Why I Chose Real Estate! - The Perfect Choice - 07/30/11 10:18 PM
Why I Chose Real Estate! - The Perfect Choice My real estate career may have started only six short years ago but it was a long time coming for me and the Perfect Choice!  From my temperament to the things I enjoy in life, signs started pointing in the real estate direction in my early 30's.  In looking back though, I think I was always destined for sales.
I love people and for the most part am a pretty happy person. At the same time,  I don't give up easy and am quite competitive - something that surprises a lot … (26 comments)

Harper Faith Browning - 07/26/11 11:01 PM
Harper Faith Browning I recently found out that a very dear friend (my best friend in high school and one of my bridesmaids) has a new grand baby girl - Harper Faith Browning.  An exciting time this should be, except Harper was born with an interrupted aorta, a large hole in her heart, and a valve too small to function. Her doctors have diagnosed it as DiGeorge's syndrome. A rare genetic mishap that effects chromosome 22. It breaks off then randomly effects parts of the body. As you can imagine, her family is devastated.
She has had 3 surgeries to date … (12 comments)

Fun Photo Capturing with Tag Galaxy's Globe - 07/25/11 10:56 PM
If you're in need of a little fun, here it is.  I typed in my little community of El Dorado Hills and 1500+ photos showed up.  Leave it to Brad Andersohn to find this site.  Thanks Brad!!!
Via Brad Andersohn (Zillow - Outreach Manager):
Tag Galaxy is a site that lets you enter any "Tag" or "Keywords" or phrases then brings back all the related photos found that may match your search results.  At first, I didn't think much of it until I started selectively picking specific keywords and tags that brought back some really interesting and fun results.
The final search … (4 comments)

Electronic Signatures are a Must in a Realtor Repertoire! - 07/23/11 12:44 AM
Electronic Signatures are a Must in a Realtor Repertoire! Electronic signatures are fairly new but are a must in a Realtor repertoire.    I know learning new things is hard sometimes but I refused when my children were little to get left behind when it comes to technology.  This is not to be mistaken with getting a new phone with each version that comes out as I had my Blackberry for almost 3 years before recently getting an Android.  But there are two must haves for Realtors in California - Online Winforms (real estate forms for use in California) and Electronic … (11 comments)

Enough with the Phone Books! NO MORE PHONE BOOKS! - 07/19/11 10:46 PM
No more phone books!  I can't agree with Peggy Chirico more about this.  Can remember when the last time I used one was!  Why not send a post card out that let's people know you are in the printing stages and have them return the card if they want one.

El Dorado Hills Market Statistics - June 2011 - 07/19/11 02:16 AM
El Dorado Hills Market Statistics - June 2011 El Dorado Hills Market Statistics for June 2011 are out.  This month I've decided to break down our statistics based on the three major types of properties currently available - Bank Owned (REO), Short Sale, and Regular Sale (Non REO, Non Short Sale).  I am a firm believer in the theory that "Real Estate" is local and am always trying to prove that to you - my readers and clients.  When you hear or read about real estate news on the country as a whole beware. If you are writing an offer or … (9 comments)

What I Know About Lease Options - 07/13/11 01:04 AM
What I Know About Lease Options I recently had a client ask me about the possibility of doing a lease option here in El Dorado Hills.  What I know about lease options isn't a lot but I think the real estate atmosphere here is very promising so I want to find out and learn as much as I can.  When prices were dropping here, it may have been advantageous to the seller because their price would have been locked but to the buyer they would have already been underwater by the time they purchased the property.  During a time when prices … (15 comments)

A Home's Value is Not Dependent on Your Personal Situation

Builders Warranty - 07/06/11 01:35 AM
What a fantastic idea brought to our attention by home inspectors Brian and Heather Halliday from Temeculla, CA on new homes where the buyer has a builder warranty. There are many things we wouldn't normally realize is not right in a home that a professional home inspector could catch, saving us a lot of potential problems down the road! Thanks Brian and Heather for the great post!

This is a wonderful tribute to our military by Gene Simmons of "Kiss".  Thank you to Rebecca Gaujot for bringing it to our attention. No matter how long this video has been out - it's a great reminder and very appropriate for Independence Day tomorrow!  Enjoy.

Our American Flag - 07/02/11 11:07 PM
Our American Flag A flag is much more than just a light cloth floating in the wind as the dictionary defines it.  A flag is an "honored symbol of a nation's unity, its hopes, achievements, glory, and high resolve".  My family is very patriotic, a value that goes back way before our oldest son joined the US Air Force in September 2003. For father's day this year, my husband wanted a new American Flag to fly on our 25' flag pole.  I was able to go to Flags.com and find not only many flags to choose from but lots of flag … (24 comments)
