Anatolia Real Estate Agent - Just SOLD by Allan Sanchez

Here is my newest SOLD home in Anatolia - Rancho Cordova. 11745 Azalea Garden Way closed today for $240,000! It was in great condition with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3 car garage, 2,347 square feet, and large quarter acre lot. My clients are very excited to move in and enjoy this home as well as the awesome clubhouse Anatolia offers its residence.

Anatolia was mostly built in 2005 and 2006. Just like everywhere else, prices have decreased substantially. The prices in Anatolia have fallen about 65% since the peak of the market. For that reason, most homes in Anatolia are short sales, bank-owned homes, or investors who have rehabbed and are flipping the property back on the market.

If you are a buyer, looking in the Rancho Cordova area, you should consider Anatolia. Not only are prices low but you get a lot more for your money than most other neighborhoods. Also, homes are newer and less maintenance than some of the older areas in Rancho Cordova.

See if you qualify to short sale your Anatolia home.

Anatolia Real Estate Agent - Just SOLD by Allan Sanchez

There are days I suspect I'd be better off if I did not answer my phone. I know I'd get more work done instead of pacing the floor as I speak. I can't just sit in my chair and talk. I don't know why.

I must be mobile and moving. It helps me to focus. Or, maybe it's just my passion for Sacramento short sales coupled with the injustice I see in banking corporate systems -- the way they treat their customers -- that causes the need for constant movement when talking.

Beats banging my head back and forth in the doorway.

But I also get my share of odd calls. An agent called yesterday about a pending short sale transaction. She and her buyer had completed a final walk-through. She called me because the door between the garage and the house was unlocked. I asked her to leave it unlocked because that's how the seller gains access. He doesn't have a key. Like many sellers.

This agent was very concerned and upset. She demanded that the seller get a key or otherwise resolve the "dangerous" situation. Hey, he's been leaving that door unlocked for 6 months. I had to remind her that this is not the buyer's home. It belongs to the seller. The seller makes the rules. The rule is the door stays unlocked. Seller's home. Seller's insurance policy. Seller calls the shots.

If you're a security-conscious buyer, though, you will love this new short sale listing in Rancho Cordova. It is nestled in a row of homes that sit vertical to the main street. It's a few doors down from the road, which means it has a shared road. But it's tucked away off the main drag and sheltered between two other homes.

Welcome to the Alexander Collection in Rancho Cordova. I've sold several other homes in this subdivison recently. Many are foreclosures or short sales available at bargain prices, slashed from their original price tags. It's an excellent time to buy in Rancho Cordova.

This home is just shy of 2,000 square feet. It's a two-story with a balcony off the second-floor master suite. The front of the home features half-timbering and a stone entrance. Very pretty curb appeal. In case you're wondering, the door is locked between the house and the garage.

You've got 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Enter into the living room, with an outside corner fireplace and a formal dining area. There is also a large breakfast nook in the kitchen. Tumbled stone ceramic counters, an island with a sink, ceramic floor and stainless appliances in the kitchen as well. The kitchen is open to the family room.

I received two short sale approval letters yesterday. These were both preapproved HAFA short sales that Bank of America had farmed out to AMS Loan Servicing. They were approved for HAFA in June, sold in June and sat at AMS since then. The way they were handled seemed as though the negotiators would open the file and try to figure out what they could do to stop from having to work on it.

If they could ask for a tiny revision, they could close the file. That would free up their time so they go back to Facebook to chat with their friends or maybe upload photos of their husbands posing with showgirls in Las Vegas. So, they might ask for us to change the verbiage for the seller's incentive to seller's relocation. Then, the following month, they could ask us to change it back to seller's incentive. Yeah, that's the ticket. After all, they graduated from high school. They know what they're doing.

Thank goodness for the HAFA escalation team at AMS. If only the AMS HAFA escalation team could handle all of Bank of America's short sales. But this Sacramento short sale agent knows that's gonna happen when pigs fly.

Here is a new short sale in Rancho Cordova that is not a HAFA short sale. This is a home in Anatolia in Rancho Cordova. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. It was built by U.S. Homes in 2006, so it's somewhat newer construction.

The kitchen is open to the family room and is quite large. There is space for a kitchen table in a breakfast nook area, but the sellers have opted for extra storage. The cabinets are moveable and therefore not fixtures. But you could buy extra cabinets just like those from Ikea. After all, you do have dining space in a formal area off the kitchen, so you don't really need a breakfast nook.

The entry to this home is dramatic. You can't quite tell from my photo of the front yard, but there are two columns, one on each side of the door. None of the other homes on this block has columns flanking the front door. Makes it rather unique.

In the back yard, you'll find a concrete patio and a built-in bench and arbor, designed and custom made. There is enough room for a patio table and chairs, too. Best of all, though, is the price. It's very affordable and priced well, subject to bank approval.

11828 Stoney Ridge Way, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742, is offered exclusively by Lyon Real Estate as a short sale at $166,320. For more information, call your Sacramento short sale agent, Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916 233 6759. For a private showing, call Barbara Dow, at 916 761 7398.

Whenever you think you've got it rough, you don't have to look very far to find somebody else who has it worse by comparison. It's all in your perspective. Of course, if you live in Sacramento, you'll find plenty of unemployed people, my journalist husband included. If you live in Detroit, where our nation's foreclosure rate soars, you could be like Detroit homeowner Texana Hollis. She's 101, and just got thrown out of her home of 58 years, evicted, with all of her belongings dumped in the street like garbage.

Her son apparently did her in by taking out a reverse mortgage and defaulting on the property taxes. Just didn't pay the taxes and threw away the foreclosure notices because he didn't want to worry his mom. This is wrong on so many levels. What is wrong with people?

I drove by a store on Watt Avenue yesterday that I can't believe exists. There is an entire store of La-Z-Boy recliners for sale in Sacramento. A whole store devoted to selling pieces of furniture in which consumers can plant their oversized butts to watch television. In my day, we sat our butts on the lovely green shag carpeting to watch TV, and we liked it. We didn't mind getting up to change the channels. Today, we want to send Rosie the Robot to fetch our beer from the fridge.

See, this is what's wrong with people. Our priorities are twisted.

We need to go bike-riding. If you want to move to an area where you can actually ride that bicycle that's hanging up in your mom's garage with a flat tire, have you considered Rancho Cordova? Here's a home not far from the American River that you can buy at an affordable price. It's a short sale in Rancho Cordova. As a Sacramento short sale agent, this is what I do. I list and sell short sales in Sacramento.

This home has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. An outstanding feature, apart from its contemporary and clean design lines, is the master suite. That room is enormous. It's so big it has a couple of small knee walls to separate the office part of the room from the bedroom. Yup, it has a built-in desk and shelves right in the master suite, so you can never be more than 5 feet away from your computer and the wonderful world of the Internet. Where all the magic happens.

The master suite wouldn't be the master suite without its own bath. You've got one room for the vanity and double sinks, backed by a wall of mirrors, and another room for the shower. You can instantly tell when you look in the mirror in the morning if you look like you were out too late the night before.

This room is also located at the back of the home with exterior access. This way, if you have a roommate who is up late watching TV, sitting in that La-Z-Boy recliner, you probably won't hear the television set.

The kitchen has an open pass through to the dining room, but who needs the dining room when you can eat in your La-Z-Boy recliner?

In the back yard, you'll find a covered patio and a spa. The spa might or might not work. There is also a two-car garage, and central heat and air.

11169 Kings River Court, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670, is offered exclusively by Lyon Real Estate as a short sale at $185,000. For more information, call your Sacramento short sale agent, Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916 233 6759. For a private showing, call Barbara Dow at 916 761 7398.
