Real Estate Expenses - Plumber Modesto Costs

Real estate expenses breakdown from a plumber: Tony's Plumbling Services Inc. in Modesto and Oakdale.  My advice is to find a plumber who carry more plumbing parts in the truck...

Driving home the other day 4/26/2011, Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance" was playing on the radio in the car and the song has been stuck in my head for a while...

Electronic Signatures - Not a Reality | Modesto Seller / Bank Owned Property

While trying to fast-track a real estate purchase agreement using the free electronic signature software offered by the real estate professional association NAR, I got the response from the real estate listing agent notifying me about the requirement of signature by hand.  Paperless transaction is not a real estate reality as of last week, April 19, 2011 in part (or all) of the Modesto real estate REO / bank owned market.

Downloading the real estate contract, signing it by hand, scanning the real estate purchase agreement and sending it by email in addition to faxing the paperwork takes very little time though.  Expediantly Expediently, all were accomplished in record time. 

Digital Signature - Buying Real Estate using Paperless Agreements



The above screen shot showed the email notification from zipLogix and the email was automatically sent after the online real estate agreement was not acknowledged by the real estate listing agent.  Pertinent home for sale address, realtor information, and detail purchase document link was blurred and "pixelated" to ensure confidentiality.

Note:  The spell checker was used before posting this real estate blog entry - another very good tool to use for real estate agents who are involved in real estate transactions - real estate contracts, real estate agreements, real estate MLS listings, etc.  I left the misspelled word in 'strikethrough' font format and the spelling mistake was reported by the spell checker.

Oakdale Home on mls and Oakdale Restaurant - California Day Trip



Oakdale Home


I saw this home in Oakdale CA on the mls, listed by Lebon Real Estate.

The 6.5 acres in the property description caught my attention.  I rarely tour / preview any property like this one.














Oakdale Restaurant - Modesto Bee email update

  I remember reading about the new restaurant in Oakdale from the Modesto Bee - Mary Beth's Grand Central Station, 220 S. Sierra Ave, Oakdale.


So my family and I decided to take a weekend trip to look at a couple of Oakdale homes and try the new restaurant in Oakdale.  (Fast forward 3 days)  I still remember the Triple-Layered French Toast with Sweet Cream Cheese, half of the french toast with Strawberries and the other half with Caramelized Peaches  - I ordered it in half of each flavor since I wanted to sample both and couldn't decide with one to try first.  The chef didn't mind preparing the order in this special way for me - I was really appreciative. 

Anyway, regarding the Oakdale home - there was a gate leading to the property and it didn't seem like there was access to the home from the road.  I'll have to see if there will be an Open House scheduled for the home on Orange Blossom Road and make another trip to Oakdale from Modesto - a good excuse for a Modeso Realtor to visit her newly discovered restaurant with her favorite french toast on the menu...

The following criteria were used in the real estate search:

• Price range of the home search is between $250,000 to $600,000

It would be good to have an 'excuse' (home buyers) so as to call the home owner selling the home.  I happen to be in town this weekend.  There is a Gallo performance and a HOA meeting I have to attend this weekend.  Other than that, I'm free.
