New “Sacramento Appraiser” Video / Check out Animoto

Before heading out shortly to inspections in Galt and Stockton, I wanted to post a new video I just put up on our YouTube page. What do you think? This video highlights my company’s local service in Sacramento. I used www.animoto.com to make the video. Check out the Animoto website and see what you can produce (they even have free music). Animoto will allow you to produce 30 second videos for free, but otherwise you pay $30 for longer videos (and an entire year of unlimited service). There are so many ways to have fun with a service like this. I can think of how it would work for family, business, friends, jokes, holidays, party invites, etc… Enjoy.

A Silver Horse: An Instant Landmark in Sacramento (95821 Zip Code)

By 10 Comments

While driving in the field this morning I snapped a photo of a silver horse statue in the brand new Rite Aid center on the corner of Marconi Avenue and Eastern Avenue in the 95821 zip code of Sacramento. This newly constructed shopping center is located just West of Carmichael and the Rite Aid store has been open for less than two weeks.

What do you think of the horse? It’s gleaming and it’s not hard to miss, is it? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Does it add to the appeal of the retail center? Do you think it fits in with the neighborhood? Comment above if you’d like.

This horse has been dubbed by my three year old boy as “Silver” (sounds appropriate I suppose). It is certainly a landmark for the intersection now because passersby will be drawn to look at it. For reference, Wikipedia says the following of the word “landmark”: In modern usage, a landmark includes anything that is easily recognizable, such as a monument, building, or other structure. 

On another note, this store is located in Sacramento, but the Rite Aid website currently says “Carmichael“. Why do you think  Rite Aid has listed their store location as Carmichael? Is this similar to the 24 Hour Fitness in Rancho Cordova on Sunrise Blvd (West side of street = clearly in Rancho Cordova) saying they are located in “Gold River” when they are certainly located in Rancho Cordova?

Sacramento Region Estate Settlement Appraisals: Who Can You Hire in Your Time of Need?

By 1 Comment

When an estate has a transfer of ownership due to death, it is very common for a real estate appraisal to be needed for tax and/or inheritance purposes. Sometimes an attorney or accountant will order an appraisal during such a circumstance or most typically have a family member or heir choose an appraiser for the job at hand.

Estate settlement or “Date of Death” appraisals are something we specialize in, and we work well with home owners in what can be a difficult time in life. Our goal is to provide a reliable appraisal in a timely manner and make the appraisal process as smooth as possible. We serve property owners and attorneys in the Greater Sacramento Region with the following counties: Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, El Dorado, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Solano, Yuba and Sutter.

You can read a previous article HERE with additional information about the estate settlement appraisal process and view a short video HERE or below.
