February 10, 2007 Kameron Keefer Benefit

THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill

LODI REALTOR Sara Lee Okazaki and her friends know how to throw a party! Last Saturday’s benefit for Tokay High student Kameron Keefer was a huge success. The Grape Festival grounds’ Chardonnay Hall was packed with hundreds of attendees. Dozens of friends of the Keefer family came together to support the effort in one way or another. It was gratifying to be served a hearty plate of Mexican food by a high school student in a “Kare For Kam” T-shirt! Good food, great music, and a worthy cause. What’s not to like?

YOU CAN READ the Kam Keefer story online at KameronKeefer.com. Now a sixteen-year-old, Kam’s been battling cancer since early last year. He has been through several rounds of chemo. The good news is that he’s on the mend after a valiant battle. The rest of the story is that the medical bills are huge. If you need a strong dose of inspiration, check out Kam’s website! You’ll be glad you did.

PRICE REDUCED TWENTY THOUSAND BUCKS! 1800 Orchis Court is 2134 square feet of single-story semi-custom home on a Westside Lodi cul-de-sac. At the newly-reduced price of $479,000, it’s one of Lodi’s best values. Check out the oversized bedrooms and vaulted ceilings! Great back yard with recently-installed decorative block perimeter wall! These Sellers have asked me to tell you that they’re motivated to sell and ready to DEAL on this fine home. Call me for details (or ask your Realtor to call me).

OPEN TODAY and hosted by Statesman’s Richard Mahoney from 12:00 to 2:00: 640 Eureka Avenue! Almost 1200 square feet of Northside charm. Two bedrooms, one bath, attached one-car garage, central heat and air. Check out the Sun Room! Close to schools, park and shopping and PRICED RIGHT at $289,950! (NOTE: As I sat down to write this, a local Realtor called to say there’s an offer on the way on this home! Experience tells me that an offer does NOT necessarily equal a sale, but I thought I’d let you know that it MIGHT be in escrow by the time this paper hits your flower bed. Same thing happened on another listing of mine a short time back. Somebody should tell these Buyers that the market’s BAD so they’d quit buying all these homes! It’s gonna give the press a bad name.).

SPEAKING OF SALES, congratulations are in order for Richard Birk on the successful sale of his Lodi property! Richard was referred to me five or six years ago by friends and serial clients Brad and Julie Kluza. I’ve kept in touch with Rich over the years, and now at long last I get to celebrate our success with him. THANK YOU, Brad and Julie! (And thanks to Realtor Suzie Hohsfield, who represented the Buyer).

I CAN’T THINK of the Kluzas without remembering their daughter Ashley. Today, Ashley’s a young lady and an accomplished horsewoman, but when she was seven or eight and tagging along with Mom as we looked at homes, Ashley was a kick! “Larry! There’s a park! Can we stop and swing?” I was all for it, but Mom prevailed and we pressed on in our home search.

MORE GREAT LISTINGS on the way! Watch this space for details. And if you run across a friend or family member who needs a hardworkin’ Realtor, please call me with their name and number! I promise to give them the same high level of service that I’d give you. Thanx in advance! See you next Sat.
