"This resolution really won't change anything. It doesn't create any easement as nothing is granted by the property owners. Since the owners haven't executed the document it can't be indexed to them and therefore there is no constructive notice. Since the Resolution describes only the specific lots that are affected, it will be posted to those properties, only, in the title plant. As with the original Resolution, many examiners will not pick up the Resolution, but competent examiners will pick it up and show the effect of the document in some way."  Asst.

Perspicuity, I was introduced to this word again while helping my 16 year old preparing for a vocabulary test. Perspicuity – means - plain speaking; exactness. I had one of the most memorable moments of my career last weekend while showing homes. First a little back-ground on my clients: They are first time buyers and I have been working with this couple for over a year. I’ll bet we must have looked at 50 – 75 homes - made a couple of offers, countless emails and phone calls back and forth but nothing really worked. So last Saturday, we all embarked on our mission of looking at several new homes on the market with the attitude of, “Okay let’s have a look.” The second house we looked at – well, it was something… its hard to really describe the feeling… but everything lined up perfectly a...

Can I sell my house if I have no equity? In short, the answer is yes? The property could be located in Ruby Hill, Golden Eagle, Blackhawk, The Preserve, Alamo, San Ramon, Castlewood, Danville, Livermore or Dublin. The events are the same regardless of location. If a home owner is upside-down on his/her mortgage, i.e. the home is worth less than what is owed and behind in payments, an alternative exists. A person in this situation has two choices, sell short the property or let the bank foreclose. Why go through the effort of selling your home, you might ask? To save your credit!! Having a short sale noted on your credit report, looks better to creditors than a foreclosure. A short sale note on the credit report says to the lender, you went through the effort whereas the foreclosure ind...

I can't say enough to tell you how good the doctors are. In early 2000, another veterinarian diagnosed my Scottish Terrier (Holly) with a physical condition and wanted me to sign up for $4,000 in surgery. A consultation at Danville Veterinary Clinic revealed that she suffered from Scotty's Cramps, a neurological disease common to the breed (that was not treatable by surgery). Fast forward, today our 2-year old Scottish Terrier, Missy MacGregor, is now insured through the same clinic...no tests, no examinations, no laborious forms, no long list of deductibles and exclusions. Folks, it just doesn't' get any better than this. If your four-legged friend is the child in your life, check out Danville Veterinary Clinic.Danville Veterinary Clinic , 812 Camino Ramon, Danville, CA 94526Phone (925...

When was the last time you felt like simply strolling in a supermarket? Never? Quite so, if you've never been to Lunardi's. Founder Alfredo Lunardi's philosphy is "We can explain our prices, but we don't ever want to have to justify our quality." It's visible and it creates a unique supermarket experience that's so hard to describe.Coming in the Danville store's north entrance, your first view is of the gourmet olive bar, salad & vegetable bar, none of which are pedestrian offerings. Perched invitingly amidst, you'll find specialty crackers and wine selections just begging to go home with your salad or olive selection.

Bridges Restaurant & Bar, a charming casually elegant restaurant in downtown Danville belongs on your list of places to go for a memorable meal, or a relaxed "Happy Hour". The executive chef, Kevin Gin, brings over 20 years of experience and proudly offers his interpretations of California-American cuisine with influences of Europe and Asia. The wine list ranging from affordable wines from local vintners to wines that can only be found in the finest restaurants in San Francisco The dinner menu is filled with complex selections that are far more interesting than the average meal in a restaurant. I recently ordered the Sauteed Maine Day Boat Sea Scallops with Red Wine Demi, served on herbed mashed potatoes with asparagus, pearl onions and Applewood smoked bacon. The scallops were tender a...

Let's count our blessings. We have a fast-food burger joint serving fresh food made the old-fashioned way in the adjoining town of San Ramon. For those that don't travel a lot, you may not know how very, very lucky we are. IN-N-OUT has locations in only three states, California, Nevada and Arizona. Frankly, my east coast children and spouses direct me to IN-N-OUT as a first stop after picking them up at the airport. There really is nothing like a burger made from fresh, not frozen beef and french fries made from fresh pototoes, cut right in the store. IN-N-OUT  Burgers was founded in 1948 and remains privately owned.You can feel good about purchasing fresh food from IN-N-OUT Burgers as they give back to the communities they are located in via donations directed to help abused and neglec...

Wow! Give Taryn Bruner an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10Found myself looking for a new hair stylist recently so I went online to investigate my options. What else would any self-respecting blogger do? Tribez Salon looked like a clear-cut winner as I found many positive posts about the salon. One in particular just raved about Taryn Bruner. Seemed almost like synchronicity as my maiden name is Bruner.Noon today I arrive at the shop and enter with trepidation. It's been years since I walked out of a salon feeling like a million bucks. Seeing the Diablo Magazine "Best of the East Bay 2006" poster made me feel a bit more at ease. I signed in and was offered a seat, very comfortable I might add. As I sat there I felt the energy flowing about the stylists and their customers. There in front of me w...

A past client contacted me to lease his property and I verbally took the listing site unseen. When I opened the door to the property, the strong smell of cigarette smoke hit me in the face. I called the client and suggested we contract with ServiceMaster and some other companies to get quotes to remove the odor as it was not in "rentable condition". His chosen solution was to go online and look for the cheap solution. And you know what? It worked! This is what we did. We went to the Dollar Tree and purchased a large package of styrofoam bowls (32) for $1. We went to the grocery and purchased a half gallon of white vinegar. Next, we placed bowls about 1/4 full everywhere in this 1,300 square foot home. [Use more bowls, more vinegar in a larger home] I went back in 3 days and the air smel...
