Today I was asked by a Sacramento, CA landlord to resolve 2 individual landlord/tenant disputes involving eviction.

Each party met and within one hour each a settlement was reached by all parties.

The stress of eviction, timing and involving families and cost to the landlord can be devastating.

Jim W Hildreth of Real Estate Mediation Services was able to act as a "Neutral" and open the communication lines.

The parties left the mediation with resolve.

Jim W Hildreth speciality is real estate issues and today's landlord/tenant dispute was the 27th dispute that he acted as a neutral and 55th overall with real estate disputes.

Today I recieved a call from an agent Heidi Hovatter of Century 21 of Twain Harte, she said to me congratulations on being number One.

I told her I was not number one but number 3 on ActiveRain.

She corrected me and said not ActiveRain but for actual sales both on the listing and and sale side from January 1st to August 19th 2008 for the Tuolumne County Board of Realtors.

I told her I had no idea and she stated that her Broker Kim Darr had brought it to her attention.

The actual unit sales were are at 22 and the top 49 agents averaged 8 sides of sales year to date.

This has been a soft market.

I knew I was closing transactions and as I have told others, its been all the lower end prices that have been selling. $20,000, $65,000, $150,000, $30,000. $231,000

It seems I'm closing 6-7 deals compared to one in the past for the same numbers.

I have a pending sale of $475,000 and this is high end in the present market.

What do I owe to these numbers ?. I'm equal in working with both sellers and buyers at 11 each and the number 2-3 agents have tied into the REO market with strong listings.

Hard work, great sellers & buyers, pricing to the market and I'm also a strong dual agent representing both buyers & sellers.

In addition the internet continues to be valuable in marketing.

I look forward in finishing the year and both buyers and sellers have been great to work with and in the past I have been a strong listing broker.

I look forward in my first ActiveRain referral.

With record summer heat Saturday's BBQ in Twain Harte will make for a perfect summer evening and supports local community projects.

Twain Harte Rotarians ready for deep pit BBQ (Sonora Union Democrat)

The Twain Harte Rotary Club will hold its annual deep pit barbecue from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday at the Eproson Park Ball Field in Twain Harte. "The featured item is slow roasted beef that is so tender you won't even need a knife," said B.J. Sibley, one of the event organizers. Rotarians gather the night before to burn one and a half cords of wood down to embers.

The beef, rubbed with a secret recipe of herbs and spices and covered in burlap bags, is then stacked into the pit, sealed and slow roasted for about 15 hours. "The result is tender, delicious barbecue, which will be served with salad, beans, bread and ice cream," Sibley said. A silent auction, prize drawings and old-fashioned cakewalk also will be held.

Gates open at 4 p.m. Food service begins at 5 p.m. and continues until 7 p.m. or until the food runs out. For this Saturday only, the Concert in the Pines will be held one hour later than usual, beginning at 7 p.m. and taking place on the ball field rather than at the bandstand.

As always there is no charge for the music, which will be provided by Silvermoon Allstars presenting classic rock and roll. Barbecue tickets are $17.50 for adults and $10 for children under 12. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Family Barbershop on Joaquin Gully Road, by calling 586-4389 or from any Twain Harte Rotarian.

The barbecue is a fundraiser for annual high school scholarships and other community projects. "Barbecue tickets always sell out, so it is a good idea to get them early," Sibley said. "Tickets will be sold at the door, however they are very limited."
