Susan has been an absolute blessing to Allan & I. She was there every step of the way, and went above and beyond the duty of a real estate professional. She is number 1 in my book! She truly is the best in the business. I highly recommend her in the sale of one’s home. I give her a diamond over 5 stars. ~ Alison R.
We had the pleasure of working with Susan Redgrave on the sale of our home in Brentwood. The experience, which can be stressful, was overwhelmingly positive, thanks entirely to Susan. She put together an effective plan that took us from preparing the house through to closing, and each step along the way was clearly laid out and explained fully. Any questions that we had along the way were answered quickly, & accurately, and always with patience, and a positive attitude. Susan did an excellent job of communicating progress, timing, next steps, and etc., during the entire process. She took on the burden of coordinating painters, landscapers, carpet cleaners, house cleaners and stagers, who transformed the home into an attractive and desired property. She hosted a brokers tour and held open houses, which generated additional interest in the home. We ended up with multiple offers, all over the asking price. This allowed us to select the one that we thought was the best fit for the neighborhood. She even helped us on the purchase of our new place, by offering insight and advice on properties that we were looking at. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is thinking of selling, or buying, in the Brentwood area. Besides being fun, and easy to work with, she is the epitome of professionalism, is extremely hard-working, and an excellent communicator. it was the easiest real estate transaction that I've been a part of. ~Allan R.
My sister and I had to sell our mother's house as she recently passed. We chose Susan Redgrave at Dudum Realty based upon a recommendation from a friend of mine. We could not have been in better more capable hands. Susan handled everything. She was very prompt, excellent communication and she acted professionally at all times. She let us make our own decisions but chimed in and offered advice and direction when we needed it. In the past I have worked with other real estate agents and normally they take a look around, create a list of things that need to be done to make the house attractive and place all that responsibility squarely in the laps of the seller. Susan was not like that. She found things that needed to be addressed and she took the lead and fixed them. She had many contacts that would come over and fix things immediately. My sister and I live 45 min to an hour away from Brentwood and we found Susan's help invaluable. Bottom line we got multiple offers and sold the house above asking price due to the abilities that Susan and Dudum Realty offers. I would highly highly recommend Dudum and Susan. In fact I have already done so with my children's mother who is moving out of Brentwood soon. If you are looking to sell or buy in the Brentwood and surrounding areas, you cannot go wrong in choosing Dudum Realty and Susan Redgrave. She is fantastic. ~Scott H.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT ESCROW By Patrick McCarran ~ Real Estate Broker An offer has been accepted and a closing date has been set. Now the home is going through escrow. But what does that really mean to buyers and sellers? The following are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about escrow and the escrow process. WHAT IS ESCROW? Escrow is a process that begins when the offer papers are signed by both parties and ends when title is transferred, after the loan is funded and both the buyer and seller have fulfilled all the necessary requirements. WHAT IS AN ESCROW HOLDER? The escrow holder is a neutral third party agent of the principals—buyer, seller, lender, and borrower—which helps with the transfer of ownership by ensuring that the terms of the transaction are completed. This includes safeguarding all funds (including the buyer’s deposit) and documents. Once all the details have been settled, the escrow holder disburses the funds and documents to the appropriate parties. WHAT DOES THE ESCROW HAVE TO DO PRIOR TO SALE? The escrow holder keeps track of obligations of the seller or buyer. For example, if the seller is required to supply a termite inspection, the escrow holder would make sure it is fulfilled before any
funds are transferred to the seller. Findings in the termite inspection report must be corrected on or before the close of escrow. If the report calls for a plumber, roofer or other contractor, the agent would advise the seller and get authorization for work to be done.
be delayed. It also helps to make sure that the funds provided are “good” because the escrow will only close on cleared funds. You want to consider a more secure form of payment, rather than a personal check, which can take up to a week to process.
HOW DOES THE ESCROW COMPANY INTERACT WITH THE TITLE COMPANY? The escrow holder receives a complete ownership history of the property and any liens on record in the preliminary title report. Anything that is out of the ordinary, such as condo liens, judgments, etc., against the buyer and seller must be clarified prior to close of escrow.
What happens with the check I give to the escrow company?
WHY DOES THE ESCROW PROCESS TAKE SO LONG? The escrow process can be any number of days depending on what is agreed upon between the buyer and the seller. To assure a timely closing, you can check with the escrow holder on specific items that will help move the process along. For example, the buyer should do things like inform the escrow holder of the name and phone number of his or her insurance agent as soon as possible. The homeowners insurance policy needs to be ordered early, so verification can be made with the lender. The lender will not fund a new loan without a homeowners policy. If there is a delay, the escrow process may
Most buyers think that their check will not be cashed until the close of escrow, but that is not the case. The check is cashed by the escrow company immediately, and held in a trust account. If anything out of the ordinary is to be done at the close of escrow with the seller’s proceeds, the escrow holder must be notified. A signed amendment is required for wiring funds or splitting proceeds. If you have questions about the escrow process, confer with your real estate professionals who can help provide you with more detail with this or any other home buying or selling subject..

DO NOT PANIC; PANIC; JUMP ON THE OPPORTUNITY! Unless you have been living in a cave, you probably have noticed that the stock marker has gone into a rolling decline, with each day giving lower prices. While this should be temporary and the market will eventually recover, the major side effect of this decline in stock prices is a lower interest rate, at least in the federal funds. The consensus is that mortgage backed securities will follow in the lower interest rate. I have asked Michael Bernamonti of Guild Mortgage for the current published rate. As of today (February 28, 2020), the FHA rate is 2.875% with .875 points, the VA rate is 2.875% with .875 points , and the conventional rate is 3.25% with .75 points . Of course, there are items that will move the rate up or down, based on your credit score, amount of down payment, cash reserves, buydown of the rate, and many other items that affect the final rate. While I expect these rates to stay low, it is unlikely they will be at these levels for an extended period. The nice thing is that there is one more benefit of acting quickly. We live in one of the most affordable areas in the Bay Area. Prices here are in many cases 50% (or more) less than comparable properties in other Bay area cities. Recently the New York Times printed an article that if your are having commute issues, the City of Antioch may be something to consider to reduce (seems odd) the regular commute in the Greater San Francisco Metropolitan area. Additionally, prices in the East Contra Costa County area are not increasing at the current time for many homebuyers. Your Realtor will provide guidance and negotiation for getting you the best price possible. In real estate, time is of the essence. Opportunities pop up and the savvy Buyer/Seller jumps on them quickly. It is not a matter of the Quick and the Dead, but damage can be done due to hesitation in making a decision once your property has been identified. A rule of thumb I use is; If you love the home you are considering a purchase, others will as well. Preparation is another item that goes hand-in-hand with this. Buyers should get their financials in line with a competent mortgage broker prior to looking for a home. With the information that is provided, you will know what your monthly payment will be and that will also help your real estate agent find a home that meted your needs and well as your payment comfort level. There is a lot of information here. Give us a call at 925-308-7045 if you need more information or have other question s about buying in East County.
