This question was posted well over a year ago, and there seems to be no follow-up to it. Did Amy from Bay Street find a good agent?

There are many great REALTORS in Lake County, ca. If you are a first time home buyer or looking for a vacation home and it is in the lower price range you need to have a realtor that works 24/7 for you. It is really important right now because the bank owned properties come on here and there and you need to be made aware of a listing that day to be able to look and write an offer if that is the home for you. I work with many buyers and they all have different wants and needs. I email/text call whatever it takes to get them the property information that they are looking for.

My suggestion is to let the realtor know what works best for you and make sure you touch base with them daily until you get the home you want.
Good luck

Lora Estabrook from Frank Howard Allen in Santa Rosa is by far the best real estate agent we have ever dealt with. She helped us through the entire process, and confronted and resolved problems as they arrose. She is from out of the area but SOOO worth it when it comes to the service and support she provides. We ended up with our dream home, and purchased it at a very good price. Give her a call at 707-326-2325 lestabrook@fhallen.com - you will be glad you did. She is our realtor for life!

Re: pre-foreclosed homes -- these are typically short-sale homes, which means that the Sellers are attempting to sell them before the house gets foreclosed by the bank. In these cases, the Seller might agree to a lower than normal offer, but it will be subject to final bank approval. The bank must then approve the sale, as they will net less than what is owed on the current loan. This can take quite a while, so be prepared for a long haul. However, the results can be phenomenal and deals can be had that might not otherwise be possible. Check out the TEAM GOLD website at: http://www.justlistedlakecounty.com . We do short sales all the time and have many listed currently.

I had the best experiance using Kathy Hunnicutt of Century 21.

Did I mention that Al LeSchack is also very modest?

Give me a call. I look at all Multiple listings services to keep you up to date on foreclosure listings and am in contact daily with the foreclosure listing agents. I have many listings in the community now and am very familiar. I am a 24/7 REALTOR.

Without a doubt, it is my friend and colleague, Al LeSchack, formerly of Prudential Middletown, now with CPS in Healdsburg, but still serving the HVL and Middletown areas. Warm, genuine, and knowledgable, he is a hard-working agent who will go to great lengths to make his customers and clients happy.

I personally a Tx Realtor but the best advice I can give you is to talk to a few Realtors and find an agent that comfortable as well as connect with. prior to interviewing an agent write a few key questions down to ask. For example if they have dealt with pre forclosed homes. Ask questions that are important to you. An agent who will happily spend a few min on the phone with you to answer and address your concerns is an agent who will put your needs first.

Hi Amy,

there are a lot of great agents handling the Hidden Valley Area, but I would love to refer you to an agent in the area if you will email me. I can announce you to the agent and then you can have her start working on what you are looking for right away. Looking forward to hearing from you. Jeri (jerilynnmeyer@mchsi.com)
