About Placer County, CA

Savvy Investors in today's market are calling on the services of Sacramento's Premier Staging Companies: Artful Journey and Stage Right Design

The Roseville, Rocklin, and Granite Bay areas, are booming with foreclosures and investment properties. There are great buys in these areas and with the help of professional home staging services, these properties are selling in record time.

This Granite Bay home, was a recent foreclosure. It was completely remodeled and upgraded. Before it was listed for sale, these smart investors called upon the services of Artful Journey and Stage Right Design. They purchased one of our "Investor Packages". It was staged in one day, received multiple offers 2 days later and is SOLD within 1 week! This Investor knew that the home needed to be shown in its best light with warmth and personality. They were on a tight budget and they wanted to get a good return on their investment... and they sure did.

Not only were the investors happy, the REA who sold it was happy, and the neighbors were thrilled to see the upgrades and sale of this beautiful home in their neighborhood! Here are some Before and Afters.

This weekend is one that my husband and I look forward to, because we love Sasuma mandarin oranges! It is time for the annual Mountain Mandarin Festival in nearby Auburn, California. Ths festival is held annually the weekend before Thanksgiving, and it celebrates the harvest of the Owari Satsuma Mandarin oranges that are grown in Placer County, right next door to Sacramento County.

In addition to the great taste of these delicious little fruits, the USDA has extolled the wonderful health benefits of them. If you will be within an hour's drive of this great celebration, I recommend you come on by. It is a lot of fun. And if you spot me there, stop and say hello. I'll be bouncing from vendor to vendor, and sampling the wares of the dozen or so orchards that will be represented, checking out the crafts, and picking up so new recipes that include Mandarins.

There is something for all ages, including for everyone, some great cooking demonstrations by professional chefs (and sampling of the food prepared), a cooking contest, and booths, booths, booths!

Proceeds from the Festival fund three scholarships presented each year by the Newcastle Area Business Association. Crowds have grown from 1,500 in 1993 to 40,000 in 2008. Don’t miss the opportunity to attend this major agriculture festival.
