable condition, plus this condo comes with 2 parking spaces. Close to shopping, restaurants and the freeways. Minutes to downtown Sacramento.
The HOA dues are $253, which include a flood insurance premium. You have a clubhouse and a pool. But best of all is the price. This 2004 home is for sale at $63,000, although I would not be surprised to see it sell for more. One lender. Wahovia.
4200 East Commerce Way, #122, Sacramento, CA 95834
Offered Exclusively by Lyon Real Estate at $63,000, subject to lender approval.
