sonoma real estate: Top 10 Reasons to Live in Sonoma
- 03/28/09 06:57 AM
Reason #10 The terrific coffee shops on the Plaza. Enjoy coffee and a pastry or award winning breads at the Basque Boulangerie or go to the Sunflower Cafe and sit in their awesome garden for breakfast or lunch (bring your dog if you want or your laptop because they have free high speed wireless internet). I have enjoyed many a morning at these 2 spots. You can spend hours chatting with friends in the back garden at the Sunflower Cafe and forget about the world outside or sit outside the Basque and watch the world go by.

sonoma real estate: Feeling "Blogged up" in Sonoma
- 01/13/08 04:58 AM
When I first heard about Active Rain and blogging I thought I would blog right away and on a regular basis. I hit the blocks running and ...then...phew....that was it. So, here is my attempt to get through the blog clog and flow once again. I am sitting in our office on the Plaza in Sonoma, CA watching the cars and people go by. Even though it is somewhat chilly the door is ajar to invite all the home buyers into the office. Any second now they will all come pouring in and I'll have to abruptly end this blog. There … (2 comments)
sonoma real estate: New Barrier Free Playground Ribbon Cutting in Sonoma, CA
- 08/31/07 12:40 PM
Yesterday the ribbon was cut on a new, barrier free playground in Sonoma, CA at the Sonoma Charter School. The school needed a new playground and began talking about ideas. A parent expressed an idea to replace the existing structure with a playground for children of all abilities. Principal, Nora Flood, ran with this idea and the result is the Harmony Playground for children of all ages and abilities. School parents and volunteer community members spent countless hours organizing and erecting the playground. The playground is used by the school during normal school hours and is open to the entire community at … (2 comments)
sonoma real estate: Can you help me spend my money?
- 08/27/07 04:50 PM
I would love some feedback from the seasoned pros on Active Rain as to which is the smartest way they've used their money to promote themselves. Was it ads in the local paper, Internet, shopping carts, giveaways? I am at a place right now where I want to use some money for promoting myself, but being new means I don't have tons to throw around. I know that I have to spend money to make money. Any help would be greatly appreciated. … (6 comments)
sonoma real estate: Closing day for escrow, or is it?
- 08/16/07 03:14 PM
Well, today I was suppose to close escrow on a property. All the paperwork had been completed when I got a call this morning from the other agent saying we need an addendum taking one of the buyers off of the contract! What?! Apparantly the lender didn't want one of the 2 buyers listed on the contract because he was not essential to the loan. And they waited until today because...? So instead of enjoying a nice glass of wine and putting up my feet, I am in limbo hoping that this sale actually does go through tomorrow and not fall … (2 comments)
sonoma real estate: Any Recourse for Buyers in Sonoma?
- 08/14/07 05:01 PM
I have friends who bought a house that just closed last week. It was an "as is" sale that was a foreclosure. This week when they ripped up the carpet to replace it, they found that the subfloors were mostly ruined by urine saturation and need to be replaced. Do they have any recourse or do they just have to deal with it? … (4 comments)
