Elk Grove Celebrates 2009 Strauss Festival
July 20th, 2009 categories: Elk Grove, Fun Things
Elk Grove, CA
The Strauss Festival in Elk Grove, CA begins July 23 and runs through July 26, 2009 outdoors at Elk Grove Regional Park and is FREE to the public except for $10 parking fee.
Google map to Elk Grove Regional Park.
View Larger Map
A prelude and promenade to the “Once Upon a Dream” show begins at 7:45 pm with the show beginning at 8:15 pm and ending each evening at 10:00 pm. at Strauss Island by the lake.
I personally have never attended the festival but I hear that everyone would be surprised that these are not professional dancers . Having danced and taught dancing before my years of being a Realtor ®, it’s amazing that I haven’t attended one of Elk Grove’s finest…perhaps this year.
Bringing to life the sounds of Johann Strauss with a professional orchestra the Strauss Festival brings over 30,000 people each year since 1987. After each performance there are fireworks. This is a favorite of many and perhaps this year, I will make the time to be enchanted with the flavor of the waltz, the costumes, the music and the ambiance.
Bring your blanket to reserve your seat early along with your picnic dinner. There is food there to purchase.

Elk Grove Real Estate
October 12th, 2008 categories: Elk Grove, Sacramento Real Estate Videos
Elk Grove, CA real estate is selling. September 2008 real estate market report shows the home sales in each of the 3 zip codes, 95624, 95758 and 95757 are up. Since Elk Grove, CA experienced a high boom in new home sale, there have been quite a few foreclosures in Elk Grove.
In the above video, I unfortunately made a mistake a said, the Elk Grove stats for the “month” instead of saying the Year-to-Date stats. Please excuse the error.
In my opinion as an Elk Grove Realtor, since Elk Grove has the highest number of foreclosures in the Sacramento area and also had the biggest new housing boom it tells me that new home builders were not looking out for the home buyers interest in getting them good loans. That’s just another good reason to make sure as a home buyer looking to buy a new home from a new home builder that you are represented by an experienced Realtor. Not only will we make sure you don’t over pay but we can help to refer a home buyer to a reputable lender so that you don’t loose your home to a foreclosure.
Be sure to check out Sacramento Real Estate Voice for Monday’s article on Getting Pre-Approved…

Sacramento Realtor Puts Back the WOW in Real Estate for Home Buyers
September 17th, 2008 categories: Elk Grove, Foreclosure, Real Estate
These Sacramento Home Buyers have that “wow” feeling since they are purchasing a new house in a new subdivision from a new home builder.
The home buyer are getting the “deal of the century” after I negotiated a great price, the model home and all the furniture for them. All they need is a suitcase to move right-in.
Just another example of why you want to have a Realtor represent you if you are a home buyer thinking of buying a house from a home builder.
Now, look at those smiles on this couple. Can you see that they are thrilled with their choice of purchasing a new house?
There were days when those smiles were not present. We had spent several weeks looking at bank owned foreclosed houses in Elk Grove, CA and even placed an offer on one of the houses.
There were complications, such as the renter not allowing us entry into the house for the home inspection. The renter removing 10 trees from the backyard of the house after our contract had been accepted and the actual owners vowing to remove the surround sound that was installed in the home.
The “wow” factor was depleting daily and I was left with home buyers who were very skeptical of what the house would look like once they closed and the house was theirs. So, after contemplating the situation, the home buyers decided to rescind their offer on the bank owned, foreclosed home and start taking a look at new homes from new home builders.
We visited several new home builders and narrowed the choice to one builder where we found a floor plan that these home buyers liked. We looked at one of the houses that had been started and not finished but I saw that look on my home buyer’s faces and knew that the “wow” factor was leaving.
I needed to get that happy look back on their face so I asked them if they liked the model and saw their eyes light up. It was obvious that I needed to negotiate and get them that model. Within a few minutes not only did I get the model home for them at a reduced rate but I had also negotiated all of the furniture and knick knacks in the house to be included.
A new home subdivision in Elk Grove, CA where only 5 homes were left to build and sell, these home buyers found their dream home and got the “WoW” factor back. They will be moving in by the end of this month and become Elk Grove citizens.
Another happy client that got what they wanted.
Remember, that it is essential that even if you are buying a new house from a new home builder that you have a home inspection. At least before the 1 year anniversary, it’s a must to have a home inspection. No home is free of repairs and items that have been overlooked. A home inspection for a new house from a new home builder is as important as having a Realtor represent you.
