Every week I sit down with a local who knows this town, from lenders and inspectors to the folks who run your favorite taco spot. No fluff, just what it's really like here. Moving here or selling? Tell me what matters and I'll send you a short video of where I'd look, free, within a day.
Here's what I tell my friends from the Bay Area. You sell there, bring the cash here, and you've got a house with a yard and money left over. Tahoe is two hours. Napa is an hour and a quarter. San Francisco is a day trip. The American River runs right through town with 32 miles of trail, and in July you're swimming in Folsom Lake twenty minutes from your door.
It's hot in summer. The commute on 50 is real. I'll tell you about those too.
A while back I was talking with an older gentleman who moved here after living all over the country. His take on Sacramento: nowhere else gives you this much for the money. No humidity. City life downtown, suburbs if you want them, mountains an hour away, the Bay for a day. He called it the hidden gem of California and said it's the most underrated place he's lived.
I was born here, so I'm biased. He wasn't.
My home turf. Old village, big lots, the river bluffs. Chickens walk down the street and nobody minds. If you want trees and quiet, start here.
First video: week of Oct 19Newer and planned, with the lake and trails behind your house. The schools have the reputation. You pay for all of it.
Video coming
Older homes, restaurants you can walk to, the part of town that feels like a city. Smaller lots, more character.
Video comingCarmichael, Roseville, Elk Grove. Good answers depending on what you want to spend. Ask me and I'll tell you which one fits.
New conversations every week. Can't wait? Ask me your question and I'll answer it on video.
I was born in Sacramento, raised my kids here, and have run businesses here for 30 years, including a mortgage company, so I know what a payment feels like at 3 a.m. I've been licensed since 2000 and a broker since 2007.
On Sacramento Real Talk I bring on the people I trust and let you hear it straight from them.
Most relocation videos are made by someone selling you the move. If a street is loud, if the commute is worse than the listing says, if you'd be happier one town over, I'll say so. I'd rather you call me in three years to sell a house you love than regret the one I talked you into.
Send me the address. I'll send you a video of what I'd do to get top dollar, before you sign with anyone. No obligation, and I won't call you five times.
Lender, inspector, contractor, restaurant owner, coach, longtime neighbor. If you know this town, I'd love to have you on the show. Tell me what you do and I'll reach out.
Buying, tell me what you want to spend and what matters to you. Selling, give me the address. I'll answer on video, just me and my phone, and text it to you.
