Jack,

First of all, you don't pay the agent anything for their services. The builder has money set aside in their marketing budgets to pay the agents.

The reason to use me as an agent is that I have done enough business with Lennar in San Ramon that I do know the agents and I can (most of the time) negotiate a better deal for you than if you just walk in the door yourself. There is "back pocket" money that is held back and I have a better chance at getting to some of that money than you do. Also, I have the experience to ask for the right things in the right way (i.e. upgrade money, or help with financing etc.)

Again, you don't pay me a dime to use me, and especially with Lennar, if you don't use an agent, you aren't going to get any of the 3% money anyway.

Call me and let me ngotiate the best deal possible for you. The worst thing that can happen is that they say no to our offer.

Jack,

This is another example of an anonymous person giving an answer that doesn't answer the question. If you really want to know the best price for a Lennar home, meet me up Paloma, and let's negotiate "the best" price for YOU. It doesn't matter what others have paid, it's what's for sale today, what the market conditions are today, and what interest rates are today.

Are you just asking questions to kill time, or do you want the REAL answer?

When your ready to get the real answer, call me and I'll take you too Paloma to find out. Otherwise, it's all just bla bla bla bla.

Sandy,

I re-read your question and will answer it directly.

The only way to know the best pricing is to go make an offer and find out. The only person that can answer your question is the person at Shapell who accepts or rejects offers. All these other people trying to answer your question are just waisting time.

I will meet you up there, submit the offer for you and help you negotiate the "best" price. Otherwise, all these answers and guesses are just more bla bla bla bla......

If your serious about your question, give me a call and let's go find out.

Are you just asking for something to do, or do you really want to buy a house?

If you really want to know, don't ask a group of anonymous people who may or may not know the answer. How about meeting me up there at 1:00 tomorrow and we will find out. I will negotiate my butt off for you and get you the best deal possible, with upgrades and money for closing costs.

I can search tax records all day long and tell you what others have paid, but that doesn't mean that's what you will pay.

If your a serious buyer, meet me and let's find out. Call me to confirm our appointment..

What's not to get. Zillow data is not accurate. In the future, if you want to know what is for sale, or what something sold for, call me.

Do yourself and everyone else a huge favor, don't rely on Zillow. It's like getting your real estate news from the National Enquirer. It's purely for entertainment.

Seriously,

Do you really think an agent would take the time to log into Zillow and update a short sale that is pending? That's a good one. - Fri Jun 20 2008, 19:23

They are not accurate.

2382 Keaks is Pending with a listing price of $950,000

In the future, don't trust anything Zillow says. If you follow that rule, you will be correct 99% of the time. And if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Is there a question in there somewhere? - Wed Jun 18 2008, 08:40

Vikas,

Call me and I'll tell you what you should pay for the home. It's not rocket science. I'll also write the offer for you and negotiate the best price for it that we can. And don't be fooled by the newspapers. People are out there buying homes.
