Woodside Glens, Woodside
Karen and her brother had shared their family home in Woodside Glens for decades. One spring, they realized they needed to sell, quickly. Karen had already found her next home near Placerville.
The house needed substantial structural and cosmetic repairs. Selling it as-is would have limited the buyer pool, because lenders won't finance a home that is under construction or not up to code. And paying for the work would have drained her savings.
Chris met with Karen the day after her first call. He scoped the work, estimated it at $25,000, and connected her with a private lender for short-term financing, so she didn't have to touch her savings.
Two days later, a crew was at work: plaster, paint and new carpet. Before the house was even listed, Chris put up a Coming Soon sign.
Two good offers arrived within two days. Chris walked Karen through both, including a complicated contingent offer, and helped her choose the most financially stable buyer. Escrow closed less than two months after her first call. The repairs came in at $22,000, under budget.
