Relocating to Sacramento? I Have Just The Place For You…

May 1st, 2009 categories: Fun Things, Relocating

Sacramento, CA
For all those home buyers relocating to the Sacramento area I have been doing a little scouting and found the perfect hotel in Downtown Sacramento where you will not miss your bed since the beds are Serta presidential and you will also be served healthy nutritious slow food in the most gorgeous setting.

I was given a wonderful tour of The Citizen Hotel located at 926 J Street by Sarah Essary, Public Relations Coordinator and had the distinct honor of meeting Mark Mathews, General Manager, Kipp Blewett, Principal Partner and the Executive Chef of Grange Restaurant and Bar, Michael Tuohy. Come along with me and learn about Grange Restaurant and Bar.

The Citizen Hotel assures me that for those relocating to the Sacramento area and mentioning our working real estate relationship to find you the perfect distinguished home, you will receive a perferred rate.

The Citizen Hotel is a Joie de Vire Boutique (Joie de vivre) hotel that was originally built in 1925 and was refurbished and brought back to life November 2008 as one of Sacramento’s premier boutique hotels. It is where the “Roaring 20’s meets the 21 st Century grace.”

Political theme runs through the hotel into each of the rooms. By the way, don’t miss checking out the restrooms at the Scandal Bar and the political artwork from Newton Pratt, a Pulitzer price winning cartoonist from the Sacramento Bee in the 40’s and 50’s. Notables are featured on the napkin wall…no I’m not there

Each 198 rooms of the hotel are different from the other due mainly to the architecture of the building along with custom made furniture which means, each of your stays at the Citizen will be different from the previous.

I was impressed with the Penthouse with its’ own balcony and views of Sacramento. Come along with me and take a tour of the Citizen Hotel with our guide, Sarah Essary.

Whether staying at The Citizen or just wanting a good meal, Grange is a slow food restaurant that serves both the hotel and other guests. The executive chef, Michael Tuohy meets local growers and establishes relationships to produce a different menu daily. I had a luscious meal and highly recommend eating at Grange. Check out Michael Tuohy’s Blog.

While at Grange, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and other Supervisors were lunching…not uncommon at the Grange. You just never know who might show up.

Enjoy viewing the videos and learning a little more about The Citizen Hotel and the Grange Restaurant and Bar.

Sacramento Real Estate Has A Tip

February 9th, 2009 categories: Relocating

As a Real Estate Broker, I have received quite a few phone calls from home buyers who are relocating to the Sacramento area.

As you can imagine, if you don’t live in Sacramento or the surrounding area it is difficult to figure out how far away Elk Grove, CA is from Roseville, CA or Land Park from Tahoe Park. These are important questions when you are relocating to the Sacramento area.

That is why I place an interactive Sacramento map on Sacramento Real Estate Voice. When clicked a larger map pops up and shows the distance between many of our neighborhood cities.

Then click on a city and information about that city pops up. When you look at homes for sale, you might want to check the city where the house is located and then take a look at the map to see the distance between where you will be working when you move to Sacramento and where you want to live.

Be sure to look on the left-side of this blog where you will find videos, photos and lots of good information about many of the communities and neighborhoods in and around the Sacramento area. I hope this helps you with your decision on where you want to live.

The next important question Sacramento home buyers have is…

”is it a good neighborhood ?”

Realtors can not answer that question as everyone has a different idea of “good” and “safe.” To try and help you with that question, I have placed two links on the right hand-side bar of my blog, Neighborhood Crime Arrest Report and Neighborhood Crime Tracker.

Both of these sites should give the home buyer plenty of information to help with questions regarding crime in neighborhoods.

Schools are the other question that most home buyers have when they are relocating to Sacramento. Again, on the right hand-side of the bar is a link GREAT SCHOOLS , just type in the City and take a look a all of the schools as well as the School District.

Once you have an address of a house you are interested in, simply call the School District and ask which Elementary, Middle and High School your child would attend if you bought that house for sale.

Everything is here to help you along with looking at all of the Sacramento homes for sale.

If you can think of something that might be useful to you or other home buyers moving to Sacramento, just leave a comment below and I will be happy to add it.

Land Park, An Outstanding Neighborhood in Sacramento

November 12th, 2007 categories: Land Park, Real Estate, Relocating, Sacramento

Take a tour of Land Park which is just a smidgen south of Downtown Sacramento right off Broadway and the historic Tower Theatre. Don’t miss eating at the Tower Cafe before heading into Land Park.

Land Park is known for its tree-lined streets and homes of character and charm. This is an area that is a testament to why Sacramento is called the “City of Trees.”

Because I have so much to say about Land Park and what it has to offer I will break this article into a two part series.

Last week, I showed a home buyer relocating from Georgia, homes in Land Park. For those considering moving to the Sacramento area, Land Park has a lot to offer. Real estate in Land Park is sought after and after seeing the area, you too will agree that this is one of Sacramento’s BEST. I have tried to condense why those that live in Land Park love it.

Be sure to view my videos and see the park as well as several of the homes in the Land Park area so that you can get a feel for this jewel of Sacramento Real Estate. It would be my pleasure to personally introduce you to Land Park and help you find just the right home.
