Seeking California Heights Historic Home For Sale

If you are thinking about selling and have a Historic California Heights Home that is not yet on the market, I have a specific, highly qualified “A” credit buyer, with a large down payment, who may be interested in purchasing your home. This is not a solicitation to list your home. This buyer is quite real, as am I. This is not the first time I have reverse prospected a Long Beach home for a buyer looking for something a little extraordinary.

The buyers are a young professional couple, both doctors, who are purchasing their first home with a large inheritance. They have a sizable down payment, FICO scores in the 800 range, are already pre-approved, are ready to purchase and pay market price. All they need is the right home.

They have been in escrow on another home in the California Heights Historic District. Inspections revealed large problems with the home, none of which was the seller willing to remedy in any way. The home was priced at market, which was too high once the actual condition of the home was revealed.

We are seeking a Historic California Heights home in good and solid condition. That doesn’t mean it has to be perfect, but several serious structural issues proved to be too much to deal with. The home should be at least 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, Spanish style is preferred, but we are not limited to this style, wood floors, coved ceilings, garage, lot size is not as important as condition. Historic status is a major plus.

Homes are sitting on the market for long periods of time, many not selling at all. If you are thinking about selling your California Heights Historic home at any time in the near future, it would not be a waste of your time to call me to discuss the possibilities. Just think, a quiet easy sale and no trail of people coming through your home for months on end.

What I propose is very simple. If you already have an exclusive Long Beach Realtor®, have them give me a call. If you do not already have a Realtor or would like to save a substantial sum of money on commission, I can make this very appealing to everybody.
