A Remarkable Transformation

The journey of 7137 Spicer is a testament to the power of vision and hard work. The seller bought the home in 2022 as a fixer-upper, seeing the potential hidden beneath its worn exterior. With dedication and effort, he transformed it into a charming property, ultimately operating it as a short-term rental. The standout feature? A sparkling pool that made the home a popular summer rental.

Strategic Investment Moves

As the real estate market shifted, the seller decided to liquidate his entire portfolio. He opted for a 1031 exchange, investing in properties in Las Vegas, where the return on short-term rentals is significantly higher. This strategic move allowed him to maximize his investment and capitalize on favorable market conditions.


Welcoming a New Chapter

The buyer of 7137 Spicer is relocating from Los Angeles to Citrus Heights to be closer to family and enjoy a lower cost of living during retirement. The property perfectly aligned with their needs, featuring a beautiful pool, an updated kitchen, and the convenience of a single-story layout. It was love at first sight for the buyer, who saw this home as the ideal place to start a new chapter.


Seamless Transition

A key factor in the smooth transaction was the seller's proactive approach. He conducted pre-listing inspections and made necessary repairs, ensuring the property was in top condition. This attention to detail facilitated a seamless escrow process, making the transition stress-free for the buyer.


Team Effort and Collaboration

The buyer's agent played a crucial role in this successful transaction. Their professionalism and cooperation made the process enjoyable and efficient for everyone involved. It was a true team effort, resulting in a win-win situation for both the buyer and the seller.


A Bright Future Ahead

With its prime location and attractive features, 7137 Spicer is now ready to welcome its new owners. The buyer can look forward to enjoying the pool, hosting gatherings in the updated kitchen, and settling into a peaceful, single-story home in a family-friendly neighborhood.
