Gardnerville, NV

Friday I posted a blog about the joy of getting a tough loan approved for a deserving couple, The Toughest of the Toughest Loan Just Got Approved! These Kids Are Buying Their Dream Home!

Saturday I experienced the "Rest Of the Story".

This Saturday in Carson Valley was special, it's "Carson Valley Days" ... a 99 year old tradition of celebrating our wonderful Carson Valley Life! We started with the Carson Valley Day's Parade. After that, amid the confusion of taking apart the Douglas Pop Warner Float, I met with my young home buyers to open the house and let them share their future new home with their extended family and friends!

What a wonderful joy to watch them show their parents, aunts, uncles, children and friends the home they will soon be moving into!

There are many wonderful opportunities available in Carson Valley for First Time Buyers!

I just noticed a "ratings" link on my home page for this blog.  I will be looking further into this suspicious looking page, but hope that all those in the Gardnerville, Minden, Carson City who have worked with me in the past would rate me well.  Here is a little incentive:  On the Friday night of CARSON VALLEY DAYS I am hosting a Taco Bar at my centrally located home.  (See my blog: "Carson Valley Days" for more info. Come have a taco (or ten) before you hit the Carson Valley Days Street Party in Downtown Gardnerville.  If free tacos aren't enough  to gain   some attention, I don't know what is, because tacos are good.  And if you are planning on missing Carson Valley Days, you are planning on missing OUT!

By the way, Gardnerville offers an excellent Farmer's Market at Lampe Park, located on Waterloo Lane every Wednesday morning from 9 am to 1 pm.  When you are cruising through town don't forget to make a stop and pick up some extraordinary fruits and veggies and browse those hard working local vendors.  My personal favorite:  Carson Valley Honey.  Take a teaspoon or so a day and loose those seasonal allergies.  They even have bees wax lip balm and hand cream.  Worth every penny!

If you have visited Gardnerville/Minden Nevada or you live here, then you may know the drastic difference in property appearance from winter to spring. I am excited as a Realtor at the moment to see property looking a lot more attractive with green lawns and blooming trees recently. A reminder to agents working in 4-season climates: get out there and take new listing photos now that the snow is gone. A snowy picture in the spring time makes a listing appear out dated and drab. Show off the landscaping and sunshine!
