Sierra Oaks Neighborhood in Sacramento

Sierra Oaks is centrally located in Sacramento and includes a consistent blend of nice to luxury homes.  Although I have seen a few fixers for less than $500,000 you can expect to pay $550,000-$700,000 for a typical home in the area and over $1,000,000 for the best this neighborhood has to offer!  Neighborhood highlights include access to the American River bike trail, easy freeway access, and a friendly park that all your little ones will enjoy.  It’s close to fabulous shopping at Pavilions and Loehmann’s Plaza with great restaurants like Bandera, Roxy, Ruth Chris, and Piatti.  Love tennis? You’d love Rio Del Oro Racquet Club.  It’s also home to highly ranked Sierra Oaks Elementary School.

Check out my pictures for a typical Sierra Oaks home and the neighborhood park.

Chase Bank Offers $25,000 Short Sale Incentive – Sacramento Short Sale Agent Allan Sanchez

Chase Bank Offers $25,000 Short Sale Incentive - Short Sale Agent Allan Sanchez

A couple months ago, I got a call from a man wanting to short sale his Sacramento home. He had just been contacted by his lender, Chase, with a letter stating he may be eligible to receive up to $25,000 if he short sales his home.  WHAT???  I’ve been a short sale specialist since the recession started but I have NEVER heard of a bank offering a borrower anywhere near that amount of money to short sale their home.

I asked for a copy of the letter from Chase which the borrower promptly provided. Here are the important points:

  • “Upon the sale of your home, you will owe nothing more and will receive $25,000 to make a fresh start.”
  • Choose a real estate agent who has experience selling short sales.
  • List your home at fair market value.
  • Send in your listing agreement,
  • “Remember, we are committed to helping you avoid foreclosure and make a new start.  Contact a real estate professional today and return the signed listing agreement.”

The letter from Chase certainly looked legit. But I admit, I was a bit skeptical.  I had never heard of this Chase short sale incentive and didn’t want to over-promise the seller.  We decided to give it a shot and hope for the best.

I listed his Sacramento home and got an offer within a couple weeks. I followed Chase’s short sale process, submitted all required paperwork, and checked in with Chase regularly to make sure the short sale was moving along.

Last Friday, I got the letter all short sale agents wait for….an approval! An approval is exciting enough, but I was dying to know….what about the $25,000 short sale incentive from Chase?

Then I saw it, the $25,000 Chase short sale incentive was approved! It will be placed on the HUD and payed at the close of escrow.  WOW!  Chase truly is doing it’s part to avoid foreclosure and pump some money into the economy. The icing on the cake is that this short sale is also a HAFA short sale.  HAFA is throwing in it’s typical $3,000 for a total of $28,000!

I still don’t know how this seller qualified for Chase’s $25,000 short sale incentive and why others don’t. Still, the incentive is real and if you are considering a Chase short sale, it is worth looking into.

See if you qualify for a Sacramento area short sale.

East Sacramento Real Estate Agent Allan Sanchez

East Sacramento is a favorite to most because of its older custom homes, tree lined streets, well maintained and popular parks, and proximity to downtown Sacramento.  As an East Sacramento real estate agent for the last 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of showings and selling many East Sacramento homes.

East Sacramento real estate is very different from real estate in surrounding areas.  First, the price per square foot in East Sacramento is the highest in the Sacramento area.  Buyers looking in East Sac are looking for charm and character that other neighborhoods don’t have.  They are willing to sacrifice large square footage and closets for real brick exteriors and wood-burning fireplaces. 

Search homes for sale in East Sacramento or find out the value of your East Sacramento home.   

Here are just a few of the homes sold by East Sacramento real estate agent Allan Sanchez:

This McKinley Park home on 34th Street had 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and great potential.  The new owners have given it an updated look while maintaining its original charm.

This 2 bedroom on 42nd Street was in need of a makeover.  It sure got one from its first time home buyers and the help of HGTV’s House Crashers show!
