Well, it is Saturday and I have work to do....but I don't wanna....just need to have a bit of fun. We moved recently into a lovely Frank Lloyd Wright home. It is a 60 year old house with many windows and beautiful woods including lots of built-in wood work. For having downsized...we have so much wonderful storage. We love Vintage and we are certainly living a Vintage lifestyle. It's a good thing and we are enjoying it. This house originally belong to the McConnell Family here in Redding. It was their Summer house and it included the land all around and down to the Sacramento River. We can walk to the River. We have beautiful old growth trees here and we are absolutely in love with them. There are two Coastal Sequoia Redwoods, an Incense Cedar Tree and one of the largest Black Oaks that ...

  Redding CA - Friday Fun - Sharing David Gendron's Photo Art--I use to share some of my husband's work on Sundays but I've decided to change it up a bit and share on Fridays. It is the end of the week and I feel like a change of pace and a little bit of fun! My husband is a photographer and a photo artist. His work is extradinary on many levels and I continue to see and be amazed at his evolution with his work. He joined a group of photographers here in Redding about two years ago. They meet to go over each other work and to share opinions. It is amazing how much this has helped David refine his own work. I think they probably don't quite know what to do with David, but he has made good friends and always enjoys these special nights with good friends and fellow artists/photographers. S...

Have you ever noticed that you've had a conversation with someone and thought there was resolution only to realize later that nothing got clarified and you both walked away with different ideas about what was said. Some days it feels like we live in "little bubbles that bounce around and hit other little bubbles" with no real effect. I recently spent two months working closely with a client to understand how SEO and blogging and the benefits of using Social Media can result in a significant WEB presence for their property. The end result is that we get their property sold for the highest possible price in the shortest period of time. I've sent numerous market stat reports showing all the work we are doing and how many visits...etc...all the usual. It is a higher priced property and so t...

If you are a sushi lover you must try Yama Sushi in Redding The food and service are excellent. You will see the sushi chefs busy preparing the fresh menu items, from the centrally located eating bar, as you enter the restaurant. The sushi bar includes a small water canal that circulates floating gondolas presenting self serve ala carte fare. However patrons will find all other table services excellent even at the bar. There are also meals and tables for more private dining, but most patrons seem to enjoy the atmosphere at the bar.

Located just about an hour away (65 miles) from Redding just off Highway 299 on Highway 89 is McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. High on the eastern boundary of the Cascade Range, the Park sits on the western Modoc pleateau halfway between Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak. The falls' two main flows of plunging white water originate from Burney Creek, a tributary of the Pit River. Theodore Roosevelt pronounced them one of the wonders of the world. The elevation is 3100'. Burney Falls is breath taking and worth a day of adventure. I am Jeanean Gendron, your Redding and Shasta County Specialist. I can be reached at 530 276-7417.

Bank of America has made a considerable effort to promote and to go on record with their commitment to processing short sales for the Consumer. I know that in my office, a Bank of America short sale is a preferred short sale. While Equator has some drawbacks, it remains a solid platform for the agent to interact with the bank and to have as a resource for managing the short sale. I recently had a situation where the necessary documentation was not received in time to be uploaded into the "seller" side of the system. Miscommunication and blurry documents resulted in a missed deadline. I noted a notation on Equator that the file had been closed due to missing documents. I got busy and used Equator to email all of the Short Sale team at Bank of America. One of the best features of this sys...

Roy Kelley inspires me. I love his photography and his flowers. Each time he comes by to comment he leaves a flower. What a nice thing to do. I left him a comment yesterday saying that he so inspired me that I was making a resolution to myself to take photos in my very own garden and start a process of photographing flowers. I love flowers....they are Nature's perfect embrace. While this is a very humble beginning, I am grateful for making it happen on this fine Sunday morning. I should have put a copyright on it...but that can come later. Thank you Roy for your work and the inspiration that it provides. I know this is not really Speechless Sunday.

I use Real Bird! I use Real Bird to market listings and to offer my clients access to listings all over the nation. Looking for foreclosures or even rentals, you can search on Real Bird and view these listings in several different formats. My favorite is the Map format but they are all attractive and nice to present to the Consumer. You can't beat the value of Real Bird. Marketing in these last several years continues to evolve around servicing the Consumer and helping them find what they are searching for. The more I invest in helping with that concept the more leads and business comes my way. Every service I look at to enable the Consumer on my sites must have a ROI factor that works on value and affordability. Real Bird is definitely a keeper for me going forward. I recently noticed ...

I recently contacted an ActiveRain Agent with a short sale referral. A Seller in their market contacted me about short sale advice. We spent about 30 minutes on the phone and I offered to help them find a seasoned short sale Agent. ActiveRain is a wonderful resource for helping clients in this manner. You learn about other members through their posts and you perceive the obvious level of their knowledge. It just so happened that I knew an Agent that was a seasoned Short Sale Agent for that market and it was very rewarding to send that referral on to the Agent. I put in a call and connected with the Agent and sent the referral via email. The Agent promised to stay in touch. That has been two months ago and I've never heard back from the Agent. I would guess the deal did not come together...

Redding CA - Short Sale Advice - Careful Who You Talk To--I was on Trulia Voices over the weekend and one of the questions being answered by a number of Realtors/Real Estate Agents was about Short Sales. I was amazed at how many agents were giving legal and financial advice. The question of whether a short sale is the best alternative to foreclosure depends upon a person's situation. Because it has ramifications on a legal and financial basis, the question can only be answered from a fragmented approach. As consultants in real estate, we as agents find it difficult when non-professionals give real estate advice or mislead with conjecture. The same is true of the other professional fields. I would not go to an attorney to learn about a medical problem. As we learn and grow in this world,...

Redding Location, Location, Relocation. Every student of real estate knows value is based primarily on location. During the real estate bubble of recent years many investors, and home buyers in general, were attracted to the great values found in Redding Homes. After the market's correction a renewed interest has risen. Those who enjoy statistics will find that Reddings cost of living is approximately 93% of the national average. Out of area visitors should be prepared to experience the regions rich natural amenities as well.

Memories of Route 66 (a TV series....dating myself here...I can barely remember it) only we are on The 299 and heading East. Fall River Mills is a small town of charm and beauty about an hour and half from Redding on The 299. On the way to Alturas, one finds "The Hat Creek" and The Pit River. This river community has much to offer. The Hat Creek is known for some of the best Fly Fishing in the Western US. Winds through our county and is available throughout the Eastern perimeter. Further along we come to MacArthur, CA a farming valley with impressive views of Mount Shasta. The Mountain appears to be a "Heavenly Being" hanging over this blessed valley protecting and standing guard. This farming community is protected and has the feeling of having been passed by. Everything is slower and...
