Anne Fashauer Anderson Valley Real Estate

It's that time of year when it seems everyone is having a party or there's some kind of gathering to attend.  It's fun to see everyone out and about and often dressed a little differently, perhaps with a little more flair, than the rest of the year.  Two recent events included the Boonville Big Band at Lauren's and the ...

One of the local attractions in our area is the variety of dance and music available to learn and listen to.  There are East Coast Swing lessons, West Coast Swing lesson, square dancing, Capoeira, belly dance, salsa, English Country dancing and Argentine tango (and probably others I'm missing).  Many of you know that earlier this ...

The past few weeks have been busy!  I had several clients come into town to look at property and it looks like two of them have found the places they want to buy.  Have they made offers yet?  No.  And I think this is indicative of our current buyer's market.  The buyer's now know that the clock is on their side; ...

You know how you can live in a place and still not take advantage of all that there is to offer?  For years I lived in San Francisco, but other than the first trip to Alcatraz when I was a freshman at USF I never went there again.  Well, this past weekend I took a walk for the first time on the Haul Road in Fort Bragg.  What a ...

To get a license to practice real estate in the state of California you have to take three classes and pass a test.  To become a REALTOR one has to do that and sign a Code of Ethics.  One thing I want to point out is that in our local area we are very fortunate - almost every one practicing real estate is also a REALTOR - something like ...

I was reminded today of the importance of a buyer speaking with a mortgage lender prior to beginning the home search process.  I received a call from a local renter wanting to take advantage of the current buyer's market.  I suggest the person speak with our local Century 21 Mortgage broker, Steve Guenza; all of our agents have ...

Last week was so packed with stuff I did not get a chance to write and I apologize for that.  I spent two full days showing property which was really fun and exciting.  I also had things like the Elk Town Meeting and the monthly Realtor's association luncheon.  It was just one of those weeks. I promised to write a little about ...

We had a wet and windy couple of days - wonderful to get all of that rain.  My mom keeps track of what we get at my place and she said we had two inches over the rainy period!  There was also some thunder and lightning, which always is exciting.  We are expecting a few dry days and then apparently a series of storms are headed our ...

I just sent out my monthly newsletter (if you don't already receive this, please drop me an email at anne@annefashauer.com) and in that I covered the foreclosure process, mostly as it relates to buying a bank owned property.  One subject that came up there that I want to talk a bit about here is the appraisal process. What we've been ...

I'm a bit late writing a blog post for this week - I sent out my monthly newsletter and that took the usual time slot for my blog writing.  I wanted to write something even if it's a bit short this week. I want to plug my friend John Fry who has an exhibit of his photography at the Mosswood Cafe in Boonville.  John's work is ...
