Seller is offering a $3,000 finder fee to anyone who refers a buyer who closes on this home at the full asking price listed below.  This home was appraised in Sept. of 2008 for $530,00 by an appraiser who does work for Wells Fargo Home Loans and MetLife Home Loans.  Industry professionals have recently told me that in order to attract serious attention I should list my house at $475,000.  Having this great Tanoan home priced right while also understanding that this is a buyers market, I would hope to settle on a price of around $469,000.  I also realize that my home has competition.  So I have further reduced the price by the 6%+ that would normally go to a realtor, thereby making my asking price $439,900!  If you are the buyer reading this and there is no finder fee to be paid out, I am glad to reduce the price by the $3,000 to $436,900.  In addition, I will still pay the typical seller closing costs such as appraisal, title policy, half the settlement fee, etc.  This is truly is a win/win for all parties and is better then many short sales.  The buyer gets a great house well below market, the $3,000 finders fee is paid out, and the seller gets to move on.     Now about the home...    * This home is located on one of the quietest streets in the gated golf course community of Tanoan.  See the plot map on the picture page of this web site to compare lot sizes and to see how centrally located this house is in Tanoan.  Please click on the map link as well.    * Hard to find single story home with a 3 car garage located on a large lot of over a quarter acre.    * If you like to entertain please note the large open floor plan and newer remodeled kitchen with an abundance of cabinet space.    * If you have children this could possibly be one of the safest neighborhoods in Albuquerque, in addition to great schools, controlled traffic, and lots of seasonal spirit during all of the holidays.    * If you like to walk, you can meet your neighbors while taking a stroll in the park like setting.  Even on hot summer days, the many trees shade the road so walks can still be refreshing.
