Testimonials
"“This is to attest to the courteous, competent, and complete professional service received from Vickie Nagy in completion of my real estate transaction in the fall of 2006. This began with Vickie professionally determining what kind of properties we were interested in and picking us up to show us several listings. During this time she also gave an excellent guided tour of the area. Rather than just closing the sale on the property we chose, she pointed out all of the pros and cons and waited patiently for our decision. There was never a feeling of being pushed or rushed, which was greatly appreciated. During the negotiation she provided strong professional guidance, being sure that we were getting what we thought was an excellent buy. We felt like she was a true partner! After the contract, she nurtured the deal through some difficulties and was the main force in holding things together when things appeared to be doomed at the 11th hour. We found Vickie to be not only the epitome of professional competence in the business of realty, but also outstanding in the personal relations of leading neophytes through that maze. From alpha to omega, each different area appeared to be her strength, I am pleased to give Vickie the highest recommendation there is!”"

Remy Chan, Home Buyer in San Ramon, CA

We are currently looking for an agent with good negotiation skills in the Gale Ranch area to sell our home.

Asked Sat Jun 7 2008, 12:29 by Remy Chan  -  Home Selling in 94582  -  9 answers
Vickie Nagy answered:
Hello Remy,

Rather than focus on commission, I would suggest you focus on results. The value of getting where you need to be, sooner rather than later, can overcome any benefit of paying a reduced commission. The old adage is true, you generally get what you pay for...and you want to pay for results.

As you well know, a skilled negotiator can save you money by negotiating the fine points of the transaction. I'd love to speak with you further. Meanwhile, please check out my website at http://www.BestTriValleyHomes.com and my blogs at http://www.VickieSellsHomes.com. I think you will find that I am a local resource that merits an appointment.

All the best,
Vickie Nagy

Vijay, Home Buyer in San Ramon, CA

What will be impact of having San Ramon City Center project on 94582 house prices?

Asked Fri May 30 2008, 15:10 by Vijay  -  Shopping & Local Amenities in 94582  -  8 answers
Vickie Nagy answered:
Hello Vijay!

Thanks for asking an astute question. Although we are unable as real estate agents to provide a professional opinion as to the future value of a property (it's unethical as we really can't know for sure), I will share some insight on future conditions and how it relates.

I ALREADY have buyers that are looking to purchase close to the new city center. These are people who want the comfortable lifestyle of the idyllic neighborhoods iike NewCastle in San Ramon, but want to be able to walk to urban areas offering shopping, dining and events.

When it comes to actual valuation, west side Danville properties are generally higher priced, escpecially when they are within walking distance to downtown Danville. Ditto, Alamo. The indicators are there to say those homes in closest proximity have the potential to increase the most.

That being said, San Ramon as a whole should benefit. We have awesome schools, but are missing the character of a city by our lack of an urban center. Our city planners have been working diligently to come up with the right mix of buildings and magnet businesses. Once our urban area is up and running, San Ramon will have it all...jobs (think 9 million square feet of offices in Bishop Ranch), great schools and an identity! - Fri May 30 2008, 16:05
Raj, Home Buyer in Bay Street Viaduct A...

what is the average rate per sq feet in san ramon 94582?

Asked Wed May 21 2008, 13:56 by Raj  -  Home Buying in 94582  -  7 answers
Vickie Nagy answered:
Hello Raj,

Thye price per square foot is generally directly associated with age, condition and location. The overlying factor can often be size. For some basic parameters, larger homes (2000+ sq ft ) in Windemere are generally ranging from $280 to $335 a square foot. The smaller homes are generally being offered in the $340-$380 a square foot. Some of the differential may be attributed to builder upgrades and lot size, some to the motivation of the seller. For more information on median home prices in San Ramon, CA check out my blogs at http://www.vickiesellshomes.com or contact me at (925) 407-7987 to discuss specific property offerings. - Wed May 21 2008, 15:10
Homebuy08, Home Buyer in California

Are builders in Windemere/Gale Ranch still providing incentives on new homes ?

Asked Tue May 6 2008, 00:08 by Homebuy08  -  Home Buying in 94582  -  4 answers
Vickie Nagy answered:
Hello Homebuyer08,

I believe it's possible that you might find a home in one of these communities in the price target area. Spring selling season is not pertinent to this question. The level of inventory is. What you will find is that the best incentives are on homes that are about to be "inventory" homes...homes nearing completion with no buyer.

There are benefits to working with a Realtor when purchasing new construction. It costs you nothing, and you gain representation. If you're interested, please contact me.

Kindest Regards,

Jc, Other/Just Looking in 94582

What is considered reasonable per-square foot cost for a brand new house in Windemere?

Asked Mon Apr 28 2008, 19:15 by Jc  -  Home Buying in 94582  -  8 answers
Vickie Nagy answered:
Hello JC,

Windemere per square foot prices are driven by location (neighborhood), builder, and standard amenities. Builders tend to "test the waters" with build-to-order product. If, however, construction is nearing completion, or a contract fell out (from a formerly committed buyer) you will begin to see generous incentives.

My advice would be to work with a realtor, so that you have someone representing YOU, not the builder in the negotiation. Most builders require that the agent accompany you on the first visit, or they consider you "their" client and will not allow representation. Some go so far as to say that if you registered on their website for additional information that they are procuring cause and refuse to allow an agency relationship.

Of couse, I'd like to be your agent. So would a few thousand other people. Please visit my websites at http://www.BestTriValleyHomes.com and http://www.VickieSellsHomes.com to review the multitude of blogs I have done on San Ramon median home values, Windemere market snapshots, etc. If you like what you see, please contact me.

Kindest Regards,
Vickie Nagy - Mon Apr 28 2008, 22:59

Specialties
First time home buyers-My very first real estate transaction was serving a newly married young couple buying their first home. I've done many since then...singles, widowers, etc. but I understand they often need patience, a bit of extra support and real dedication to find the home they want and need in the right price range.

Relocation buyers and Relocation sellers-Having experienced many moves from the consumer end as a relocating professional I experienced different levels of service from my many real estate agents. I learned then that not all customers should be treated the same way. It's important to relate to the client, their needs, their concerns, their requirements and build a customized strategy for best serving the needs of each individual customer.
