Well Logs in Nevada And Their Importance  
If you are buying a home that gets its water from a domestic well, or looking at a vacant lot that involves the drilling of a well, you should get either the subject well log or, in the case of a lot without an existing well, well logs for surrounding properties that will give you an idea of what you can expect in your well drilling endeavor. It is a statutory requirement that every well drilled in the State of Nevada have a log of the well drilling filed by the well driller with … (2 comments)

carson city homes: Wordless Wednesday Offering ... Carson Valley - 07/08/09 02:04 AM
Wordless Wednesday Offering  ... Carson Valley
Our brother-in-law is a wonderful artist.  This is another example of his beautiful work show casing our wonderful Carson Valley.  Last week we featured his painting  Sierra Nevadas.  Enjoy!
 
 
Carson Valley
The Carson Valley in Northern Nevada has the drama of light and shadow in all seasons. The Sierra Nevada range rises straight up from the valley floor. I liked the brightness of the cottonwood trees and desert Rabbitbrush up against the blue-purple mountains on this fall day.

Today ... Wachovia Did A Great Thing!
We have a tough deal that we have worked through for months!  We have jumped through hoop after hoop!
We thought we were finally moving toward a close and ... BOOM! ... the appraisal didn't come in!
C@#P! 
Now what?
We asked Wachovia to take a lesser payoff. 
Not in the cards!  No Way! Isn't going to happen!
Guess What!  It happened!
They reconsidered the next day  ...  the Short Sale Coordinator made a second call to ask them!

Well ... Can You Even Believe What You Hear in the Salon!  (Women Only Please!)
I had my nails done today!  An ordinary, every two week experience for me.  Usually I zone out, relax - it's about the only time I sit still for an hour and a half - and usually I even doze off! 
Today?
Today! ... was different!  Maybe the energy was different or maybe I just finally paid attention to the surrounding conversation!
OMG!
I cannot believe the topics that were open for discussion.

carson city homes: Multiple Offers in Carson Valley, Nevada! ... What Do We Do Now? - 05/19/09 11:28 AM
Yes, segments of our market are getting multiple offers ... some even for more than the list price.  We've written recently about the "perfect storm" conditions for entry level housing, and indeed, it has occurred.  When the market shifted the last time in a big way we said it was like "the spigot was turned off".  Now it is like the levee broke!  If you are shopping in that market segment you might need to change your approach. 
Here's what's happening.  The inventory is rapidly being absorbed in the affordable home market segments.  The other day we searched the Multiple Listing … (6 comments)

carson city homes: When Marketing Your Home Put Your Valuables Away When Selling! - 05/05/09 12:07 PM
An agent will do everything she can to protect your assets, but if you have a new agent and a thief that has been a thief for 20 years - who has more experience?  Remove the temptation - put it away.  After all, they aren't buying your jewelry - they are supposed to be buying your house.  You are moving anyway... pack some of your special things a bit early to play it safe.  You'll appreciate them more when you unpack at your new house ... and you'll still have them. Well priced homes are selling these days so your security … (6 comments)

Awesome! I'm all over this!  That is exactly what we love and we are so happy to help!  Old friend, referrals, first time buyers, it doesn't get much better than this!
