THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill
OPT OUT…You’ll be glad you did. In a recent conversation with Wells Fargo’s John King, I learned an interesting fact. John was working on improving my Buyers’ credit score. He explained that, although the “prescreening” inquiries that show up on your credit report aren’t supposed to impact your FICO score….they often do. He advised my clients to go to OptOutPrescreen.com and “opt out” of the prescreening/preapproval process.
I KNOW this will not appeal to you if you ENJOY receiving a regular slug of “You’ve Been Pre-Approved” junk mail from credit card companies, but if you enjoy that you probably like root canals too. If the idea of ending that madness appeals to you, do it now. It takes less than five minutes. No computer? No problem. Call 888-567-8688 (toll free). You’re welcome. Glad to be of service.
DOUBLE-WHAMMY: CONGRATULATIONS to two of Statesman Realty’s finest (Sherry Dickhoff and Greg Adams) on another successful closing. Sherry represented the Sellers, and Greg brought the Buyers to this transaction. Satisfied clients all around! Soft real estate market? WHAT soft market? These two Realtors are doing very well, thank you.
PRICE REDUCED: 688 Cardoso Court in Galt was a value before. Now, at the new price of $379,950, it’s even better! Just look at these benefits: Fresh interior with recent upgrades! Oversized lot (landscaped front and back)! Three-car garage with DRIVE-THROUGH (another garage door at rear of garage) to backyard concrete pad! Perfect for boat or classic car or whatever! Call for a private showing.
OPEN TODAY from 12 to 2 p.m.: 1921 Edgewood Court! Lakewood schools! Quarter-acre landscaped lot with fruit trees, grapes, berries, more!! Possible RV parking! 1791 square feet of comfortable home with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, upgraded kitchen and more! $439,950! Statesman’s Mark Edwards had such a great turnout at this home last week that he’s set up a repeat performance. Then from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Mark will host 253 Hartford Drive! Here’s another great value: 1484 square feet with indoor laundry, spacious covered patio, numerous fruit trees, washer, dryer, refrigerator, and freezer. All this and more for $409,950!
PRICE REDUCED (See a pattern here?): 219 Cedarwood Court is better than brand-new. My Sellers have given this two-year-old home tender care: Tasteful landscaping front and back with separate timed sprinkler systems! 2242 square feet of charming two-story home with FOUR bedrooms, two and a half baths. Laundry Room! Custom window treatments. Walk-in pantry, too! This is a turn-key home. Nothing to do but move right in! And at the new price of $479,950 someone will soon do just that. Is it you?
PRICE REDUCED: WELCOME to Lodi’s BEST VALUE in an entry-level home! 1706 South Church Street has a list of benefits that goes on and on: Newer central heat and air system! Newer vinyl-clad dual-pane windows throughout (bathroom window’s on the way)! Large two-car garage! Upgraded electrical! Approximately four-year-old composition roof! The big stuff is recently completed on this one. All this and more for…$299,999? If you hurry.
Gotta go! Another Buyer appointment. This real estate market is GREAT! It takes more expertise to get homes SOLD, but our little office is busy and happy. THANK YOU to all those who make it happen! You are appreciated. See you next Sat.
