Looking For A New Construction Home?

Let me remind you that before you head out to look at the model homes, call Rick Lund to take you.

Now you are asking why do we need you to tag along with us?

The market is very competitive between the new home builders. These builders are willing to pay me to represent you and you need my representation.

I know what questions to ask the salesperson to help you in your negotiations. I know how to help you get builder incentives that you may not be aware are available.

When you go to the builder's models, the nice sales agent works for and represents the builder. They have no responsibility to let you know of available builder concessions unless they need to.

Most new home builders will not accept a contingent sale. If you need to sell your existing home please call me. I can help you know how much equity you will have to work with and the different types of financing that are available to help you with a new home purchase.

I have been selling homes in Reno/Sparks since 1978. I was the seventh highest volume agent in 2006 and Ferrari-Lund Real Estate has been the second highest volume company since 2003 in the Reno/Sparks area.

Market Update May 2007

I wanted to give you an update on what Rick Lund is up to and what is happening with Ferrari-Lund Real Estate. Since 2003, Ferrari-Lund Real Estate has been the second highest volume company in the Reno/Sparks market. Not bad for a company that I co-opened in 1988 with 6 agents total. We opened with no goal of being a market leader but rather a company that was needed to take care of my client’s real estate needs the way I knew they should be handled. I can also say thanks to all of you who let me help you with your real estate needs. I was the seventh highest volume agent in the Reno/Sparks market in 2006. Considering there are over 2500 agents in our market, I feel grateful for your support.

Ferrari-Lund has also been able to build ownership relationships with First Centennial Title Company and Lakeside Lending. With four convenient office locations and with escrow and lenders nearby, a one-stop hassle free real estate transaction is available for you.

What I really want to inform you about today is a service I have been providing for a few years now. I am aware of a private pension that purchases real estate notes, loans on hard to finance real estate and private loans to buyers that might be credit challenged.

If you are refinancing your existing loan or buying a home please consider Lakeside Lending and ask to use First Centennial Title Company for your escrow service.
If you need cash, or need to sell a note or need a loan to buy rural land, please call me.

I am often asked if the rumors are true:

1) The value of real estate in our area has dropped - Yes
2) The lenders who use to be available for 100% loans with limited qualifying are leaving the market. - Yes
3) Interest rates like gas prices may be headed up? It seems possible

Please call me if you have any questions or would like to discuss any real estate issue.

For all of your real estates needs or questions call me, Rick Lund
850-7033 or 742-6537 or email me at sold@ricklund.com

Sincerely,
Rick Lund

Striped Bass Season 2007

The Striped Bass season for 2007 for me has ended. It was the best I've ever had and it's too bad I have to quit when it is still red hot. My boat had days where we caught zero fish but the day we caught 53 fish was a record for me. The Sacramento River and Delta were great depending on wind, rain and water color.

My personal biggest fish were 11, 10,10, 8 1/2 and 8 pounds with most fish in the 18-25 inch range.

Now, I can't wait for the Salmon coming in August. Now it's time to sell real estate.
