Original owners, who have meticulously cared for this home, now find themselves wanting to downsize into a smaller home since their children have grown and left home. Many happy memories were made here where you will find pride of ownership abounds as you walk-through. This comfy 4-bedroom 2-bath home sets on a corner lot in a quiet, highly sought after south area location, with excellent commuting access to Sacramento. Low maintenance single story home, with stucco exterior siding, tile roof and a 3-car garage, are only a few of the many features you will find. If this sounds like what you are interested in don’t wait as it’s sure to sell fast. This is not a distressed seller but a motivated seller.

How long have you worked as an Agent:  21 years

Full time/Part time: Full Time

Favorite part about your job: I enjoy working with people, doing the best job I can do for them. I call that the “Golden Rule”…Treat others the way I would want/expect to be treated.

In one word, describe yourself as an agent: Conscientious

What area do you consider to be your “specialty?”   I like working with First time home buyers and Investors, but I am experienced in all aspects of the buying/selling field.

Recent training/conferences you’ve received or attended: I recently renewed my license and am able to keep up-to-date on new rules, practices just by constantly working in the field.

As an agent, how do you intend to better serve your clients?   I use my experience and expertise to better serve my client’s needs. Again, I believe in treating others with respect and I feel that is what my clients appreciate the most.

Most frequently asked question you get as an agent?  “What is a Short Sale?”

Answer:  A Short Sale is where the seller/owner owes more than what the home is worth. You have to get the bank to agree to work with you on selling the home.

Change the color of the front door. A fresh color instantly
upgrades your entire home

Lighting: A few well-placed lights (perhaps one to highlight a
beautiful door), or lighted stairs can give any home an elegant look. Balancing
light fixtures and front-door accents create welcoming entry ways and are
pleasing to the eye.

Hardware: Make sure your door hardware (hinges, handles, door
knockers) are in good repair. Also make sure your doorbell is updated for a
fresh clean look.

Flooring or Decking:  New paint, restored wood flooring, repaired concrete, or
even updating with interlocking deck tiles can make a huge difference and they are so easy to install.

Architecture: Perhaps the most striking curb appeal ideas come
from the redesign of your existing porch. A experienced architect can turn your
existing porch into an exquisite looking one by adding colums, a pediment above the front door, or even just adding porch railings.

Gardening: One can easily enhance their curb appeal by simply planting flowers, or by adding a few special touches with some garden DIY crafts! Firefly Glow Jars are a great way to add some sparkle to the outside of your home. Here’s how:

• Glass Jars (Either save your old pickle jars or pick up some cheapies at a thift store)
• Glow Paint, as many colors as you want (Find it at a craft store or any place that sells craft supplies)
• Small Paintbrushes

• Whisk
• Glitter
• Small Spray Bottle
• Water

• Make sure your jars are clean
• Assemble your supplies

• Pour Paint into small bowls (ones you don’t care if they might be glowing for many years to come.)

• Dip your paintbrush into the paint and try to coat the bristles evenly. If you have big globs on the end, the paint doesnt splatter so much as plop into the bottom of the jar.

• Hold brush about halfway down and insert the other half into the jar. Tap the brush back and forth against the inner rim to splatter the paint. Turn the jar as you splatter so it covers all the sides.

• Continue tapping the brushes with the various colors of paint until you get the desired coverage and colors.

• Once you’re all done, allow the paint to dry. Then set your jars under the light for a while so they can absorb as much as possible.
