Steaming hot in Sacramento, so how hot was it? Well, area reports are 106 degrees +. I had to walk a 100-acre field and almost had a heat stroke. It is a parcel just off the Jackson highway at Sloughhouse Rd. in Elk Grove. This property is in competition with my 80-acre farm just down the street.
My own dogs have evaporative AC and misters and fans on their areas. The horses have fans and fly spray. The inside animals slept on the floor all day. When it gets this hot with so many animalsyou have to stay on top of it.
If you are looking for Real Estate to purchase or sell even when it is over 105 degrees call Weintraub & Wallace Realtors with RE/MAX Real Estate, with RE/MAX Gold at 916-233-6759.

Downsizing to a Smaller Home
Home downsizing to a smaller home is a blog that Elizabeth Weintraub wrote for another publication, Enjoy. JaCi Wallace.
Sometimes bigger isn’t better, and I have come to that conclusion in my own life. At one point, I owned a ranch home that was 8,600 square feet. For just two of us and one cat. It was enormous and way too much space for me to handle. Just walking from the kitchen to the bedrooms was a trek. I actually considered installing a moving walkway until I realized how incredibly silly and stupid it would be.
It was a pain to clean, the utilities were expensive and the mortgage payments absurd. I struggled with this home for almost two years before I realized that I should sell it and consider downsizing to a smaller home. A smaller home also meant I could get rid of a lot of furniture. Ultimately, smaller quarters meant I spent less time taking care of the home and had more time to spend with friends. It made dinner parties a lot more intimate and comfortable.
If you are interested in downsizing and or selling your home call Weintraub & Wallace with RE/MAX Gold, 916-233-6759.

National Wine And Cheese Day Celebration
Since 2014, July 25 is the National Wine and Cheese Day Celebration! There are many places that take advantage of this holiday to provide opportunities for the public to taste and or purchase various varieties and pairings of wine and cheese. This morning, news stations were featuring different restaurants and clubs that are having such gatherings.
Many wine and/or cheese connoisseurs plan parties on this day, to invite friends into their homes to share their knowledge and to partake in some rare and tasty combinations. I have several such friends and clients that have invited me to celebrate the day; however, there is no rest for the market, and I had to decline. I love my friends and loyal clients who keep me in mind when having celebrations and I try as hard as possible to attend when I am able. Many of my clients have become dear friends over the years and I feel very blessed.
Several of my past clients have specified wanting a wine cellar/room or wine refrigerators as requirements when they were looking for a new home. As always, I took note of any specialized requirements and created a tour of such properties.
Currently, I have an exclusive home listed in Rocklin that has a full wine cellar equipped with a custom-built 1000 bottle, temperature-controlled wine cellar. It is finished in marble, cherrywood and has travertine floors, as well as sconce lighting. The game room has a full wet bar, subzero dual temp wine fridge and ice machine for great parties!! There are so many beautiful places in and outside of this beautiful 5100+ square foot home to partake in National Wine and Cheese Day. A wine-lover’s dream home – Call to make and appointment to view this lovely retreat!! What a way to celebrate National Wine and Cheese day.

Rockin Real Estate Race in Sacramento
A rocking real estate race in Sacramento felt much like I was in the thoroughbred races at Cal Expo. When you have multiple appointments out in Sacramento real estate from 9 am – 7 pm, it keeps us running. There are also hundreds of emails to work on every day. The phone calls keep coming and we triage with top priorities. In between appointments when you have a few minutes while driving, we try to get a call or two completed. With our team of professional Realtors, we have resources to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Yesterday, we had multiple counter offers out and escrows with action items. Also, I had a listing appointment in Alicante Villas at Woodside. We have some sellers that have rather complex showing instructions by appointment only. We need to be present for those showings. When appraisers go to a property, I meet them to go over the comparable sales. We have a tricky property in Rancho Cordova that took some extra TLC with the appraiser.
At days end, some friends needed to see a property to compare pricing. I made it the last appointment of the day. They just are not entirely comfortable with anyone else so we make it work. They bonded the first time we met. Usually, they only see one or two homes a month. I just love them to pieces. It is a joy to see them even on crazy busy days. When people are so kind and appreciative you always go the distance for them with a smile. I rarely show property except in Wilton and east of the freeway 99 in my hood.
I finished working through pages and pages of email last night and the blog must get published by 11:59 pm. The life in a rocking real estate race for a Sacramento Realtor is similar to the thoroughbred race. We race our hearts out full throttle every day, for our people. Our five-star Zillow reviews are for a reason, we give it everything we have and we are happy to do it.
If you want to sell or purchase Elk Grove real estate or Sacramento real estate, call Weintraub & Wallace Realtors with RE/MAX Gold, at 916-233-6759.
