It is the most wonderful time of the year, and during this season my thoughts turn thankfully to the clients who have made the year memorable. It is in the spirit of Christmas that I say thank you and best wishes for the holidays.

From placing the star atop the tree to baking cookies, what's a favorite holiday tradition you have with your family?

What's on your must-have list? Whether it's a cozy fireplace or high ceilings for that dream Christmas tree, I'll help you find the perfect place to celebrate the holidays for years to come.

It's never too early to start prepping your home for the spring market! Getting ahead on any renovations or maintenance issues now will put you in a better place once you're ready to list.

This winter season is unlike any other for real estate. With low inventory and high demand, you need a REALTOR who will get your current home sold for top dollar and find a new home you'll love.

Budgeting for closing costs is an important part of saving for any homebuyer, but these fees are also where some of your strongest negotiating points can be made with the seller. With my communication skills, you'll be confident in closing on the final offer.

My experience in fluctuating markets allows me to think outside the box to get your home sold.

To make your home stand out amongst all the options, it's even more important to trust my expertise in marketing. I'll help you create a listing that will sell quickly and for better than "fair market".

The fall scents and sights are showing up everywhere! What colors and finishes will be showing up in the seasonal decor around your home? #falldecor #homedecor #beautifulhomes #charminghomes

I'm here to help you navigate the market from the start of your search to the finish.

We love a good recommendation as much as we love a good latte, so tell us: Where's your favorite local spot to grab a cup that's filled with the flavors of fall? #elkgrove #coffee #latte

Finding the right location for a new home that's close to work, schools, and your family's hobbies takes an agent who knows the locale and can pinpoint the exact neighborhood you'll want to be in. Doug is available to be your guide.

Just leave the details to me.

I will find a way to get your top criteria, all within your budget, resulting in a home with the best fit for your family.

Seller Tip- When the days start to get shorter, it’s important to keep your home well lit for potential buyers passing by and any private showings in the evening. Pull back the drapes, and turn on the lights to brighten your space and add a glow to your curb appeal.

If you weren't able to find the right place over the summer, there's still time before life gets too busy this fall. I just know your next home is out there -- give me a call! (916) 548-4133

Buying and selling simultaneously takes precise time management and negotiating skills. You can depend on Doug to set the pace.
