Hi Luckyy,

I relocated to the Rocklin Area as well from the Bay Area, I would suggest you interview a few different agents to determine your comfort level. I have been living in the Rocklin Area for over 13 years and have experienced all of the growth with the Whitney Ranch community as well as Whitney Oaks. Please feel free to contact me either via email or on my cellular phone. My best interest is with my clients. Best of Luck...Connie 916-295-9671

PS. Have you discussed the Association dues in Whitney Ranch with the builder?

Luckyy,
I wish you the best of luck finding a home in Rocklin. If you are going to make offers on Short Sales, I'm your gal. I hope you would consider interviewing me. Thanks.

Hi Luckyy,
I just got an offer from WLH in Whitney Ranch I think that might interest you regarding your move. Give me a call if you have time.
Thanks
Rob

First of all, what brings you to Rocklin? Do you have family, friends, work or is it the schools? I actually have the patience of a saint or so I've heard....I never actually met a saint. If you can appreciate life and laughter I would love to assist you in your search. Best of luck...luckyy!

I should say you are "Luckyy" - look at all the knowledgeable agents ready to help you! Anna

I've got experience in Whitney Ranch and can help you if you haven't already chosen an agent to work with. My site http://www.sacramentorealestateviews.com

has updated information on some of the builders in Whitney Ranch...
Here is a link to my most recent article about new home builders in the Rocklin/Roseville area.

and another about Lennar in Westpark.

Please let me know if I may help you.

Luckyy,
You will never have to drive 300 miles just for one signature. After your initial contract is signed and the deposit is taken, most signatures can be done by fax. As a Resident and Realtor in Whitney Ranch, I know the area well. I have sold many homes in the community, and I am available to assist you in your home purchase. Contrary to what many people think, inventory is very low. The bank owned homes are no longer flooding the market, and builders are releasing much less inventory. There continues to be demand, therefore, we are experiencing less negotiation than we have in the past. Some builders are more reluctant than others to negotiate, and I am happy to share that information with you.
Best of luck. Amy Wall

Hi Luckyy,

Have you been to Whitney Ranch to see the homes yet? It is a beautiful part of Rocklin. I have toured the Shea Models as well as other builders in Whitney Ranch and in a competing development - WestPark in Roseville.
I would love to help you purchase a new home via long distance. I have worked with several hundred buyers over many years, many of them at long distances.

It is recommended that you see the property, accompanied by the agent you choose to represent you, prior to closing escrow.

I do not ask my buyer clients to sign an exclusive buyer broker contract. This also gives me the freedom to release the occasional client that is unrealistic and unteachable. The builder, however, will require you to register with your agent as designated representative. The agent will not be recognized by the builder unless this is done, and done early in the house shopping sequence. So while the BBA is optional, some form of written acknowledgment is required in order for your agent to be paid.

Getting signatures is the easy part. Facsimile is usually an accepted part of a real estate transaction for many documents. When a live signature is required, notary service can be arranged to meet you at your home or office.

I love to travel to the Bay Area ( I grew up there) when I have business there.
I traveled to the Bay Area often in the nineties to sign contracts.Nowadays with electronic signatures it is less common, though still an option.

I will have my cell phone with me today, or call me at home, or email me.

Sunnyvale!!! I used to work at AT&T in Sunnyvale :)

I am available to negotiate on your behalf as well as support you through the home buying process:) Most people do not realize that you can be represented by a local Realtor vs. just working with the new home sales agent. I actively work El Dorado, Placer and Sacramento Counties and looking forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Michelle Thompson
