I may be the most fortunate Realtor in the world. I have my sign company right next door and a great Gift Shop two doors down. So conveniently I have two places I need to visit within walking distance. A Realtor is always making signs for our listings and websites. We buy riders and directional signs (so they can be stolen) to promote our properties and listings. Our local Redding Sign and Banner Company does great work and always helps even in those situations where we have unreasonable deadlines to meet. They do beautiful work and they do it with a smile. The team is awesome and we so appreciate the great service. If you need that sign or banner....this is where you need to bring your business.
Store Front and a view in the window of our company location. You can't quite see our sign.
What ever your needs are...they are so equipped to deliver it.
Hard at work and with technology solutions on every level....this is your place!
I know you see what you need. Full service sign and banner company!
With knowledge and expertise on all levels, a team that delivers the solution with a smile...how can you beat it!

Here in Redding and Shasta County we have the most delightful place to visit and have a delicious cookie or latte. It's called the Cookie Jar and it is my favorite place for coffee and that occasional cookie when I need a sweet. If I did the cookie thing too much...well you know. Our Friday morning meeting is at the Cookie Jar and my Boss treats and so I always try to be there....a free latte is too hard to miss plus I love looking around at all the beautiful cookie jars that they sell and other speciality items.
The Cookie Jar is my place to go to get my client gifts and to just kind of shop and have fun. Here's some photos and you will understand why! Not only do that have great product, but they are happy, kind and provide that level of service that just says it all....Come back anytime....we'll be here with warm cookies and cold milk! Now that's my kind of treat!
This is THE cookie case. They wanted me to come back and take it in the morning...because it's full. By each day it is empty. Does that give us a clue as to how good these cookies are?
Wonderful Gourmet Coffee, Expresso and More. So many things to look at!
The variety is amazing. I am always able to find just that right gift for my client or friends.
360 degrees of Goodies is what we have in this wonderful shop with cookies to boot and COFFEE....my main need and delight!
Here's the John Wayne section....I bought that signed photograph of John Wayne for my Boss, Ross Domke. He's my John Wayne!
Team Cookie Jar is a family affair and it sure shows. The whole operation is quality from start to finish. If you come to Redding and Shasta County California for a visit....let's have coffee and a cookie at the Cookie Jar.

We've seen market prices come down in California. Redding and Shasta County have had significant price decline in market value of homes. What two years ago was not affordable is now much more reasonable and attainable for the first time home buyer.
Talk with your lender or mortgage officer to see if you can qualify. If you do not know a lender or mortgage officer, I would be happy to refer you to several. You will need to discuss your financial goals and current situation. They will help you to determine what you can afford and the terms of the loan you will be applying for. Getting this first step out of the way, helps you to move forward with confidence. This is an important investment for people and doing it correctly will help you attain the goal.
Next we would want to discuss your goals and needs. A time frame should be established. Learning about the current market can take some time. If you've been researching market values on the internet, you will be ahead of the game. Seeing on the internet and actually physically being there can be different, however. If you are thinking of owning your own home, start going to Open Houses and note the square footage, number of bedrooms and baths and location of the homes as to price. These things will help us to know and understand the current market. It will make knowing when we have found a deal or the right house for the right price.
If you'v done none of the above, that's alright. Give me a call and I can help you begin. I love helping and working with first time home buyers and reaching the success of our goal....owning your first home.
It may be a good time for you to begin this process and if we are not quite there....give it some time and set your plan into action. It's worth working for and goal setting is the first step to attaining the goal.

Shasta County MLS Listings by Price ~ Short Sale and Foreclosure Listings ~ Redding and Shasta County's Total Real Estate Resource
Interesting question that was posed to my group about whether we should continue with print ads? Varied replies came across my screen. Some yes and some no. I took a pretty direct line of response. I believe we still need print ads. I would agree that over the last three years, we have seen the effectiveness of them generating leads go to zip and zero.
About two years ago....I began to use them to drive traffic to Opens and to dedicated websites for my listings and my business. I rarely get calls from my ads, but I do get business. 30% of my business came from my Opens last year and 50% so far this year. I would not be getting the traffic to the Opens or the websites if I was not running the print ads.
I'm generating showings for my listings both on the internet and with my Opens. I've double-ended one of my listings this year which accounts for the higher stats for this year. Other agents are not out there showing and by generating leads from the web and getting clients in to see my listings, I am netting results for my clients. You have to work harder in this market. Internet marketing is key and so are Opens.
Will we need print ads three years from now....I would guess so....but who knows. There are people who like to read that Sunday paper and look at all the retail ads and go to Open Houses on Sunday! The local newspaper is really only a distribution mechanism for these retail marketers, however it does also provide a source for that Open House hunter on the weekends.
I'm for keeping the print ad for now. It's paying off for me....but then I have something to drive traffic to....do you?

I have a very nice young couple who called me about one of my ActiveRain posts on First Time Home Buyers. We talked a bit about their circumstances and decided that we felt comfortable enough for them to talk with a lender about getting prequalified to purchase. After completing the process with the lender, we know that we can qualify for an FHA loan and that we will be asking the seller for concessions for closing costs. We know our range and the "hunt" has begun. They are a lovely couple with a six month old daughter.
We saved a MLS search for them in their price range of all listings on the market in their area. I like my first time home buyers to get famiiar with the market as a whole. They need to understand the compelling market value of the 3/2/2, central air and heat and having a good roof.
Many times, first time home buyers will look at buying anything. They will also think they can do a fixer. If we get to know the market well enough then they become knowledgeable about the market and what a "good buy" is. They also learn that sometimes you can find that "good buy" without it having to be the dreaded "fixer". It costs money to do the fixers and most people underestimate what that cost will be. I like to actually set down and go over the numbers that will include "sweat equity hours" and the costs associated with that time. I see it over and over, where people have remodeled and spent money they will never recoup.
We met for the first time yesterday afternoon. We went over all the listings that were possibilities.
We discussed foreclosures and short sales and how they may not work for us. However, there might be something in those two categories that could. It would be my job to figure that part our with the discovery of the history and current situation of the property; talking with the listing agent; and doing a CMA to determine investment opportunity.
We picked four houses to go see out of twenty. Three short sales and 1 foreclosure.
The first short sale home (3/1/1) had a black substance in the back bath and we felt that we could not take the baby into the back part of the home. It was painted a not very attractive green throughout....very roughly painted. The kitchen had been remodeled at some point but now worn, dirty and in need of another remodel. The roof looked newer but may have been a roof installed over another roof....never the best. All in all if it had not had the black substance, functionally we could have considered the home....although I pointed out that when we get current with the market and know the market.....we will find a good value....we must be ready to move and getting them to that level of confidence would be the goal. We could do better.
The second house (3/1/1) was much better. The roof looked good. The kitchen and bathroom were original and there was wall paper that would have to go throughout most of the home. The back yard was knee high in weeds. Functionally speaking this home looked much better.
The third home was an REO and in a slightly worse location. It look good from the outside and the roof looked new. We walked in and about died. The smell was so bad that it hit us like a wall. We got in to the kitchen area....the garage had been converted (which we talked about is never the best investment.....the standard 3/2/2 is the best conventional invsestment) and the kitchen was a black hole.....we turned and left without even looking at the rest of the house. It was way overpriced.
The last home was a short sale (3/1/1) with a good roof, pergo floor and very neutral in all ways. Very functional with a new deck on the back. It had a note on the door of a Trustee Sale scheduled for 9/25/08.
My clients are not ready to make a decision yet....we don't know the market well enough and so this might have worked, but I personally know we can do better. We are going to have to be at the right place at the right time....my job and respsonsibility is to make sure that opportunity comes around and that we are where we can make it happen.
We've scheduled another evening of seeing 1,2 or 3 more homes in town. We are headed to Lake California on Saturday to look at homes there.
We have begun and we will be successful in finding this nice couple a new home. They have lots going for them. He's in construction and can update the home. She works with interior design and will be updating the look of the home. We've talked about doing these activities with seconds and discontinued products at Loews or Home Depot. Doing it on the "dime" is the only way to go!
I'll keep you posted on our progress. What was that REO agent thinking on that smelly house?

First Time Home Buyers have new opportunity here in Redding and Shasta County. With the declining market and dropping prices in home market values, first time home buyers can begin the process of looking to own their first home. With many opportunities within a Buyer's market, first time home buyers have many options that can help them qualify and buy their first home.
More Affodable Prices--Redding and Shasta County now offer the first time home buyer much more affordable prices in this current market.
Down Payment Assistance Programs (DAP) can help qualifying first time home owners within certain income brackets with assistance in down payment programs. Bill HR3221 will do away with the DAP programs, however a new bill is being introduced to try and save these national, state and local programs.
Seller Concessions can help the the first time home buyer with closing costs. It is not unusual in thi market for buyers to ask the seller for concessions (up to 6%) in non-recurring and recurring closing costs.
New First Time Home Buyer Incentive from the new Bill HR3221 will offer a tax rebate of $7,500 to first time home buyers.
When you own your own home there are additional tax benefits that allow you in most cases to pay less taxes with a tax write off (your mortgage interest). You should consult with your tax consultant to verify how this will work for you.
If you've been saving and educating yourself about owning your own home, this may be a good time to begin the process. You will need to work with a Realtor to assess your goals and qualifications and to see if the time is right for starting the process. It is a partnership and requires learning and knowledge of the current market conditions and the matching of your goals to our ability to get you into your first home.

My husband and I are fly fishing enthusiasts. We love being on the river and the connection it brings to the river and to the environment. There is nothing better than hunting that “brookie” or “brown”. My husband David, is a fly fisherman of extraordinary ability (he is poetry in motion when it comes to fly fishing) and is the true fly fisherman. He can fly fish anywhere in any condition. He is the "hunter". I on the other hand have to have just the right spot and just the right equipment. I fiddle at fly fishing. However, both styles of fly fishing are wonderful. As I said, it is not really about how but why. The why is being in the river with glorious sky above and beauty all around and the knowingness of that one second in time when you are completely connected to all living things? That one transcendent moment when you and nature are one is transformative. You are the fish, you are the river and you are all that surrounds you.
We of course practice catch and release and have been asked “why bother”. The answer to that is in the act of “thinking like the fish” and therefore “being the fish”. Once you have that connection and you actually succeed in “catching the fish” there is complete satisfaction. That second when you are allowed to gently release the hook (no barbs) and as the fish swims free from your gently cupped hand, the celebration of having met this lovely fish for that very short space in time is forever in your memory. I remember every fish I have every caught. The “brookies” shines like a penny and the “rainbows” jumps and fights so beautifully with such spirit. It is all SO, SO GOOD!
Come visit Redding and enjoy the best fishing rivers, streams and lakes in California. Look David and Jeanean Gendron up….and we’ll go with you!
