Happy Valentine's Day! The Valentine day will be a perfect day to find a romantic home. A local blogger managed to change a 1000 sf in Campbell four plex apartment to be a beautiful French villa. Cindy Kihn-Santiago is not a professional interior decorator by all means. She is a 48-year-old single mother of two kids who loves gardening, decorating, knitting, cooking and drawing. She shares her passion at the blogs of romantichome.blogspot.com and the www.lookiloos.com did a feature story of her on today's SJMN . Thank for the owner of After posting a photo on the network's Rate My Space, the HGTV has found her also. Cindy's apartment was used as an HGTV inspiration for a couple who wanted a romantic bedroom. JCPenney handed her a $500 shopping spree for the home decor.Earlier this week she told her audience that she is hoping to land a spot on a new HGTV show, "HGTV Designer for a Day," to work along with a host to make over a room. If you look her web site of my romantic home you can find realtors pay $75.00 a listing as long as the listing is alive. She attracts 3000 hits each day. The hit is probably more than most realtors' blogs. The above photo is her kitchen window from today news paper San Jose Mercury News .

Last night, a unanimous voice voted added to Lieberman/Isakson Amendment to the Senate Version of Economic Stimulus Bill. That amendment would provid a tax credit to all home buyers at the rate of 10% of the sale price up to a limit of $15,000 and this credit would be available for a one year period to all purchasers of primary residences. The tax credit will not need to be repaid.
Today was scheduled to debate Amendment 353, a proposal by Senator John Ensign (R-NV) that would provide 30 year fixed financing at a rate of about 4%, for anyone purchasing a primary residence.
If both provisions survive in the final passage of a stimulus bill, they will make a tremendous impact on the real estate industry. I have received an urgent email the co-founder of the RE/MAX International. He urged us to "contact your senators and representatives to let them know that you believe these provisions are essential components of any stimulus bill."
You can go to the official House web sites and you may wrtie to the following link https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml to locate the email and phone number of your legislators." I located the California congresswoman Anna Eshoo. You may check her web page http://eshoo.house.gov/
Lower end single family home or duplex is just on fire.
I have seen all most all the single family homes under $225,000 in San Jose downtown area. I have wrote 3 offers for my dear buyer all cash offer. We were out bid by other offers every time. There are 3 to 7 offers each time. Last home we offered is located at South Almaden Ave in the city of San Jose. That is a large lot for over 9000 sf corner lot. It is very close downtown and zoned R3. This Property has approval from city planning for 4 unit townhouse project. If we look at the history of this home it was sold for $590,000 at the mid-Octoberl 2006. You may ask how the earth this home's value dropped to less then half. Yes! there are a lot good homes on market for sale.

you will never be forgotten....that you have sold our house in Sunnyvale in a snap, and hence we're able to move on and carry out our lives' plan smoothly and ahead of schedule. Above all, we felt priviledged and so proud to know and befriend a person like you! Professionally, you have wowed us. You have demonstrated great skills in real estate dealings. Your diligent efforts-working tirelessly; your pragmatic approach and the clear vision you have -minimal effort and amount of money spent for only absolute necessary upgrades to the house to get the house sold quickly; the knowledge and information you posessed on the field; your suppleness of mind; your strong negotiating power(like pounding on the table on the side of the represented..hehe, just kidding); your firmness and your flexibility; your speed of getting things done and above all, your unrelentless drives and motivations have much smeared
Love,

My sister and I retained the company of RE/MAX Real Estate Services and selected Grace Keng to be our agent in selling the family home that my parents had for over 39 years. She was able to contact the right people to aid in the repair and renovation that was required to put the home on the market. She actively advertised the home and worked with us to present the home when it was completed.
Grace obtained an offer that was $20,000 over our asking price. She handle the sale in the true professional manner. My sister and I were pleased in which she handled all the aspects of the sale. She also follows up to see that all the requirements of the sale were met and that all parties were happy.
I would strongly recommend Grace to represent you in obtaining or selling your hom.
Sincerely
Josephy Lucchesi Santa Clara, CA 95050
