This morning I received an email from a local Locksmith rep, I normally rush through some of this information because like most of you, I'm always in a hurry and so on. But I found some of these statistics and information astonishing and valuable so I'm passing it on (thanks for the info David).
Quick Facts:
Fact #1: More than 6 million residential break-ins occur every year - that is 1 every 10 seconds!
Fact #2: About half of all home burglaries are committed without force, through unlocked windows, patios and doors!
Fact #3: Many of those homes are burglarized using keys that belonged to a previous owner. (You never know who has a key to your home if you don't have it rekeyed immediately upon taking possession).
Fact #4: The average cost per break-in was approximately $1,500 (not including the costs of replacing any broken windows or doors)!
Fact #5: 1 of every 10 homes will be burglarized this year in the United States. Will you be next?
What should you do?
Enjoy the rest of the summer and stay safe!!

This month we feature a local family-owned business:
Amazing Finds is a small boutique warehouse/shop that offers carefully selected home furnishings and more, new and used, all at reasonable prices.
Amazing quality products at affordable prices and what I like best is their consignment split (to owners) is based on a 60/40 split compared to 50/50 which most local competitors offer.

Experience life in the Northstate. Affordable housing, excellent schools and a world of recreational opportunities. Live and retire here, life is good! We know, we're local experts.
It's the strong family values that brought us back to Redding. We spent several years in Southern, California and longed to live in a peaceful place where our children could have a better and safer place to live. For us, "quality of life" is not defined by fancy buildings, stores, entertainment or even the size of a city. We define it by the tranquility of the area, the clean air, friendly neighbors, clear rivers and lakes, open spaces and a stress-free lifestyle. Redding was the obvious choice.
When not at work, Chris likes to go fishing with his dad and brother. He enjoys stream fishing, deer and duck hunting and taking his family out to the lake. Maria loves the outdoors just as much and has a passion for photography. She likes capturing the beauty of the North State and she Blogs about everything Redding. She has a love for gourmet cooking and looks forward to her "Dinner Club" gatherings with friends. She appreciates the Mediterranean and Italian cuisine and especially likes to entertain friends and family with exciting meals. When you're proud of what you do and enjoy everything about it, it should reflect in the quality of your work. Real Estate is a career we are very passionate about. To us, it's about combining the elements of exceptional customer service, appreciation for home design and solid management skills. We are successful in this industry because we have a heart for it. Our level of service has been measured by a third-party company (Leading Research Corporation) and we have been recognized for maintaining 100% client satisfaction year after year, currently holding a 5 out of 5 rating (on a rating scale of 1-5), Platinum Level.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent service you provided when you assisted me in selling my home and purchasing another home. Your knowledge of the housing market enabled me to sell my home for a fair price in a very short amount of time. My home was on the market less than 2 weeks when I received a cash offer for it. Your professionalism in handling each transaction of the selling and buying aspects went far and above my expectations. Both your work ethic and willingness to put in long hours, is very appreciated. When I had questions or concerns, you were available even late at night. When I accepted the offer on my home, I needed to find another home in a short amount of time. You located many homes in my price range with the features I was looking for. You kept in close contact with my lender and offered suggestions to me to make for a smooth transition. With your assistance, I was able to find the exact kind of home I was looking for in less than 3 weeks. Your efficiency in setting up all my appointments for home inspection, roof inspection, plumbing inspection, etc. with your network of companies is amazing. This experience is one that I will never forget and am truly grateful. Your house warming gift to me was very thoughtful and I am enjoying it with my friends and family! You have continued to check in periodically to ensure that my relocation is going well." Thank you again! -- Ms. Young
"Chris and Maria were exceptional to work with in every way. They were extremely supportive, caring and conscientious about every detail and concern we had during our transition. They have impeccable character and ethics, listen attentively and honestly give their input, which made both the experience and the sale of our home a huge success! We will highly recommend them and consider them to be superior as professionals in real estate. Thank you Chris and Maria!" ---Mr. & Mrs. Ferrara "We have purchased 4 homes in our lifetime. We've never received such personal, professional and fun people to have represented us. We had some issues with a contractor but Chris and Maria stayed by our side and guided us throughout. My husband doesn't care for "sales people" but Chris and Maria are the exception. They always addressed our concerns, you are lucky to have them on board." -- Mr. & Mrs. Bivens
"We were impressed with the organization and personal skills of our real estate agents. Redding has become a desirable place to live. Chris and Maria presented us with two offers at top asking price the very next day" ---Mr. & Mrs. King
