sacramento real estate: Bringing it Back to Sac - 11/17/09 08:10 PM

Now that I’m back from my fun in the sun (not really, it was actually cloudy and I was inside anyway!) in San Diego, I’ve had a chance to absorb all the great things I learn.
Contrary to how fun it may seem to zip off to the sea shore, … (0 comments)

sacramento real estate: Back in Sac! - 11/16/09 04:25 PM
There is no doubt I learned a lot the past five days. I took a trip down to beautiful San Diego to learn more about how I can help my clients in Sacramento. This real estate convention, hosted by the National Association of Realtors, pulled in about 6,000 Realtors, if you … (0 comments)

sacramento real estate: Are You Like Rudy? - 10/27/09 02:17 PM
When I used to teach English to college kids, one of the things I did each course was show the movie, Rudy, the story of a kinda small kid who ate, lived and slept Notre Dame football. All he wanted, with all his heart and soul, was to play for the … (7 comments)

sacramento real estate: Sacramento Online Publication Leads the Way - 10/26/09 05:46 PM
There’s a new kid in town and we better pay attention. The Sacramento Press is making headway in a big way and I’m completely sold on the concept. The Press is an all online newspaper that focuses on local news for those of us who reside in Sacramento and the surrounding … (0 comments)

sacramento real estate: Understanding Fixers - 10/07/09 06:16 PM
If I could count the number of times I heard a buyer say, "...and I don't mind a fixer," I would be a very wealthy woman. Truth is, most of us wouldn't mind a fixer of some kind. After all, it's an age-old real estate truth that the best buy is … (1 comments)

sacramento real estate: Homeowner Radio Show is a Must-Hear - 09/25/09 01:04 PM
I was pleased as pie earlier this week when Allen Lyle contacted me to ask me to be a guest on his and Danny Lipford's radio show, The Homefront Radio Show.  Honored, of course, that a radio show that's nationally syndicated to more than 250 radio stations wanted my lil' ol' … (0 comments)

sacramento real estate: Someone Stole the Carpet?! - 09/21/09 06:24 PM
I’ve been in this business a long time and I’ve seen a lot of crazy things, from wild Peacocks chasing me out of a backyard to foreclosed properties with the sink missing. I know when people lose their homes, it’s a very emotional event, and my heart always goes out to … (2 comments)

sacramento real estate: Fun With Fico - 09/10/09 05:05 PM
If you listen to my radio show (and I sure hope you do!) you will hear the first few minutes with myself and my segment co-host, Ed “The Money Man” Wacaster talking about the real estate market. While our focus in on the Sacramento market, clearly the show and out discussions … (2 comments)

sacramento real estate: Labor Day in Sacramento (not what you think!) - 09/06/09 03:49 PM
An interesting story to share with you. Twenty-one years ago this Labor Day, I was indeed in labor with my lovely daughter, Nichole. Nichole was definitely not in any hurry to enter this world either! After a very uncomfortable record-hot Sacramento summer and a grueling 18-hours of labor, the poor little … (6 comments)

sacramento real estate: The Buck Stops Here! - 09/03/09 03:41 PM
So I’m on my gotta-get-away-from-these-phones lunch-time bike ride today at Ancil Hoffman Park in Carmichael, thinking about real estate (duh!). Just as I’m rounding the corner of the golf course, no more than 20 feet away, I spy two bucks that my hunting-husband would have drooled over. It seems to be … (1 comments)

sacramento real estate: Sacramento Shift? - 08/24/09 04:07 PM
 Having weathered the hot summer, it seems that there’s more cooling off in Sacramento real estate.
Earlier, I was writing offers left and right and getting rejections in all the same directions…but lo an behold, I am seeing a shift. In fact, I kid you not that I have gotten three … (0 comments)

sacramento real estate: Building Your Buying Muscle - 08/20/09 12:28 PM
In my recent efforts to up my endurance and strength on my mountain bike, I started going back to the Gym, Cal Fit in Carmichael, to subject myself to the merciless class known as X-bike. Doesn’t the name  just say it all?
Here’s what happened. My dad died a year ago … (49 comments)

sacramento real estate: FHA and Other Bedtime Stories - 08/18/09 12:15 PM
Traditionally, FHA was an undesirable loan for sellers to consider when offers were made by buyers who were FHA qualified. The good news is that FHA is no longer the “F” word it used to be, but, alas, there are still some things we need to remember when making offers with … (2 comments)

Let’s face it, when it comes to buying a house in this market, it’s a jungle out there. Buying  a house in Sacramento right now requires one to have the right tools and knowledge.

sacramento real estate: He Says We've Already Hit Bottom.... - 07/22/09 02:39 PM
Last week’s show was great (www.InLoveWithSacto.com). As always, I started talking to Ed “The Money Man” Wacaster (I gave him the nickname, but so far, he hasn’t complained!) Ed knows a lot about lending. So much so, that I feel really positive about sending any and all buyers his way…even if … (1 comments)

sacramento real estate: Another Crazy Weekend In Sacramento Real Estate! - 07/20/09 06:11 PM
 
Image by lizohanesian via Flickr I tell ya, real estate keeps getting crazier and crazier and I sometimes think I might be addicted to it! Maybe I should find some kind of a 12-step program? (”My name is Tamara and I’m a real estate agent”).
Well for those of … (2 comments)
