When Ron Vitt and Ellen Brantley left "Intel" to live their dreams... they bought in Sonoma |
For the past 20 years we have made it our business to help others become part of the Sonoma Valley Lifestyle... When Ron Vitt and Ellen Brantley left "Intel" to live their dreams, they had the freedom to go anywhere in the world. After an extensive search of Sonoma and Napa Counties they purchased this beautiful home. They remodeled extensively, planted their vines, and have turned their dreams into a reality.
The Brantleys found the natural beauty of Sonoma’s "Valley of the Moon" to be more intoxicating than the fine wines produced here... Our bountiful agriculture, the historic old-world charm, the ideal climate, and the talented and resourceful citizenry combine to make Sonoma Valley the perfect place to raise a family, retire, or escape from city-life while still being just 45 minutes away from San Francisco, perhaps the most beautiful, cultured, cosmopolitan city in the world.
We don’t sell homes... We manage events for people going through life’s important transitions requiring the sale or purchase of a home. This is usually due to a job change, a change in family composition, a change in health, or a change in finances. The joy and challenge of our job is that no two transactions are alike. The variety of circumstances is as varied as the people themselves.
Our no-nonsense style involves developing trust, rapport, and open communication with you... We’ll gather information, formulate a plan of action, and set out to accomplish our goal of a successfully closed real estate transaction. We’ll keep our sense of humor, we’ll work our way through the transaction one step at a time, and we’ll try to have a little fun along the way.  |
Real Estate Contracts >The Sales Price
After your search for a house and all the negotiations are over, you arrive at the the sales price. Finally, you feel some certainty about your bottom line. However, it is not unusual for there to be disagreements about what is included in the sales price. Careful drafting of the paperwork can help to avoid future disputes.
The following definitions may help. Real property is land and any permanent attachments, such as buildings, landscaping and fences. Personal property consists of movable possessions, such as furniture and clothing. A fixture is defined as an item of personal property which has become part of the real property by virtue of becoming permanently attached, such as a new sink, a Jacuzzi, or a chandelier.
The principal area of dispute about the sales price often relates to fixtures. Most preprinted real estate contracts will provide space for the fixtures to be listed. Whether you are selling or buying, you should make use of this space. Do not assume curtains, satellite discs, antennas or fireplace equipment come with the house. You should also make it very clear what you don't want left on the property. If you are specific about every item that may be questionable, you will greatly reduce the chances of a dispute after the closing.
