I truly enjoy hosting open houses at homes like one at 9335 Friant Street in Rancho Cucamonga. The house is very clean and has been well maintained and offers many features attractive to buyers - open spaces, large closets, comfortable kitchen, sparkling pool and spa, covered patio, private backyard. Those things are all very important, but what sets the house apart to me is the view from the second story. Buyers focused on the size of four bedrooms and the walk-in closets in three of them may not take time to pull back the drapes or peek through the blinds to see the outside world.  But as they prepare to descend the stairs, they can't help but notice the large window illuminating the stairway and framing the outside world. For me, the ever-changing view of the mountains out that wind... 02/05/2009

Downsizing a Home Requires Cutting Contents, too (edit/delete) I ran across this article this morning and thought I would share it as I am one of these people looking at downsizing and the daunghnting task of "re-structuring" the home. Its painful to say the least! Happy reading.   RISMEDIA, January 23, 2009-(MCT)-The kids have moved out. Those three bedrooms are looking awfully lonely. That spacious backyard that once served as a barbecue pit/football field/volleyball court now looks like a breeding ground for weeds, not to mention back-breaking acreage during mowing season. You want to move to something smaller, but the task seems overwhelming. There’s a basement full of boxes, a garage stuffed with unused toys and rusting machinery. Let the experts help you get moving.

Before city streets and housing tracts, the land beneath Rancho Cucamonga was covered in vineyards and orchards. And before THAT, in 1860, John Rains built a brick home in the middle of his vast rancho. The Rains House still stands at 8810 Hemlock Street, just off Vineyard Avenue north of Foothill Boulevard. In the 1970s, restoration began and Casa de Rancho Cucamonga became a historic site of the San Bernardino County Museum.  On Saturday, Dec.6, 2008, the public will be welcomed at an annual festive open house from 3 to 8 p.m.  The Alta Loma High School Chamber Singers and Tapia Gold, led by Bob Fox, are scheduled to perform as guests tour the lavishly decorated home and enjoy hot cider and ginger molasses cookies, along with a bit of Rancho Cucamonga lore.  Suggested donations are $3... 12/02/2008
