SACRAMENTO'S D.A.R.T. TEAM - THEY NEED US MORE THAN EVER! - 07/31/09 11:47 PM
We are fortunate to have an agent in our Land Park office who also volunteers his time for D.A.R.T. (Drowning Accident Rescue Team). These amazing people give of their time, energy and expense to dive into the murky waters of the Sacramento River or the cold, unpredictable waters of the American River to try to save those who are in danger of drowning, or who have already drowned but have not been found.
You would think that this type of service would be funded by the police or sherrif, the city or the county, since that is who calls them when the … (3 comments)

WHAT DO YOU DO???????????????????????????????????????????????? - 07/27/09 11:45 PM
So here I am, accepted offer, 5 ready and willing buyers, seller happy with the results, and it looks like I am going to have to pull the property off the market for 3 months and hope for some comparables to close in the meantime that help us.
In a matter of 36 hours, I put a property on the market and had 5 offers, 4 over the asking price. We accepted the highest price and put the second highest offer in back up position. The first buyer backed out strickly out of cold feet. The second one wants the property … (17 comments)

SACRAMENTO'S FAIRYTALE TOWN CELEBRATING 50 YEARS!!! - 07/20/09 11:05 PM
My memories of Fairytale Town? Let's see...loved the Crooked Mile, so wanted my birthday party at the Castle (not a great idea in January) and being chased by a goose that I am sure was 10 feet tall! Now I get to help create some memories for my granddaughters...how fun is that?
Fairytale Town was opened in 1959 and has been a Sacramento destination for children and adults alike since. You can even join their Twitter Group for updates on chick hatchings, set improvements and field trips.
There are some truly remarkable trivia about the wonderful playground for children. All of … (9 comments)

PLAYING LOST AND FOUND WITH MY JOY - 07/17/09 01:19 PM
I am normally a fairly optimistic, positive person. However, those of you who chat with me here on the Rain may have noticed a change in attitude. I have been whining, complaining, ranting...well, you get the idea.
In my funk the other night, I wrote another rant. Granted, it was probably one of my most challenging real estate days...but that's no excuse.
Then I paused, just for a moment, and realized...I had lost my joy. I needed to go on a scavenger hunt and find it. And I did!
Do you know how? I looked at the other side. Yes...I had … (14 comments)

WAIT! LOOK! PAY ATTENTION! - 07/08/09 08:59 AM
I woke up this morning a little earlier than usual. But then, the light was just starting to stream through the windows and the promise of accomplishing a few tasks kept me awake. Finally, I surrendered to the day and got up. I "putzed" (as my grandmother use to call it), filling the dog's cookie jar, enlarging my daily Sudoku so I could actually read it, tossing a few Coke cans left over from the night before.
Then I realized...I wasn't paying attention. For example, a few weeks ago I wondered what happened to the birds that use to warble their … (8 comments)

DAVIS RANCH...WORTH THE DRIVE FROM SACRAMENTO! - 07/07/09 09:56 AM
While farmers markets are becoming more and more popular, some may wonder why they should drive all the way out to Sloughhouse to get their veggies and fruits. After all, don't all farmers market have pretty much the same things?
NOPE! Take the drive out to Davis Ranch to find out the difference.
My most recent visit was on the 4th of July...and wouldn't you think that it would be a bit slow or that Davis Ranch would have shortened their hours in favor of the holiday? Not only were they open, they were swamped! We drove by the first time … (10 comments)

A DAY LATE AND $10,000 SHORT IN CALIFORNIA HOME PURCHASES - 07/03/09 10:51 AM
California has had a great program to promote new homes. First time home buyers could purchase a brand new home and receive a $10,000 credit from the state as an incentive to act now. It is was a great opportunity to lower the overall cost of purchasing a home and gave a great reason to purchase now.
The opportunity disappeared as of midnight last night. Those who had hoped to take advantage of this offer will no longer have such a great credit.
That fence that so many buyers are sitting on is disintegrating fast. This credit is gone and as of December 1st, … (7 comments)

On June 27th, the Land Park Community Association hosted the 1st Annual Picnic in the Park! Thanking our neighbors for their ongoing efforts on behalf of the Land Park neighborhood was the inspiration for the event.
In keeping with the setting, the picnic was an old-fashioned, ice cream eating, apple pie contest, family oriented experience. Live guitar music supplied the background for fun, chatting and games. The children enjoyed face painting, Go Fish, sack races, croquet, golf and so much more! Adults had a few contest as well.
Over 100 families joined in the fun, even in over 100 … (7 comments)

THERE IS A RIGHT WAY TO PURCHASE THE PERFECT HOME... - 07/02/09 12:38 AM
It is such an exciting time, when all of the saving and sacrificing finally pays off. The search for a home begins.
It is a fact that most homebuyers now search on the internet for their home before they ever contact a Realtor. Searching on the internet or going to open houses results in a more savvy and informed buyer and is a positive step in the home buying process.
However, there is an initial, more important step that should not be ignored. Talking with a lender is vital in an intelligent, directed search for a home. A buyer should know, from … (2 comments)
