January 26, 2007 Samba Da' in Monterey (Sly McFly's)
THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill
Statesman’s Greg Adams took great care of my clients during my quick trip to Monterey last week for California Association of Realtors Directors’meetings. He’s nursing a handful of escrows for me plus his own load AND assisting me with the marketing of my listing portfolio. The guy’s GOOD! I’m always just a call away when I’m out of town, but it’s good to know Greg’s on the job and on call whenever I venture out of Lodi. While I was away, Greg closed one of his escrows and moved mine further along the track toward happy endings.
THE MEETINGS were informative and productive, as always, although sitting in conference rooms with the blue Pacific just outside the door is HARD! If it was a classroom, I would have been sent to the principal for daydreaming. Sitting for (literally) ten to twelve hours a day is hard on your bones!
I BALANCED the drudgery with some fine Monterey meals with friends and fellow Directors from Lodi, some great walks along Monterey Bay…and Friday night, some great music at Sly McFly’s in Cannery Row. Most of the crowd was half my age, but music’s the universal language! Geezers were welcome. The band was SambaDa’, an Afro-Brazilian-Samba-Reggae-Funk sound augmented by SEVEN strong players! The dance floor was jammed (I was adjacent to the dance floor, not on it!) and the mood was festive. The music blasted all thoughts of MLS Wars and other real estate issues from my mind. Check out SambaDa’ at SambaDa.com.
COME BY AND SAY HELLO! Today from 12 to 2, I’ll be hosting 202 North Crescent Avenue! I have no illusions about Open Houses. I know I’ll meet the neighbors, folks who will say, “I always wanted to see the inside of this home!” and friends who drop in to say Hi. That’s okay! I consider it a fringe benefit to getting my client’s home SOLD! And this one may BE sold by the time you read these words. Lots of interest. Located at Crescent and Locust and built in 1947, this home has been lovingly upgraded, leaving the original character intact. Come and see the gourmet kitchen with pullout drawerss in most cabinets (even in the island)! Lush landscaping front and back, new fencing, and recent paint! Two bedrooms with a roomy LOFT that could become a third bedroom or study. Extra-wide staircase to the loft. $475,000..Hope to see you there!
DON’T OVERLOOK 1317 Candlewood Way in North Stockton. I’ve been talking with Lodi Realtors who have discovered this value. They’re bringing their Buyers! You can’t find a 1380-square-foot home THIS nice in Lodi for $319,950. Three bedrooms, two baths, COMMUNITY POOL! Garage is currently set up (including central heat and air) for a preschool. It can easily be converted back to a garage, or use the extra square footage for a play room!
OPEN TODAY and hosted by Statesman’s Richard Mahoney from 12:00 to 2:00: 640 Eureka Avenue! Richard met some nice people at last week’s Open House, some of whom are very interested in this home! Almost 1200 square feet with two bedrooms, one bath, attached one-car garage, central heat and air. Sun Room! Close to schools, park and shopping and PRICED TO SELL at $289,950! Come see for yourself.
FACTOID: During a tasty dinner in the Captains’ Room at Monterey’s Sardine Factory, I ran across a yellowed photograph from a hundred years ago. Back then, Pacific Grove’s Lovers’ Point was known as “Jesus Lovers’ Point”. How ‘bout dat? Have a great week! See you next Sat.
