Happy Thanksgiving…!!

Comments Off  | 

From Ralph Waldo Emerson

For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

We are hitting hurdles in buying first home. We got a short sale home & have to close escrow next week.!!

Comments Off  | 

Our loan processor is not responding.   The initial escrow date they gave us was 3 weeks.   We could not get hold of the loan processor.    Is there any thing we can do to extend out escrow date …?  How does it work please let me know…

Is is “panic” time…?    I don’t think so.   This was a question asked by a first time home buyer on Trulia.com

Take a look at what I and other professionals had to say about this kind of situation by CLICKING HERE.

Make it a Great Day….

Can Tenant Move in Videos Save an Owner Money…?

1 comment  | 

Tenant Tries to Blame the Owner for a Bad Shower Enclosure that She Broke.

We manage a Duplex which had a pretty nice shower enclosure broken by a tenant that now needs to be replaced.  She claimed her daughter just leaned on it and it then fell and broke in pieces.    She further told one of the ladies in our office that it was “already taped up” and defective when she moved in and did not feel responsible for it’s replacement.

Click the video below and pay particular attention to the Shower Enclosure.

I don’t think this is “normal were and tear” do you..? I mean just because you don’t own this property doesn’t mean you don’t have some responsibility to exercise reasonable care of it.

Now you know and I know the Landlord/Tenant laws seem to always defer in favor of the tenant.    Therefore this is the reason you see Landlords and Property Managers forming “trade groups” like the Regional Housing Association of Sacramento and the California Apartment Association to become “more professional” in dealing with tenants.

If this tenant doesn’t pay for the cost of this shower enclosure,  we will deduct the cost of replacement  out of her “security deposit” when she moves.      Now the question is…  if she decides to takes us to small claims court will the Judge rule in our favor…?  I don’t know because you never know what a Judge will do… but I think my chances are much better because I have this “move in video”  with her in it.

What do you think…?

Make it a Great Day…

There’s Something About Fall in Folsom, California

Comments Off  | 

We’ve have had some unusual but great weather this year with an above average amount of rain.    And, now that Fall has arrived, we’ve had some perfect weather that brings out the colors of the season.

I gotta tell you, when I moved to Folsom back in 1989, I don’t remember seeing this much color because just about all of  the neighborhoods were new.   Because the neighborhoods were new homes,  the trees were  small and had not matured like they have now.

So now that I’ve been here for over 22 years, it’s not just me that’s that aged and matured.    As you will see in this slide show of the area,  we now have a suburban area with an abundance of mature trees that give our town even more character and makes us unique in my opinion.

I took these pictures over the last couple of days.

Click here for a slide show taken at various areas around town.

Make it a Great Day…!!
