The owner of this home would consider taking in property on trade. If you are looking to trade up, this is a great opportunity. Call me for a private tour.

That's what I seem to hear from everyone. It's hard to believe this large of a home feels so cozy! It has a very warm feel throughout the entire home. It's beautifully decorated also. I'm sure the owner would consider selling it furnished.

I visited the Rutenburg home at Grande Pointe also. I feel the Rutenburg home is overpriced. It is a very nice neighborhood though. I see that there are 2 short sales in there right now at really good pricing. If I could move a piece of property, I would consider buying one. I think they have some upside.

When you add the 5-10% Rutenberg fee to homes, that doesn't help. I felt the same, it was overpriced and the funny thing was, it had very little Rutenberg curb appeal. I'm not a Rutenberg fan, btw althought their new "coastal line" is semi-OK.

What was interesting is that they invited Ram, my Hubby, over to make suggestions on how to move the property. It was in its final punch-out, not exactly the best timing. :confused: Ram is a computer-technical magician, he fixed my vibrator in less than a minute! :clap:

Ram said Grand Pointe wasn't so grand just another inland community with lots heaped on top of each other. I love it when he talks like that! :blush:

Sheep,
I dont think you can call Ram a computer-technical magician for running to WalMart and replacing batteries.
Now if he can also get it to double as TV remote control. I will be impressed.

What property are you trying to move?

Josh has now received a verbal commitment on THIS PROPERTY. Looks like I might have to move from here. Oh well, I enjoyed it for a while. This was definately one of the best Bay buys. We did have to work on some creative ways to move the property. It looks like I will be taking on a condo in on trade. I need a condo like I need a hole in my head. But you have to do what you have to do.
The property is not supposed to close until April 10th. So, lets keep our fingers crossed.

I see that the listing was listed as pending, yesterday, but was supposed to close on April 10th. Did it sell, or was the contract extended?
