Christmas surprise for my daugher


My wife Kim & I decided to do something special for our 4 year old daughter on Christmas. At about 10am on Christmas morning we packed her into our car and told her "You're going to Disneyland". We checked into our hotel about 5pm Christmas day and headed to Disneyland at 8am the next day. We lasted a full 10 hours interrupted! What a wonderful time we had.


We've returned home now and are ready to prepare for the new year.


Happy Holidays to one and all!

Jonesin for Tahoe


This is stating the obvious, but I've been a Jones my entire life. And until today, I wasn't sure the proper way to say "Jonesin" for this or that. I think you know what I mean. Somewhere in time "Jonesin" came to mean want or need. "I'm Jonesin for a burger" or "I'm Jonesin for some chocolate", think of your needs and this is how you can use this phrase. It may not be as commonly used as "keeping up with the Joneses" but the phrase is still used. Why don't we ever hear "keeping up with the Smith's"? I ask that because my wife was born a Smith . . . and to think she married a Jones.


My point is this . . . I'm Jonesin for Tahoe/Truckee! How about you?

Office on Lake Tahoe


I just came down the mountain into the Sacramento region. And the weather was about the same as it was a week ago when I drove up the mountain - snow and blizzard conditions. Great news for the Tahoe/Truckee region - an early start to ski season with resorts reporting 10 feet or more of snow.


This is the office I work out of. It is literally right on Lake Tahoe. I'm lucky to have a wonderful group of people to work with. Our office is all about helping and learning from each other.


Feel free to contact me at any time with any and all your real estate need!

The sun is finally shining


Finally, the sun has come out and the winds have died down. The stormy weather had been constant from Saturday through Tuesday. Now we are truly looking at a winter winder land. There is about 5 feet of fluffy snow outside at lake level and it isn't going away any time soon. The snowfall ended and left behind cold temperatures which will preserve the snow for some time.
This picture was taken yesterday in the midst of white-out conditions. The trees and decks are still weighted down with snow but the sky is now blue.
It's a great day do enjoy the outdoors!

Lake Tahoe during Thanksgiving week!

We're spending the Thanksgiving week together here Lake Tahoe. It's been an amazing first day. It has been snowing the entire time we've been here and we have thoroughly enjoyed it! Benny(13) continues to be working on his sled run in the back yard with his assistant Maddy(4).

The feeling up here is fantastic! The smell and quiet of the mountains are so refreshing! Keep tuned, more from us up in Lake Tahoe coming soon!

As many of you, we have expanded our business to the Lake Tahoe/Truckee area.
