tahoe: The minimum you need to know about the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center - 04/07/16 05:47 AM
When it comes to vision and execution of industrial development, nobody does it better than the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRIC). Over 30,000 acre usable land designated for only industrial development, no residential.
Do to the fact that this mega-site is designated purely for industrial use in Story County, NV - just 10 miles from Reno, NV - they are able to offer lightning speed permit and construction time-line.
Is time your essence? Is your competition still in the planning phase?
You don't have to be. At TRIC (no trick) you can start site preparation within 7 days and start building in 30 days. Oh, are … (1 comments)

tahoe: Reno Spring Weather is Unpredictable - 03/28/16 02:50 AM
Last Saturday, as I was out and about door knocking and putting out fliers, I ran into many homeowners coming home from the garden centers with plants and spring gardening tools, pots, seeds and else.
The weather was partially cloudy, in the mid 60's temperature. Perfect for walking the neighborhoods. The light breeze felt good, but it was the indicator of approaching weather. Our local and the national weather channels were telling residents that we will have rain on Monday. Well, it is somewhat true:
It was raining until 5 am this morning, when it switched over to snow. Thus far, it snowed at least 6 … (2 comments)

tahoe: When to list your home? Can you afford competition? - 03/28/16 12:06 AM
After door knocking and talking with hundreds of home owners, it appears that many people are set to list their home during the spring or may even wait after school to be over. Some secretly, or outspokenly, think that prices will be even higher during the spring. But what they don't consider is market trends and activity.
Why does market trend matters for home sellers?
Just briefly, the current Reno/Sparks real estate market has less than two months inventory. Even less below the price range of $400,000. Average home prices in the area are rapidly rising due to multiple offers - resulting in … (3 comments)

tahoe: Networking with Yelp - 03/22/16 01:52 AM
You never know what works until you try things. So was I exploring Yelp to provide restaurant and business reviews.
It so happened that I posted a profile picture with my Newfies. One day, I received a private Yelp message that someone also has two Newfies up in Lake Tahoe in Zephyr Cove, NV - a brown and a black puppy brothers. If you are familiar with Newfoundlands, you might know that having brown color Newfies is a somewhat rare occurrence. Very few Newfie breathers have brown pups, and even with brown mom and dad, the puppies might be black dependent on … (2 comments)

tahoe: Heavenly Newfie Attractions - 03/22/16 01:19 AM
The Heavenly Mountain Resort in Lake Tahoe Nevada is a a destination for people from all around the world. I have met people from India, Argentina, Germany, China and many other nations. But it is not I, who made it happen. Well, maybe indirectly.
If I haven't mentioned it in my past blog posts, I have two Newfoundlands - a brown and a black puppy. Every time we walk them in busy public areas, we often just end up standing or sitting still while people admire and take pictures with our pups. It is not bragging, in fact sometimes it is overwhelming. … (4 comments)

tahoe: Housing Needed in Reno NV, Land Available High and Low - 03/16/16 11:07 AM
With rapidly improving economic environment, the Northern Nevada real estate market is hot.
Developers, who years ago halted construction, are now back and building again, unable to keep up with demand.
Demand is equally high for buying and renting single-family homes and condominiums.
With such a high demand, not only property values, but also rental rates are rising.
More housing needed.
Just recently, I visited a close to 400 Acre available land, high above the valley to the east. The location is lovely, with great view, varied elevations, and close proximity to shopping and Downtown Reno:

If you or someone you know is interested in residential, commercial or mixed … (0 comments)

When looking for a luxury property in the Reno/Sparks area, you may think of the following communities: Galena Forest, Montreux, St. James' Village, Arrowcreek or else.

tahoe: Emotions in a real estate transaction can be costly - 02/01/16 06:52 AM
Are you a first time home buyer? Or, are you selling your first or long time family home? Maybe you are selling for a reason beyond your control.
You will likely become emotional during the transaction. Regardless of receiving an offer, or your offer is being accepted by the seller, you will likely experience a variety of emotions that could lead to costly decisions. In a haste of accepting an offer or trying to purchase a home, you may fail to look at all the important details in the contract, which could: directly effect your sale/purchase price; your net earnings (seller); or … (4 comments)
