Here are some photos for you to look at of our area.The greater Redding area has something for everyone. Yes it gets hot in the summer for a couple months but if it didn't then there would be 400,000 living here instead of the 100,000 that we currently have now. I have been all over the western United States and the only place that I would even consider close to this area for beauty,what it offers etc are parts of Colorado.Parts of Colorado remind me of parts of the north state like up around Mt Shasta and the McCloud area.If you like the outdoors this is a great place to bike,hike,explore and 4x4. The springs and the Fall are my two favorite times here. The Winters are not too bad and the Summers are warm..sometimes very warm. I hope you enjoyed the photo tour of our area that I took f...

Are you behind in your mortgage payments?If you have talked with your Lender and you cannot renegotiate your loan or a "workout", then you may qualify for a short sale. A short sale is where you owe more on your mortgage than your house is worth in today's market. Because we are in a declining real estate market, you may have lost value on your home and be "upside down" on your mortgage. We can still get your home sold. 80% of short sales are successfully accepted by the lender when properly presented. If you have visited your loan officer and he cannot help you because you do not have enough equity in your home, then you may qualify for a short sale. It is important for you understand what your options are at this time. Foreclosure of your home results in a considerable ding to your c...

I am starting a movement to round up all those folks that lie. Alcatraz is currently not in use. We could put them there. Life as we know it here on earth would be better without these people. I hate how long it takes to figure out that you are being lied to. I hate that effort it takes to corner the person and proved that they are lying. As far as I know the only defense against lying is to prove it wrong. It takes a lot of energy and is so negative. Half the time you won't bother and the person gets away with it. For me personally, I'd rather move on. In real estate, you can't do that. If you are working with a agent that is lying, you have to stand up and fight. You are going to have to back him/her in a corner with the lies and you may end up at the board with an ethics charge. I ha...

 It is that time again. Time to remember how fortunate we are and all the things we have to be grateful for. It is also that time to remember those less fortunate. Those far away from home. Those who are homeless. Those elderly who need help. True Thanksgiving comes from the heart and happens each day when we live in the present. No one should be hungry on Thanksgiving day, however. Please remember to take action to help in some way that is important to you.In Redding, the Shasta Board of Realtors, delivers gifts to seniors during the holidays. These are seniors who will not receive a gift during the holidays without this effort. If you wish to donate, please contact the Shasta Board of Realtors at 530 223-0410 or email support@shastamls.com.Contact the Good News Rescue Mission to help ...

Bamboo flooring? I know some of you are thinking what the? But yes there is a great product that has been out for many years but is now pretty much main stream. It is Bamboo flooring.Bamboo is technically a grass not a wood so it lends itself well to adding to your green remodel or build.It is a very hard, strong an stable flooring so many people are very happy with their choice when they go this route.On the Environmental side it's really hard to knock a product such as Bamboo that matures in 3 years,regenerates itself without replanting(Saving labor) requires little to no pesticides or fertilizer and requires little maintenance. The largest species of bamboo has been used for 1000+ years in Asian communities.Most bamboo flooring comes from China. It makes sense since they have been us...

What a night and what a Banquet. Nothing like it for $25.00. Cal De Mercurio really did it here, with a phenominal 5 course dinner with a full description on how to do each course. 3 hours of eating pleasure and I gained 2 lbs. This was a fund raiser for the great Youth for Christ program here in Shasta County, and this was a wonderful way to do it for the 300 in attendance....for everyone in attendance really go the "best food in the North State" prepared by Chef Cal. He is really good.Keep it up Youth for ChristBest Regards, Ron LargentThe Largent Team

If you are having trouble with an adjustable rate mortgage and you cannot make your payments, you may qualify for a short sale. The short sale is becoming an important option for homeowners that are in trouble with the declining market values and a mortgage payment that is difficult. It is important to educate yourself about what options you have. Talk with your mortgage company or bank to see if you can refinance into a loan that is workable for you. If you cannot refinance because your home has lost value in this market and your cannot make your mortgage payments, talk with your lender. You may be able to provide the lender with financial information and negotiate a "workout" program. Talk to your lender. Don't avoid deal with this. Do research on the subject of Short Sales and Forec...

  My father reminded me of the a passage in Hebrews 13 .  "Do not forget hospitality, for some have unknowingly entertained Angel's."  Over the years the wording has changed a bit but coming from a large family my parents always welcomed friends and their families.    My parents home was always the place to gather, my dad a great cook who loved to be in the kitchen, would prepare meals to feed the family and more.  My dad preferred elegant cooking & dining but for everyday it was potato pancakes, spaghetti, hobo stew, meat loaf, macaroni & cheese, all the things that kids and their friends love to eat.  One of the family favorites was potato pancakes, as far back as I can remember my aunts, brothers and sisters were called to the kitchen to help make potato pancakes.  We always started ...

With the market the way it is now is a great time to take advantage of the opportunities out there. There are many ways to save $$ by purchasing a bank repo or a short sale or purchasing at the trustee's sale. Did you know that some people are actually saving up to 30% right now purchasing homes that are in a short sale position?It's not for everyone that is for sure but if you want any additional info on what is available right now in the Shasta County California area let me know.You can also visit my website here now if you want local real estate info for the greater Redding California area of far Northern Cal. Regards, Rick Goates

I know, another post on how wonderful the RAIN is. I continue to be amazed at the level of learning that goes on for me personally. I read posts from newbies on a regular basis and I have to say that there are questions I can answer for them and comments that I can make to encourage them. I think I have moved out of "newbie" status. I was encouraged by one of Jason Crouch's posts recently. He has only been in the RAIN three months. Now that is some progress. I just wanted to express my thanks to people who have been generous and kind during this evolution of mine. I certainly have more to learn and I will still find ways to improve, but I am here to stay. The RAIN has become part of my life and I enjoy it completely. It has been a long couple of months. My husband has only seen me at my...

If you are behind in payments on your mortgage and you cannot refinance because your home is worth less than the amount of money you owe the lender, you may be able to do a "workout" with the lender. This means that the lender may be receptive to looking at your financial situation and if you qualify, they may do one of several workout options.They may recast the loan entirely so that you might go back to your original loan payment or do a new loan entirely. They may do a forbearance and add the payment on the end of the loan and allow you to keep making your payments.  There are options and if you qualify, you may be able to save your home. It is important to talk to the lender and to stay in communication.If you would like to learn more about your options, please visit our website at:...

We enjoy living in Redding and Shasta County. We moved here two and half years ago and we are still smiling. We love Redding and the surrounding areas for there beauty and for the beautiful people we have met and the friendliness of the community. People say "Good Morning" and "Hello".  The city of Redding is charming, friendly and beautiful. The river provides us with that sparkle of freshness that comes from being near strong bodies of water. The Sacramento River is a beautiful and strong river that snakes through our town providing us that instant ability to go "sit by the river" and lose oneself in a good book, a picnic with a lover or family, or to just BE with the river in silence.  The holidays are now upon us and as we approach Thanksgiving, I am grateful for where I live and th...
