Applegate


Applegate, in Placer County, is a small town just northeast from Auburn and Meadow Vista on I80.

Applegate was originally settled in 1849 by Lisbon Applegate, having come to California with his son, George, from Missouri. Part of a family who first emigrated to America in the 17th century, the Applegates bought acreage above Clipper Gap, CA and established a fruit ranch there.

As the town grew it was called Bear River House due to its proximity to the Bear River, a short distance northwest. When a post office was established 1855, the community officially became known as Lisbon in honor of its founder. George W. Applegate became postmaster and in the 1870s, the settlement was renamed to Applegate also to honor its founder.

At one time, Applegate was a station on the Central Pacific Railroad (later Southern Pacific). When a second track was added in 1929, the station on the eastbound track was named East Applegate.

Now Applegate is a quiet community with homes on either side of I80.

What a great experience. From pre sale activities like preparing the home, pricing, pictures to the final walkthrough, Chuck was a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Every step went really well!

"We were extremely fortunate to have Chuck Townsend represent our interests on the sale of our Auburn home and also our rental condo. Both had unique challenges that would have baffled any agent with less experience and determination. Chuck always kept us updated on every aspect of the transaction and was always available to answer questions. His expertise in every facet of the real estate market consistently exceeded our expectations! We absolutely recommend Chuck to anyone seeking the very best in real estate representation!

"Chuck became more than a Realtor. I knew from the very first meeting, he was a friend and truly had my best interest at heart. He worked tirelessly for me in an impossible situation for the very best outcome. Honestly, through even a disappointment, he was faithful and steadfast, always encouraging and kind. I could not ask for anything more from any person. I am eternally grateful for him walking me through things I knew nothing about with generosity and tenderness and patience. Thank you so very much, Chuck for all your kindness and generosity. He is such a man of integrity, completely trustworthy.

Chuck was great to work with. We were looking to move up from San Jose and wanted to find a house in the Auburn area. Chuck lined up a number of homes that met our criteria for us to look at when we came up for our two days of "house hunting" and worked with us long-distance to negotiate and close out the sale of a great house. This included arranging for contractors to bid on and start work on some changes necessary. I would highly recommend Chuck to anyone looking to buy a house in the area.

 

~ Cindy & Mitch

Never gave up, and checked each prospect to make sure they were serious buyers. He knew what he was taking about, knew what was needed and what would help sell and what would not. Friendly and frank. A pleasure to work with.

 

~ Will & Sue

"Chuck Townsend has done a wonderful job selling our property. He faced many obstacles on the way but came through beautifully. I would highly recommend Chuck as a realtor. Chuck’s wife Elise is also an asset. She staged the property and everything looked great. I was more than pleased with Chuck as our realtor!" Nancy Flint

We are very grateful to Chuck Townsend for helping us find a beautiful peice of property in Foresthill. Chuck provided excellent advice on how to evaluate the cost/value of raw land based on how much site work would be required (water, electricity, sewer/septic, etc) and referred us to a contractor to get a preliminary estimate on construction costs. We learned a lot in the process, and were able to make an informed decision. Thank You Chuck!

 

~ Peter & Pam

Chuck is a professional who knows the ins and outs of the real estate business. He knew exactly what we needed to do as a family in order to get us into our dream home.

"I wish to recommend Chuck Townsend of Intero Real Estate Services! I have worked with him and his clients for 3 years and find him to be a honest and hard working real estate agent. He is a wonderful man, and takes good care of his listings and purchase clients and has been a great agent to work with over the years. I rate Chuck Townsend with 10/10 stars!!" Donna Delno"

“I must admit that I was blown away with the amount of work that Chuck has done to help us with this transaction. The property was originally offered at a price above market. Chuck did an amazing job of analyzing all of the comps in the area and preparing multiple documents that convinced the seller to move forward with our offer. He helped us resolve the hand full of offers / counter offer issues related to rent back arrangements and other details. He has also taken a huge amount of his time to coordinate all of the follow up activities (inspections, appraisal, etc.) so that the escrow can close without any hitches. If you do not already have an agreement with another Realtor, it would be worth your time to give Chuck a call to see if he can help you.” Thom & Suzanne Kay San Jose, CA
