He Drives A Desk All Week and A John Deere All Weekend! One of our major goals was to move to the country in our beautiful Carson Valley Nevada where we could have some space; some land and … my childhood dream … own a few horses! Well … dreams do come true … and we have them all! Or, maybe I should say, they have us! Even though it is a labor of love … space, land, and horses (donkeys too!) do come with a few strings! They all need to be attended to and cared for! Here’s a … (7 comments)
Its time to train the coaches. Football is coming and our young Pop Warner athletes will be hitting the fields in the next couple of weeks. Some come with trepidation, can they really do it? Others come with great anticipation ... they've been waiting for the first day of practice since they walked off the field of their last game last season. They will soon be blended in to a wonderful team of Douglas Tigers. … (0 comments)
Summer’s here and in my house that means Jr. Lifeguards daily, tons of sand and sunscreen, loads of pool time and family barbeques, complete with ice cream. The other night my sons and I were enjoying one of those classic ice cream treats called “Drumsticks”. You know the ones … Peanut pieces on top of vanilla ice cream, swirled with chocolate in an old fashion sugarcone. (I forgot how good they were … (3 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)

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!

This was taken from our office window a couple of weeks ago. The feeling was quite ethereal as we got ready for the violence of the storm. It rained, and cleared up, of course. These moments remind us of the power and beauty of Mother Nature. Look around the clouds - they are really three dimensional. The mountain, Jobs Peak, is about 8-9 miles away - this is a very big set of clouds. … (4 comments)

Nevada Realtors Will Soon Be Allowed to Perform BPO's For A Wide Variety of Reasons Here's an excerpt from our Nevada Association of Realtors Weekly Report.

Prior to the passage of this legislation agents in Nevada were limited in the scope of BPO's that we could provide. We were only allowed to prepare BPO's if we were attempting to obtain a listing.

- 06/14/09 05:34 AM
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)
