Reality Real Estate
My reality real estate series, MyForSaleSign is where I blog and photograph a transaction as it happens. I recently completed my first series when Randi and Tony completed the sale of their Yuba City condo and purchased and moved into a brand new home. We had fun doing the series, Randi and Tony were great and let us share so much and the reader response was wonderful. I had lots of comments and even some suggestions from other agents who were following us. I feel like it was entertaining as well as informative. Until I find another client who is willing to let me blog and start my podcasting about their real estate transaction I will continue to chronicle our own adventure in Anchorage, Alaska. We have a rental property up there that we completely remodeled and have now had on the market for what seems like forever. It is a great starter home or potential rental for an investor. It has a good location within the city but the neighborhood has its share of issues. It is one of those streets where you are starting to see signs of improvements but still enough not so nice places that the entire neighborhood does not look as good as it could.
I made a trip to Alaska over this past weekend to review with our Realtor where we are in the process, what changes need to be made and just to make sure the place is still showing well. I also was able to surprise my sister Lynn on her birthday. It was a fun weekend and the house clearly needs to be cleaned again but generally looks very nice. We have held on to it this long and will continue to wait for the right buyer to come along. It really is cute and virtually brand new now with all the remodeling we did. If anything we may have over improved the home for the neighborhood. That is the kind of mistake investors can make when they don’t live in the same area as their investment property.

Happy Birthday Lynn, I loved surprising you!
