Thanks And Gratitude For This Time Of Year
Thanks And Gratitude For This time Of Year! It’s time for thankful reflections of gratitude. We are thankful for the continued ultra low interest rates that are enabling many to buy a home. We are thankful for Confident Buyers and Realistic Sellers. Real estate Agents that are helping Buyers and Sellers gain perspective to navigate these challenging times and not whining as they help them accomplish their goals.
We are thankful for the opportunity that young families can achieve and enjoy the American Dream of home ownership due to today’s low prices. For the amazing loan programs available that allow for a magical buying experience. The fine standards of practice in the Northern Nevada real estate industry including escrow officers, lenders, inspectors, as well as Agents. Together we have a wonderful service oriented community of true professionals that help and protect the public as they should. We are grateful to have such quality professional peers to work with.
We are thankful for the scenic beauty and wonderful people of our communities. The life enhancing opportunities available for our children such as Pop Warner football and cheer leading and the many other superb youth organizations filled with great civic-minded volunteers. We are thankful that the Youth are still and always important in our communities, and that Values are respected and a way of life for most. We are thankful for our many Seniors that stay active in the community and impart their experience and wisdom so we don’t lose our way.
The plentiful water we had this year is cause for thanks. The Valley was green well into Fall, and the crops abundant. We are thankful for the many community events where we play and celebrate together. That we can enjoy free concerts and movies in the park, parades, Wine Walks, and more communal activities where we visit with friends and make new ones. That people still stop to help one another. People still say hello to strangers with a smile. Drivers are courteous – let you in rather than cut you off. The right to vote and the many freedoms we enjoy in this great country of ours.
Our Advice: We are especially thankful for the incredible strength and support of our amazing
community as we suffered the passing of a loved one this year. We are eternally grateful for the love we needed and received during this incredibly trying time.
Be thankful for your health, your family and your community. Be thankful for the strength and understanding to carry on when you have a hiccup in the well-being of one of the above. Be thankful for the ability to learn the lessons coming to you during such times, and the good that will result. Every cloud has a silver lining … every cloud.
Be an example of gratitude and be thankful for what is … not resentful for what isn’t. The real estate market is what it is today, not what it was yesterday, or what it will be tomorrow. Be thankful you can establish your priorities and keep the reality of real estate challenges you might be encountering in perspective – its only money and, thankfully, you can get that back. You can’t get back health and the time with your family so keep both strong and plentiful and be thankful that you can.
Maintain a grateful awareness year ‘round and you’ll find much sweetness in your life. These are the good old days!

You’ve negotiated a great price on a home and you’re ready to buy … Stop and Think Of Selling When Buying A Home. It has everything you want right now in a home, but is it a good investment? To be a good investment, it should not only serve your wants and needs well while you live in it, but it should also be something that makes financial sense when you sell. As you find and buy a home you should always think about how you are going to get out of it. Will it be relatively easy to sell when you are ready to sell it?
home before you buy it. Many folks retiring to our area figure they are buying their last home. When the subject of resale comes up they laugh it off as unnecessary. Things ... we call it "Life" ... happen, however, and resale must always be considered regardless of current intentions. Even if you aren’t subject to moving because of employment circumstances any more, there are many other factors that can come in to play, i.e.- health, family, personal interests, etc. that can necessitate an unexpected move.
Our Advice … Stop and Think Of Selling When Buying A Home! 
“If you list with me I have a Buyer for your home.” Does that Agent not have a Buyer if they don’t list with her? What does that tell you about the Agent? If she truly had a Buyer that she thought the home was perfect for wouldn’t she show it to the Buyer because it is the right home for them? By not showing them the home for her own personal reasons is she really working for that Buyer? The reality is that 99.9% of the time there is no Buyer, just an empty promise.
effective in Nevada on October 1st. The SRPD form used in most residential real estate transactions has several noteworthy changes. The first is on page one of the four page form where the option of a Seller declaring exemption per terms of NRS113.130(2) has been removed. In its place are options to declare the type of Seller, i.e.- Bank (Financial Institution), Asset Management Company, Owner-Occupier, or Other and a blank to fill in.
Our Advice: Sellers - always, always, always…“when in doubt disclose”. Buyers, be sure to read the SRPD. There are legal rights available to you if the Seller doesn’t provide a disclosure, or is fraudulent with what they do or don’t disclose. Penalties can be up to three times damages you incur. Don’t simply rely on a Seller’s disclosure efforts.

Our Advice: Zeal can be good – things get done, but don’t get overzealous to the point of compromising your wants, needs or integrity. All the paperwork must be in order, signed correctly, and in a timely manner. Keep your cool and work through the process. Every transaction has a “punch list” that should be completed for that type of transaction, i.e.- inspections, estimates, survey, etc. If you miss a step understand why you are doing so, what the consequences are, and make an informed decision on moving forward, pausing, or otherwise. Each situation is unique and its circumstances will dictate the course of action required for you to achieve your objective. No matter how bad you want to close a sale, it must be right for you and yours, very little can justify compromising or risking your peace and prosperity. Stay focused and make sure the right thing happens when it should and your zeal will be justly rewarded. 
Minden Food Company restaurant, the event has become a highly anticipated time to see old friends and catch up. Each special event in our small town draws its own crowd and this one is always special, the old guard.
Sauvignon. This event is the culmination of all three passions. Alan is everywhere visiting at the event, making sure that everyone is having a good time.
Walmart is coming to our small town. We have a big one and a nearby Costco at the north end of the Valley, about 15 miles north of Gardnerville, and one in Carson City, about 8 miles north of that, but they are building another down our way.
grocery store in Carson Valley, Raley’s, has done an extensive remodel, both interior and exterior. New façade, new floor, ceiling, display cases and lighting. There are even three different types of check out available now. You can check yourself out, get in a line and unload your own basket, or get in another and have the checker unload the basket for you.
We lost two of our mobile mouse traps this year and have been surprised at the consequences. Our two best mousers, Chester and Stash, so named because he had a bright orange mustache, both passed at ages 19 and 17. After missing the kitty offerings at the backdoor … vole and mouse remnants … we started finding other “gifts” in the form of little black pellets.
