This property was a World Renown Estate and Architectural Masterpiece, designed by Helena Arahuete of Lautner and Associates in LA, who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright, and featured in many magazines known as<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propgoluxury.com\/en\/propertynews\/napa\/393-house-above-the-morning-clouds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;The House Above the Morning Clouds&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-3212\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1700-Twin-Sisters-Aerial.jpg\" alt=\"success stories in real estate\" class=\"wp-image-3212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1700-Twin-Sisters-Aerial.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1700-Twin-Sisters-Aerial-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1700-Twin-Sisters-Aerial-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1700-Twin-Sisters-Aerial-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Courtesy of Kathryn Luebcke<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What I did not know is that the seller, my client, was in foreclosure and later the property went back to the bank then in Bankruptcy for the Lender. Five years earlier a well-known chef in Napa Valley had referred a buyer from Texas to me and Five years later that buyer called! The buyers wanted to see a property in Santa Rosa\/Sonoma County that was &#8220;Contemporary&#8221; and it reminded me of a home that you might see in Texas where the buyer is from. Nothing like the property I sold them &#8211; which threw me off a bit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I previewed many properties prior to the buyers arriving over a couple of weeks to ensure I showed them only the very best. I showed the buyers property in Sonoma and Napa Valley for a day and a half. At the end the buyer&#8217;s wife said &#8220;what we really want is something very contemporary with lots of glass&#8221; &#8211; I said &#8220;what about a property that is made of all glass and steel overlooking Napa &#8211; not in Napa Valley?&#8221; As they were leaving the husband said he would fly back out the following week to view! I was not thinking about this home as it is located in the county next door in Solano.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-3222\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Pool-1700-Twin-Sisters.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Pool-1700-Twin-Sisters.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Pool-1700-Twin-Sisters-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Pool-1700-Twin-Sisters-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Pool 1700 Twin Sisters courtesy of Kathy Luebcke<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next thing you know, the husband flies back out in his private plane, he fell in love and we put in an offer for a bargain price of $3M. This happened to be a bankruptcy sale at this point and listed by another agent for the Court (another long story) and was subject to overbid. To make it even more exciting another buyer wrote an offer for $3.25M which meant we would have to be available for a phone auction with buyers and buyer&#8217;s agents along with the Bankruptcy Attorney conducting the Auction. After a few rounds of prices being offered, I heard the other buyer&#8217;s agent&#8217;s client say &#8220;Let them have it!&#8221; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was so exciting and my client was very strategic winning the home at $3.498M. (Appraised in 2007 for $21.5M). Later the buyer purchased 6 vacant land properties from me surrounding the home adding an additional 800 acres approximately to his estate!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even more interesting, after working on this property for 4 years we bought a home to be closer to my husband&#8217;s job. When we sat outside for the first evening to enjoy the view overlooking a local golf course &#8211; we were surprised &#8211; part of our view is of this Majestic Mountain to the west!

His can-do attitude and ability to embrace technology to connect with clients and collaborate with other real estate professionals around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jose&#8217;s Testimonial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><i>I live out of Town and didn&#8217;t know who to call for my mother&#8217;s trust sell of her home, but I could not have found a better realtor and person!!! It was a stressful time and he simply said let me earn my commission and take the stress away. CA Chicago<\/i><\/p><p>~ Phill W.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jose&#8217;s Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Phil, called me after his mother passed away and he inherited the property and wanted to get an idea of value and if he should sell or rent it out. I met him at the property and while there we discovered that 12 years back I did a CMA for Phil&#8217;s mother when his dad passed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right away, I could see Phil was anxious and not sure what to do with the home, which needed repairs. He had an appraisal of $650,000 and was thinking of selling it as-is for the appraised value. I suggested he allow me to do an ARV or after repaired value analysis, because being a neighborhood specialist in the community of Fairway Park &#8211; El Rancho Verde, where the property was located, I knew the home would sell over $700,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One problem was Phil had no monies for repairs. I made him aware that our office would put the monies up for repairs and he could reimburse us at the close of escrow&#8230;after discussing it with his attorney and family members he decided to move forward with repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total repairs were around $20,000 and included painting the interior, refinishing the hardwood floors, remodeling the kitchen and staging the property. We listing it at $700,000 (expecting it to sell for $725,000). Within 1 week we received an offer for $750,000. Which netted the estate approximately $80,000 more then if we sold it for $650,000 as-is, and minus the $20,000 cost to repair. Phil stated that it not only paid the real estate commission but netted the family, some needed funds to take care of the estate&#8217;s debt. He was more than thrilled.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven of the most common home selling mistakes and how to avoid them brought to you by Jose Diaz:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B0GjvJ3FUOz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"598\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-19-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-19-7.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-19-7-286x300.jpg 286w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-19-7-400x420.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-19-7-24x24.jpg 24w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><hr><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Judy_Bood_%E2%80%93_REALTOR%C2%AE\"><\/span>Judy Bood &#8211; REALTOR\u00ae<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Judy-Bood.jpg\" alt=\"Judy Bood\" class=\"wp-image-3246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Judy-Bood.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Judy-Bood-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Judy-Bood-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Judy-Bood-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Judy-Bood-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Judy-Bood-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Judy-Bood-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Judy Bood<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>Team 3000 Realty<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>Realtor and Certified International Property Specialist<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>Office: 778-297-3000<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>Cell: 250-465-8380<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>www.judybood.com<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Team 3000 Realty<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/agent\/judy-bood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Judy Bood<\/a> is a Realtor and Certified International Property Specialist with Team 3000 Realty in the Comox Valley and beyond.

Ross invited me in and said that yes, he was interested in listing their home. He showed my around and then Carolyn and Ross and I talked over a cup of tea. The house was custom built by a Dutch artist and had a very moody interior with lots of dark walls, and over sized fireplace and long dark drapes. There was a two bedroom suite attached to the home. I had a good talk with the tenant so that I understand what her needs were.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>They had just a week before called another Realtor in the area who informed them that she wanted their\u00a0large boat removed from the\u00a0front of the property and that she didn&#8217;t take listings unless they sold in 10 days. I told them that the boat could stay, that buyers would see past the boat when looking at their house.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I went back to my office and did a Comparative Market Analysis. I presented this to the Walton&#8217;s. They told me that they needed more and so I agreed to list for a little bit higher. My photographer did an amazing job of capturing the uniqueness of the house and the English gardens. I listed the property with the beautiful photos and floor plans and it got a lot of interest.
