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.

Elizabeth: I've yet to have the pleasure of listing a Wachovia short sale, but heard the best short sale story ever from a Wachovia listing. What made it so great? TWO DAYS for written approval.
Hey Chris Ann: I'm betting that if you're one who prays before bedtime that you're down your knees begging, God, please, please give me a Wachovia short sale listing! People may laugh, but it's totally true.
That is an UNBELIEVABLE price on that property! Some lucky buyer will be able to vacation without leaving home!
Can we have someone from Wachovia call Countrywide and tell them how to take care of a short sale?
Oh wow Elizabeth...will "you" take cash or is a check OK ? We don't have any folks with Wachovia here...gotta be an improvement over BOA hmmm ? Enjoy ~
