Review on Yelp

I received a wonderful review on Yelp last week.

Here is the review in full in case you don't want to view it on the Yelp site:

"Nathan Sherman is a terrific realtor. I've bought and sold a number of homes over the years, and I really appreciate key qualities in a realtor - good listening skills, patience, and flexibility. Nathan has all these qualities - and he has a great sense of humor, too! I "found" Nathan at an open house months before I could seriously consider purchasing a home. Nathan understood and immediately showed me his "I'd be willing to live here" list of homes. Within a day he had me setup with alerts to help me narrow my search, was helpful when I would find things on my own and welcomed viewing those properties again with me. And, it really is all about you - Nathan frequently said "buy the right house for you ...someone will buy this one". In the end, I found exactly what I was looking for, in a comfortable price range, great location, and on schedule."

Open House at 354 34th St

I'm holding an open house today at 354 33th St just off McKinley Blvd. This is an amazing 4 bed 3 bath home with over 2450 square feet.

I love the look of this home with the classic East Sac brick exterior.

There were a couple sets of clients through that were very serious about the house, both through for the second time. Hopefully an offer will be coming soon...

39th and M Pre-Stucco

Updates on 39^th and M in East Sac: They have the house wrapped and getting ready for stucco. It will take three coats of stucco to complete the job so they might have it finished by the end of next week…

39th and M Artist Rendering

Updates on 39^th and M in East Sac: This is the amazing artist rendering of what the home at 39^th and M will look like.

Steve Hubbard is the artist and he has done an incredible job of giving us a look into the future. Of course, some details may change between now and the completion.

East Sac Chamber Lunch

Today’s East Sac Chamber Of Commerce lunch was at Vanilla Bean Bistro at 3260 J Street. The food was an amazing mix of California Cuisine with a Turkish twist (just like their marketing says). The company was excellent and the speaker was talking about social media, so updating my blog was almost mandatory after that.

39th & M Front Door

Updates on 39^th and M in East Sac: The front door for 39th and M is in.

OK, is this the coolest door ever or what?

Tree Height in Sacramento

I'm at UC Davis Med Center visiting my wonderful step-mom who has been here for over three weeks now. She is recovering from a serious spinal surgery.

My amazing wife was very persistent in getting her moved from her last room to her current room so that she could be by the window and have a great view of the trees.

It turns out that the trees in the Elmhurst neighborhood just north of UC Davis are about five stories tall. What a great view! Environment plays a great part in recovery and the Sacramento trees a huge bonus for us.

Patio Dining at its Finest

Got to love a California summer evening in one of East Sac’s best kept dining secrets, our back yard…

What a way to celebrate 8 years and 10 days of a wonderful marriage!

958 Q Street Open House

Held an open house for a great listing of mine at 958 Q St.

There aren't many condos for sale in the downtown/midtown area and even fewer with garages that have direct access into the home.

This is a great complex and this is my second of hopefully many listings in the Saratoga Townhomes...

39th & M Trim

Updates on 39^th and M in East Sac: It is now starting to look like the English Tudor that it will be. I love the trim work on this home.

All the little details that will go into finishing off this house are amazing and they still have a couple months to go before it is finished. This corner of 39 and M is starting to take shape. Next week should be the roofing and stucco…

39^th and M, Fab 40’s East Sac

Sold – 1723 11th Ave

What an amazing home this Land Park house is! It’s perfect for my clients and I hope they take me up on the offer to come over and cook in the master chefs kitchen. I’m thinking risotto with gorgonzola and sun-dried tomatoes…

Sold – 717 Dunbarton

I had the great honor of listing this property and representing the buyer. This is the best unit in all of Campus Commons!

717 Dunbarton Sacramento

Sold – 4119 Pebble Oaks, Antelope

This is an amazing home in Antelope that is just perfect for
my buyers. Everything even down to the pool was a perfect fit. The closing
process was crazy, but we made it through to the end!

Sold – 1633 39th St

This little house is in need of lots of love but when my clients are done with it we will have another amazing East Sac home…

39th & M Windows

Updates on 39^th and M in East Sac: OK, I’m having a lot of fun taking pictures from the same spot across the street and then flipping through them on my computer and watching the house magically pop up. I’ve got the easy part of this job!

Fortunately I only live a few blocks away so a jaunt through the Fab 40's for another picture doesn't take up any extra time.

All the windows are now in and the house has taken shape. This is going to be an impressive home!

New Listing 5706 Amnest Way – Now Pending

On 8/2/11 we brought 5706 Amnest Way on the market as a short sale and by 8/15/11 we were under contract. The bank is moving along on the short sale process and we hope that this is a smooth one…

39th & M Roof

Updates on 39^th and M in East Sac: The attic space is HUGE in this house! We have been talking about finishing off a large section of the attic to have some serious storage space up there.

Notice the guy at the top of the roof line. While I lack the healthy fear of heights that many people posses, there is no way that you would get me up there doing that work.

39th & M Framing

Updates on 39^th and M in East Sac: It is amazing what they can do in just a few weeks with a dedicated crew! Walking through the site I can finally get a feel for what the finished house will look like. We are still a few weeks before seeing what the corner of 39th and M will look like, but the roof will complete the lines.

I love the view from the windows on the second story right there at the corner. You can look down 39^th Street or M Street for a good ways before the canopy of trees covers takes over the distance.
