Wow! It's hard to believe it's been two weeks since we had a chance to post. In our small corner of real estate, things are still moving! And moving rather quickly. The end of August seems to be a busy time for those who have their homes on the market…..listings tend to expire on 8/31, the "end of the summer."

Just a quick note to remind you that if you have a vacant home that 's not sold, now would be a good time to feel out the viability of renting your home. We have a number of people who are planning to do this and considering property management services. Usually homes fresh off the market can be rented within the first month of vacancy since they're clean, tidy, and show well. If you would like a management quote let us know…if you're thinking of renting it yourself…you can get a number of free lease forms from California Apartment Association's website, www.caanet.org.
