Buying A Home in Sacramento vs East Coast
June 18th, 2010 categories: Relocating, Sacramento Real Estate Videos
East coast home buyers whom I have worked with tell me they sit across the table from the home seller at their closings and the buyers receive the keys to their new house on the day they sign with the sellers. That is not the case here.
Home Buyers and Home Sellers back East each have attorneys which we also do not participate in, here in Northern CA. The Realtors here and the Title companies perform the same work and get the job done without the added expense of attorneys or delays.
Keys are not given until such time as the home buyer’s loan is funded, the seller’s loan is paid off and the Deed records at the County changing ownership. This usually takes place within 48 hours after signing at Title.
The one exception is table funding or all cash buyers, however it still is necessary to make sure recording of the Deed takes place prior to keys being given to the home buyer. And this can usually be done the same day for table funding and all cash buyers.
There are special circumstances when a home buyer may get the keys earlier and pay rent to the seller until such time as the loan is funded and the Deed recorded. Typically, lenders are not crazy about that idea, though.
Home buyers that are relocating and home buyers moving up as well as First Time home buyers and investors are all taking advantage of the great prices and values in the Sacramento and surrounding areas. These home buyers are the lucky ones to be able to take advantage of a real estate market we won’t see for another decade. Congratulations and enjoy your new homes!
The BEST part of Real Estate is when as a Sacramento Realtor ® I hand over those new keys and say, “welcome to your new home.”

West Sacramento – The Rivers
January 13th, 2010 categories: Relocating, West Sacramento
The Rivers is a 200 acre master-planned community located in Wes
t Sacramento just across the I Street Bridge from Downtown Sacramento. If you are looking for a neighborhood to relocate, the Rivers is certainly one to consider.
This community is convenient to freeways, Amtrak and the airport, Raley Field as well as the cultural opportunities offered in Downtown Sacramento.
With distinctive homes and custom home sites along the river where parks, meandering lakes and walking trails are just one of the many amenities. The entire master-planned community has not been fully built out. However, there are 3 distinct areas which are:
- Silvershore are Executive waterfront homes by the Sacramento River with a minimum of 3,295 square feet with 4-5 Bedrooms.
- Grandview section homes have 4-6 Bedrooms ranging from 2,358 sq. ft. to 4,878 sq. ft. on 9,000 square foot lots
- Cascades
Home buyers will love the 40 acres that have been designated as private parks with play equipment and a K-8 school is planned for down the line by the north entrance along with an Aquatic Park. This is a gated community with 24 hour security service. Even a fishing dock for those just getting started as official fishing enthusiasts has been made part of this master planned community.
The Rivers is a Home Owners Association were there are rules and regulations that each homeowner must adhere to. For more HOA information be sure to read The Rivers Community Association and check out the rules, regulations and restrictions of the covenant. Want to learn more about the Rivers, just click and read the City Council document for phase II of the Rivers. As a home buyer it is always important to read the CC& R’s to make sure you don’t have a problem adhering to the rules of the association prior to buying a house.
Another great amenity is the clubhouse at the Rivers with a pool and party room to rent out.
Remember, this is a community that is still growing and is close to downtown Sacramento located in West Sacramento which is in Yolo County. Always my pleasure to list homes for sale and help home buyers purchase homes in this lovely area known as The Rivers.

Relocating to Sacramento? I Have Just The Place For You…
May 1st, 2009 categories: Fun Things, Relocating
Sacramento, CA
For all those home buyers relocating to the Sacramento area I have been doing a little scouting and found the perfect hotel in Downtown Sacramento where you will not miss your bed since the beds are Serta presidential and you will also be served healthy nutritious slow food in the most gorgeous setting.
I was given a wonderful tour of The Citizen Hotel located at 926 J Street by Sarah Essary, Public Relations Coordinator and had the distinct honor of meeting Mark Mathews, General Manager, Kipp Blewett, Principal Partner and the Executive Chef of Grange Restaurant and Bar, Michael Tuohy. Come along with me and learn about Grange Restaurant and Bar.
The Citizen Hotel assures me that for those relocating to the Sacramento area and mentioning our working real estate relationship to find you the perfect distinguished home, you will receive a perferred rate.
The Citizen Hotel is a Joie de Vire Boutique (Joie de vivre) hotel that was originally built in 1925 and was refurbished and brought back to life November 2008 as one of Sacramento’s premier boutique hotels. It is where the “Roaring 20’s meets the 21 st Century grace.”
Political theme runs through the hotel into each of the rooms. By the way, don’t miss checking out the restrooms at the Scandal Bar and the political artwork from Newton Pratt, a Pulitzer price winning cartoonist from the Sacramento Bee in the 40’s and 50’s. Notables are featured on the napkin wall…no I’m not there 
Each 198 rooms of the hotel are different from the other due mainly to the architecture of the building along with custom made furniture which means, each of your stays at the Citizen will be different from the previous.
I was impressed with the Penthouse with its’ own balcony and views of Sacramento. Come along with me and take a tour of the Citizen Hotel with our guide, Sarah Essary.
Whether staying at The Citizen or just wanting a good meal, Grange is a slow food restaurant that serves both the hotel and other guests. The executive chef, Michael Tuohy meets local growers and establishes relationships to produce a different menu daily. I had a luscious meal and highly recommend eating at Grange. Check out Michael Tuohy’s Blog.
While at Grange, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and other Supervisors were lunching…not uncommon at the Grange. You just never know who might show up.
Enjoy viewing the videos and learning a little more about The Citizen Hotel and the Grange Restaurant and Bar.

Sacramento Real Estate Has A Tip
February 9th, 2009 categories: Relocating
As a Real Estate Broker, I have received quite a few phone calls from home buyers who are relocating to the Sacramento area.
As you can imagine, if you don’t live in Sacramento or the surrounding area it is difficult to figure out how far away Elk Grove, CA is from Roseville, CA or Land Park from Tahoe Park. These are important questions when you are relocating to the Sacramento area.
That is why I place an interactive Sacramento map on Sacramento Real Estate Voice. When clicked a larger map pops up and shows the distance between many of our neighborhood cities.
Then click on a city and information about that city pops up. When you look at homes for sale, you might want to check the city where the house is located and then take a look at the map to see the distance between where you will be working when you move to Sacramento and where you want to live.
Be sure to look on the left-side of this blog where you will find videos, photos and lots of good information about many of the communities and neighborhoods in and around the Sacramento area. I hope this helps you with your decision on where you want to live.
The next important question Sacramento home buyers have is…
“is it a good neighborhood ?”
Realtors can not answer that question as everyone has a different idea of “good” and “safe.” To try and help you with that question, I have placed two links on the right hand-side bar of my blog, Neighborhood Crime Arrest Report and Neighborhood Crime Tracker.
Both of these sites should give the home buyer plenty of information to help with questions regarding crime in neighborhoods.
Schools are the other question that most home buyers have when they are relocating to Sacramento. Again, on the right hand-side of the bar is a link GREAT SCHOOLS , just type in the City and take a look a all of the schools as well as the School District.
Once you have an address of a house you are interested in, simply call the School District and ask which Elementary, Middle and High School your child would attend if you bought that house for sale.
Everything is here to help you along with looking at all of the Sacramento homes for sale.
If you can think of something that might be useful to you or other home buyers moving to Sacramento, just leave a comment below and I will be happy to add it.
