"Real Estate in the Foothills" has had a change. This blogger has just changed companies, I have joined a very progressive Real Estate Company, a company ready for the future, our slogan is "The future of Real Estate ... Today!" The broker is ahead of the game, with his "Smart Click Marketing System", and we are able to generate over 100 buyer leads per listing! (the average in the industry is 23). Our files are kept on line, signatures are web based electronic, our clients can view their transaction LIVE 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. WOW!!!

The main office is in Roseville on Pleasant Grove Blvd just a few blocks off of Hwy 65.
I have a suite in Auburn at 660 Auburn Folsom Rd in the Skyridge Courtyard on the South side of town (ste #202A upstairs, you can use the elevator).

Now for the current market, it's tough, yes it's still a very tough market, I don't care what all the talking heads are saying. I am working in the trenches, and it is work! Nothing is easy, there are no easy deals. The prices are still not climbing, in some cases still dipping, and in other cases prices are holding. Short Sales and REO's comprise most of the sales that are happening and it may continue that way for some time. The Federal Government with the HAMP and HAFA programs are gearing up for even more Short Sales, and most of the banks are joining in. It's not as complicated as you might think, you just need to call a "good Realtor" and he/she will help guide you through the process. Whether you are a seller or a buyer you need a good agent, one that can make the whole process a lot less stressful for you and one that has some experience with these transactions. Interest rates are still in the 5% range, Chase is refinancing owner occupied homes right now at a 5% int rate for 30 years with no pre-payment penalty. In this ever changing real estate market, this blogger is changing with it for the better.
