remax realty affiliates: Northern Nevada Spring Cleaning Joys And Disappointment - 04/09/10 09:34 PM
Northern Nevada Spring Cleaning Joys And Disappointment 
The long winter we've just experienced in Northern Nevada and is going away slowly.  A few teaser days of Spring-like weather generates an immediate change in behavior and attitude.  Just look at all the horse trailers going up and down the road.  Seems like people are scurrying around looking for fun. 
It's that time of year to get your property ready for Summer.  Time to fire up the sprinkler system and check for leaks.  We had some unusually cold weather this winter, and any water left in the system could leave you with  broken … (0 comments)

I Genuinely Enjoy Working With Professional Agents Who Know The Right Thing To Do ... And ... Do It!
There is a great agent in our local community, Ashley, who works down the road at another office.  She not brand new, been selling a couple three years!  I've sort of watched her here and there, I was always impressed at how she worked and how she handled herself!
Recently she showed a listing that we had in a very popular family neighborhood.  The house was a little gem, bought by an investor at foreclosure.  The prior owner maintained the house until the … (11 comments)

Here's a glorious example of the beauty of Carson Valley. 
Jobs Peak looking her best.  Many people think that Nevada is all desert and sagebrush.  There are many beautiful agricultural valleys like our that offer some wide open green spaces!
The majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains run the border between California and Northern Nevada and provide a stunning backdrop for our northern Nevada Communities!

remax realty affiliates: I Love A Parade ... Small Town America At Its Finest - 06/14/09 12:34 PM
The 99th Carson Valley Days parade brought smiles and joy to the many that watched and participated in it.  It is a special event that includes the youth of our community, local businesses, politicians, and assorted government agencies in a parade of community support and pride.
This year was as good as ever.  Grand Marshal Jo Jo Townsell, local citizen and famous ex-football player, kicked it off.  His parade ended when the beautiful convertible he was riding in broke down and was pushed to the end by the volleyball girls that were following him.  True community team work.
We had Miss … (2 comments)

remax realty affiliates: Check With The Neighbors If You Want To Know What's Going On - 06/10/09 12:45 AM
Not only can the neighbors tell you about the house you are buying, they are actually an important component of its value.  A home doesn't stand alone, even if you are on 5 acre parcels. 
Most people live in a neighborhood - what's it like?  Are they open, caring, friendly, but non intrusive... or are they overbearing and delving into your life.  Or vice versa, a reclusive.  Who has the out of control kids, dogs, etc. - or is all peaceful in the 'hood? 
Build enough rapport with the neighbor and you could learn all kinds of things about the house … (7 comments)

remax realty affiliates: The Neighborhood Looks Rough ... Should We Buy Anyway? - 06/03/09 10:08 PM
Many neighborhoods in Carson Valley and Carson City  just don't look the same anymore.  With families having to move on an involuntary basis, foreclosure, the landscaping has transitioned to "REO Landscaping", dead or dying.  When driving through a neighborhood with several homes featuring REO Landscaping it can look rough to the home Buyer, but keep your eye on the potential. 
Your home purchase is a long term investment, and it is important to look at what the neighborhood will be like during the course of your home ownership or when you go to sell.  The current economic situation, serious as it … (4 comments)

remax realty affiliates: They Didn't See The Cloud Sneaking Up On Them - 05/30/09 12:51 PM
My husband was irrigating our back pasture yesterday and took this picture of two of our horses, Ninth Calvery - known as Calvin and Highbar, they didn't see the giant cloud sneaking up on them.  Being the little gluttons that they are, they wanted a last minute snack before they left the watered field.

remax realty affiliates: You're Taking Action ... How To Look At A Home - 05/29/09 09:40 AM
So you're getting off the sideline and into the game ... ready to look at houses.  You've been pre-approved, have a good agent, have your wants and needs figured out and you're ready to go see the insides.  What do you do? 
Many homes are vacant these days.  Vacant homes are easy to access, but will require some imagination to see how the home will work for you, your furniture, and your lifestyle.  Take some time to visualize in the empty space how your life will flow.  Imagine it in the condition you want it to be in and what it … (8 comments)

remax realty affiliates: Clouds Again ... Finally - 05/26/09 10:57 PM
We've had a long drought and we've missed our normal cloudscape that comes with normal precipitation.  Had a wonderful thunderstorm the other day, and are starting to get clouds popping everywhere ... finally.  Ansel Adams had a famous picture of a huge thundercloud over Lake Tahoe - actually east of Tahoe and over our valley.  We haven't seen them for awhile.
We usually get them in June, but haven't seen them in a few years as we've had a drought.  The rain is nice and we're hoping for more.  In the meantime, the abundant clouds make our landscapes gorgeous.

remax realty affiliates: Stay In Your Realm Of Expertise - Short Sales and Bank-Owned Niche Markets - 05/25/09 02:12 PM
Staying within your realm of expertise is challenging these days, but nonetheless still very important.  Agents know they shouldn't get involved in a commercial transaction without the proper knowledge.  The same goes for all other specialty areas of real estate, i.e.- vacant land, subdivision land, farms & ranches, etc.  How about short sale and bank-owned transactions?
The agent that has no knowledge or experience in these areas shouldn't venture forth without assistance from an experienced agent or they will not only be violating the NAR Code of Ethics, they may well find themselves embroiled in litigation should anything go wrong.  What … (0 comments)

remax realty affiliates: Show the Listing If You Want To Get Paid - 05/22/09 06:03 PM
We're pretty flexible and like to help other agents any time we can.  We had a weird one the other day, however, and we drew the line.  We had an agent call us from Fernley for code to bank lock box.  Fernley is about an hour and fifteen minute drive.  Our assistant told her that it was on an MLS lockbox and she could access that way.  She insisted on getting the bank box code.  When our assistant declined she admitted that she wanted to give them her customers the code so she didn't have to drive to our town to … (11 comments)
