Happy Birthday to my husband, Joe!! If you think I'm awesome, you should meet Joe! He is kind and patient (especially with me) and makes me a better daughter, sister, Mama, wife, Realtor and human being in general. Thanks, babe, for all you do. I you!

I hope you had a wonderful day with your families! I just want to share a HUGE part of my heart with all of you: my sassy, spicy but mostly sweet baby Sagey! This little human really is something special and I'm reminded again today, what a gift she truly is to our family. I'd love to see your photos from today, if you feel comfy sharing. Please post in comments or message me. Have a great weekend!

Happy #VeteransDay! Thank you so much to all the incredibly brave veterans out there who have worked hard and sacrificed everything for our country.

Merry Christmas to you and your family! AND HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to my both my sellers on the sale of your homes! Thank you for choosing me as your Realtor! On behalf of my team & my sellers, we wish the buyers all the very best in their new home. What a perfect Christmas gift!

Did you know: According to DaveRamsey.com, the median price for a home in the United States was $270,000 in February 2020. That’s a whopping 8% from 2019. If you bought a home this year, how did you manage the price bump? #HomeBuyers #arlenemouarealtor #arlenemouarealestate #sacramentorealestate #elkgroverealestate #californiarealestate #whoisyourrealtor #realestate #realtor #nationalcandyday #ilovereferrals #realestatereferrals #homesellers #sellyourhome #callme

Congratulations to Pip's Mama on the sale of her very first home! Andrea-I knew we were meant for each other the very first time our eyes met as you strolled into my open house in West Sac that warm afternoon, sans face mask, circa 2017. It's been nothing but peachy keen since. I feel like your not too much older sister who got to witness you blossom into the super accomplished full-on badassyou are today. ... Thank you for choosing me as your Realtor! I love you so much! Cheers to a lifetime of friendship and, oh, so many more accomplishments!

Design tip of the day: take some time to curate the corners and shelves of your home with a few small accessories. Some excellent pieces of #decor that can act as a simple yet chic statement are succulents, photos, candles, trinkets from your travels, your favorite books, small vases, and unique art. Do you have any other suggestions? ... #hometips #arlenemouarealtor #arlenemouarealestate #sacramentorealestate #elkgroverealestate #californiarealestate #whoisyourrealtor #realestate #realtor

Winter is coming which means it’s time to prepare the house for the cold days ahead! For example, one of the most important steps you should keep in mind is to clean out your fireplace before your first use to avoid any complications. #HomeBuyers #arlenemouarealtor #arlenemouarealestate #sacramentorealestate #elkgroverealestate #californiarealestate #whoisyourrealtor #realestate #realtor #nationalcandyday #ilovereferrals #realestatereferrals #homesellers #sellyourhome

Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday! Remember to show your favorite small businesses some extra love today. Not only do purchases from small businesses support a company full of hard-working and passionate people, but it’s better for the environment too! Think big. Shop small.

Happy #BlackFriday! As exciting as deals are, standing in lines is overrated these days, don’t you think? How about instead, take the plunge and invest in a house! It’s so much more fun than waiting in line at 3 AM. #HomeBuyers #arlenemouarealtor #arlenemouarealestate #sacramentorealestate #elkgroverealestate #californiarealestate #whoisyourrealtor #realestate #realtor #nationalcandyday #ilovereferrals #realestatereferrals #homesellers #sellyourhome #callme

Happy Halloween everyone! What are your plans for this year’s Halloween? Staying inside to hand out candy, hosting a Halloween party in your own home, or turning off the lights and pretending like no one’s home?

Happy Thanksgiving! And a special Happy Thanksgiving to all the clients who take eating as seriously as the #housingmarket. Hey, it’s very important to find a #realestateagent who gets you, and this is just one (very important) aspect.

Definition time! Today’s lexicon is escrow Escrow is a super common word in real estate because it’s essential. An escrow is a legal arrangement where a third party temporarily holds the property or deposit until a specific condition has been met of the home-buying process.... The reason why escrow is important is that it: 1 Protects the homeowner’s home until all conditions are met on the buyer’s side 2 Protects the buyer’s deposit until all conditions are completed

This time of year TYPICALLY the market starts to sloooooow down. But not so this year! It's still popping! So if you are looking to sell DO IT! Or and ME!

There are two things to be very thankful for this holiday season: 1 Your business. Without your continuous support, this business would not be possible! So thank you so much for your engagement, referrals, views, likes, and everything else. It means the world! 2 Elastic waistbands. Could you even get through the holidays without elastic? ... #HomeBuyers #arlenemouarealtor #arlenemouarealestate #sacramentorealestate #elkgroverealestate #californiarealestate #whoisyourrealtor #realestate #realtor #nationalcandyday #ilovereferrals #realestatereferrals #homesellers #sellyourhome #callme

According to the top realtor resources, fall is a great season of the year to buy or sell #realestate because of the decreased competition yet increased demand from buyers. Plus, not to mention the added bonus of having Mother Nature naturally decorate your curb appeal with beautiful fall colors!

Confession: Today was one of THE longest days of my real estate career and I still have a couple more hours to go. I'm not complaining. I accept that there is burden that comes with blessings...see the attached photo for one of the said blessings... Milo and his Mommy & Daddy have been shopping for what feels like FOREVER (over a year) and finally closed on the perfect home today!! Did I mention we beat out 10 offers? Yup! And I could not be more thrilled for them!!! ...If I can help you or your loved ones, please don't be shy and give me a call. I don't bite, I promise! And I'm really good at what I do and I'll take better care of you than I would my siblings and if you know me, you know I'd kill for my siblings so just imagine how much I would on you or anyone you refer #truestory #justcallmealreadygeez 916-838-3489

CONGRATULATIONS to my buyer, Sharon, and seller, Joan on the close of this Sun City Lincoln Hills gem!

Is there anything more true than this statement? Well, okay maybe your kid or your dog comes in a VERY close second. Who’s dreaming about this statement to be true one day?... Why wait any longer? Let’s find your dream home.

DAAAAAAAAANG! I'm GOOD! Seriously, though, THANK YOU guys so much Lancaster, Cha, Riley & Lucas! You guys were so great to work with!

What if you absolutely fell in love with a home it checks off every single checkbox on your wish list. But then you discovered that several people had moved out because they heard strange noises. And they couldn’t shake off this chilling feeling they got as soon as they moved in. That's when you discovered that it could be haunted... Would you still buy it?

Final walk-thru day!!!! Can't wait to hand over the keys

If you’re looking to sell your home this year, fall is the best time to do so! Why? Here are 5 reasons: 1 Demand is high from customers.... 2 There aren’t that many sellers on the market. How opportune is that? 3 In the more popular months, it could take a long time to get through the paperwork and talk to banks. But since there isn’t that much activity on the selling side, the process will go faster. 4 The longer you wait, the higher interest rates may go up. 5 You are thinking about selling! This means something and you should take a look at how your current house is serving you, and if you are ready to flip to the next chapter of your life fall is a great time to start. See more

So many people are moving right now! Where would you love to live? Is it your current neighborhood or somewhere else you have always wanted to go to?

What can a #RealEstateAgent bring to the table that a #ForSaleByOwner (#FSBO) can’t? Besides basically being a therapist (how did real estate agents get roped into that by the way?), they are trained to be... Experts at marketing... Excellent negotiators Have a trained background and experience working in the field So, while tempting to be your own seller to mitigate lost commission costs, you run the risk of not getting the maximum profit out of your home, or worse missing the mark completely and not being able to make the sale.

Thank you, Mai!!! Thank for choosing me!!!! I'm one heck of a lucky gal! **backstory: all homes we saw on market were no bueno. I was able to secure a fantastic home OFF-MARKET for Mai & her fam. Smooth as butter escrow because Mai was a kickass buyer and so was my seller. CONGRATULATIONS to the both of you!! Wishing you the best in your new homes! #arlenemouarealtor #arlenemouarealestate #whoisyourrealtor #sacramentorealestate #realtorlife #realestate #californiarealestate

There are three stages of #coffee consumption during a home-buying process: 1 Casual coffee while you and your real estate agent get to know each other. Sips are very respectful or used as a prop to help you think. You’re optimistic. 2 You frantically chug your third coffee trying to remember all the terminology your real estate agent taught you, organizing your pro-and-con list, and realizing that if you want your dream home you’d have to have at least 27 rooms and have ...27x the amount of savings. 3 You calmly sip your coffee as you sign the very last document on Closing Day. Sips are now a breath of fresh air again, but maybe you take a break from the caffeine and get some sleep now. What stage are you at?

Is there anything more heartwarming than adding some fall decor outside your home as the season changes? It’s such a pleasure to drive down a street and see houses lined with fun, festive decorations. Anyone else agree with this? This fall, try adding some simple fall decor to boost your curb appeal and give back to the community that’s welcomed you in.

Congratulations to my clients on the sale of their Los Osos property! Now we can move forward with closing on their Elk Grove purchase. Shout out to the best REAL ESTATE referral partner in the Central Coast, Ali McGuckin, who led the charge! Thank you!! Need a Realtor in the Central CoastYou better call Ali!!

It’s a beautiful sight to see the leaves change to vibrant orange and red hues. And it’s so satisfying to crunch fallen leaves under your boots. But you know what’s even more beautiful and satisfying? A clean driveway!... Here’s your friendly reminder to get that rake out and tidy up those leaves! This will keep your house looking inviting and less like an abandoned haunted house. (Although maybe that’s a good thing for Halloween? )

CHEERS to getting my supercalifragilisticexpialidocious clients FIRST dibs on a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW build of their choice BEFORE builder release. (Cuz I'm a total real estate stalker. Yup.) #arlenemouarealtor #arlenemouarealestate #whoisyourrealtor #callme #sacramentorealestate #californiarealtor #californiarealestate

CONGRATULATIONS Diane & Jimmy on your NEW HOME!! I'm so excited for you and I know you are just going to love your new space so much! Thank you for trusting me! Who's next??

Hot seller tip comin’ in for ya: Offer a #HomeWarranty as part of the sale. Why? A home warranty ultimately boosts a buyer’s confidence in purchasing your property, especially first-time buyers. Most home warranties last for a year after the closing date and can cover things such as plumbing and electrical, appliances, and the heating and cooling system.... Though not the same as home insurance, it can cover failures in the house up to a certain amount, like insurance. #nowyouknow #callme916-838-3489

It was a BUSY weekend! Just how I like it!! Congratulations to my buyers and sellers on their ACCEPTED OFFERS!! Time to start packing!

It seems almost everything is connected these days. Want to check the temperature of your oven from outside? See how much milk you have in the refrigerator from the market? It’s possible! You can now control almost every aspect of your home from your smartphone. Yet with all this connectivity, you need a powerful internet network. If you’ve suddenly realized you have dead spaces, then it might be time to consider a mesh network.... A basic wifi network relies on the antennae of the router to reach all the connected devices. A mesh network uses a series of access devices that connect to the main hub and each other forming a mesh of coverage. This helps eliminate the dead spaces because, in essence, you are creating overlapping wireless zones. Smart devices benefit from the mesh network system. Unlike extenders that have their own identity, every device in a mesh network has the same name. This provides seamless coverage as smart products move between connectors. For example, items such as camera systems or multiple thermostats stay on the same network, allowing them to better coordinate with each other. The smarter our homes become, the greater the strain on our internet connections. Mesh networks are just one way to ensure the best possible coverage throughout your home and property. Smart products are only valuable when they are online.

There are so many factors that are involved in selling a home. That’s why it’s beneficial to hire an expert in the field, a #RealEstateAgent, so you make sure you get the most out of your sale, make informed decisions, and don’t miss any of the important details throughout the process!

Ready to list your house Before you do take a look at these 6 easy ways you can elevate your home and make it more desirable to sellers! 1. Upgrade your outdoor space. Now that we are spending so much time at home have a comfy and functional outdoor space has become even more important. It doesn't have a cost a lot. Little things like sprucing up the landscape or adding a fire pit for along way. Make sure you stage the area too for showings! 2. Create a functional home of...fice or classroom area. Pretty much everyone is either working from home or schooling from home so showing prospective buyers how you are creating that space in your home will help them visualize it for themselves. 3. Add separation of space. Not everyone loves open floor plans and with the entire family at home people need ways to create privacy and quiet. Adding barn or pocket doors is an easy way to create that. 4. Create space for a home gym. People want to be able to continue their workout routine whether they can get in the gym or not. So creating a room or even a corner to show how they can have their own private workout space will go a long way. 5. Spruce up the guest suite. If you have a guest house this can be an attractive feature for buyers right now - especially those with multi-generational households or people looking for a potential source of income. 6. Makeover the laundry room. People are doing a lot more laundry now and paying a lot more attention to cleanliness and hygiene. So if you have a dedicated laundry room spruce it up and make space for the ironing, folding and hang-drying. Is there anything that you think is missing form this list?

A backsplash can make or break your kitchen in terms of aesthetics. And for something that is so vital in contributing to the overall vibes of your kitchen, it doesn’t take very long at all! In fact, it can be done in just one weekend. So consider this your permission slip to go ahead and get started on revamping your kitchen!

This market is ! If you have thought about selling your home now is the time to do it! Give me a call 916-838-3489 and let's get your house sold! (Courtesy of Ryan Lundquist)
