real estate: What's up with California fire insurance?
- 09/27/23 08:18 PM
As everyone is aware we have our share of problems with insurance in California, but I was surprised at how insurance companies in their effort to get out of California, are actually cancelling good customers. Here is a perspective from an insurance broker I spoke to recently! And some good advice on what not to do! This post is part of the #30dayrealestatesocialmediachallenge and is for day 24 of The 30-Day Real Estate Social Media Challenge: “Share an opinion or perspective on a hot topic or trend in the world of real estate.”

real estate: Mo Anderson
- 09/27/23 08:16 PM
When I came to Keller Williams Realty, years ago, I was lucky enough to meet Mo Anderson at a couple of events. She is an amazing woman with an amazing story. She is the daughter of a poor tenant farmer from Oklahoma. And she became CEO of one of the largest real estate franchises in the world! Listening to her at KW Family Reunions and KW Mega Camp was always so inspirational. She truly inspires so many people to be not only better agents, but better people. She has been an inspiration to me since I came to Keller Williams in

real estate: A Note of Appreciation
- 09/27/23 08:12 PM
I have been blessed with so many clients over the years who have used me over and over or who have referred me to friends and family. I have 2 clients who I am sure have closed more transactions with me than any others and have also referred me to friends and family through the years. Both of these clients were honored at our Client Appreciation Party last year. Each of them have either bought and sold or referred me to family and friends over 14 times in the past 10+ years. I

- 09/27/23 09:30 AM
We'd love it if you'd LIKE this video, and SUBSCRIBE to our channel! If you own a couple of houses as investments and think you’re pretty money-savvy, here’s what I’ll tell you. Especially in recent years, you’ve had a fantastic run. But if you don’t wanna deal with maintaining multiple homes anymore, or your priorities are shifting right now, it may be a good time to sell. Here’s why. The last few years have been record-breaking in a lot of ways, especially for inventory, home prices, and equity. For starters, the supply of homes for sale hit rock bottom.

real estate: Should she become a Realtor?
- 09/27/23 06:08 AM
Unfortunately I don't have a video to post today for this challenge so instead I will tell you about a time I gave advice to a client of mine, who became a very successful real estate agent. She was a teacher at the time and had been in the teaching profession for many years. She had seemed to come to a time in her life that she was not enjoying teaching any longer and she wanted my advice about going into real estate. We had lunch and talked about real estate. The good, the bad and more specifically why she thought real

real estate: Real Estate can be challenging
- 09/26/23 04:35 PM
There can be so many obstacles and challenges in the real estate industry, that I'm not sure where to start... This is for day 20 of The 30-Day Real Estate Social Media Challenge: “Share a challenge or obstacle that you faced or overcame as a real estate agent or real estate-related industry professional.” Ok, just a few random thoughts... That buyer who decided to purchase a car right before closing escrow. The seller who thinks they know more than me about pricing their home. The termite report that came in at $20,000 because of termites and beetles. The tenant that decided not to move out of the house within

real estate: My favorite activity - vacation!
- 09/23/23 02:35 PM
Each year since I was 17 I have gone on vacation in the summer to Santa Cruz. It started with going with my future inlaws and then once my husband and I got married, we decided to make this a yearly tradition with our children. Our daughters have gone each summer of their lives, one is now 40 and the other 32! And we now take our grandchildren with us. It's the best week of the year for me always! This is a photo of me with our youngest granddaughter, Raegan on Blacks Beach just outside of the home we rented for

real estate: Blogs I Follow
- 09/23/23 08:20 AM
Definitely my favorite blog in the Sacramento area is by appraiser, Ryan Lundquist. It's called Sacramento Appraisal Blog. At all times it's important for Realtors to stay up to date on the market, but especially when times are changing such as now. I run stats myself weekly and I always have feelings about the market (after 35 years in real estate) but I love seeing or hearing another professional's opinion. Ryan also lets us share this information with our clients and on social media, which I much appreciate. I have found that it helps sometimes with certain clients to give them the

real estate: My Favorite Tool for Real Estate Marketing
- 09/21/23 01:38 PM
Canva has got to be my favorite tool I use for creating content for social media posting as well as creating flyers, announcements, and our quarterly magazine. Here are a couple of examples of the content we created using Canva for social media. This first one is the cover for a series for an Instagram post. And this one is the cover to one of our Quarterly magazines to our clients. I don't know how we would do all of this without Canva any more. We use it every day and we do use the Pro version. It has a lot more options

Your life is changing and... maybe so should your home! Here are the TOP 5 life changes that usually mean it's time for a new address. First on the list, expanding the family.

real estate: Inexpensive Upgrades To Make To Your Home
- 09/18/23 10:22 AM
Small, but mighty! That’s what we’re going to talk about today! Most people focus on major upgrades to their home when they want to spruce it up. But we’re not talking about kitchen remodels or new decks today. Let’s talk about small, inexpensive ways you can breathe new life into your house! 1: Swap out fixtures in your kitchen and bathrooms. Things like cabinet door pulls, shower heads, and faucets are all instant tells of how old your house is.

real estate: Accomplishments in real estate
- 09/17/23 12:08 PM
I am very proud of a couple of things that I have achieved in my real estate career.. I have made Sacramento Association of Realtors Master's club every year that I have sold real estate! My first year of real estate in 1987, I made Master's Club! This was a huge accomplishment in my first year. I became an Outstanding Life Member approximately 10 years later (I took 2 years off of real estate during this time). It has always meant a lot to me to be recognized as one of the top Realtors in the area. I also was a Member of

real estate: Video of Camden Passage through the Seasons
- 09/17/23 12:04 PM
My favorite neighborhood in Elk Grove is Camden Passage. I love living in this community! My husband and I have lived in this community for almost 34 years now! We love the lake, the trails, the community events and most of all the feeling of community that is present all the time! For this post I went back and found an old video that I had created many years ago...probably about 10 or 12. It's one of the first videos I made for YouTube! This has motivated me to make a new one this year as there will be a lot
