With Winter in full effect, now is a good time for homeowners who have lived in their newly constructed home to make sure their home is prepared for the season. Regular home maintenance prevents future damage and maintains proper operation of your home. (more…)

The Holidays are a great time to live on the wild side of your style personality. Red, green and blue are not the only colors for the season anymore.
You could be a minimalist and choose a monochromatic palette of a wintry white- candles can help with this theme, PotteryBarn.com has a great example.

Actually a whole month of giving! Thanks to our amazing homeowners, great employees, and wonderful folks like you, SummerHill Homes raised over $500 and approx. 1,000 pounds of food for the Second Harvest Food Bank of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and the Alameda County Food Bank!
WOW! Thank you EVERYONE for your participation!
We are so proud to support agencies that combined serve over 376,000 people a year. With your help, these food banks are making sure that no child, senior, or family goes hungry this holiday season.
In the spirit of giving…What else have you done to support your local community this holiday season? Do you have a non-profit organization you love to support?
Happy Day after Thanksgiving & Friday!

As we get ready to enjoy Thanksgiving with our families, we realize that we have a lot for which we can be thankful. This year has been fraught with challenges for many and we haven’t been immune to those challenges. We are a smaller company this year that we were last year.
We’re fortunate to have a family like atmosphere that enabled our team to rise to the new challenges by taking on new responsibilities to exceed our goals. We’re even more fortunate to have an executive team that has helped us navigate these times through carefully navigating the business needs to mentoring the team to successfully achieve new goals.
There has been a lot of excitement for our company on a personal front as well – several new engagements, a few new babies plus a few on the way, several new homeowners, and much more.
We’re also grateful for the new homeowners we’ve welcomed this year at Echelon, Lane Woods, Merimont, Park Station, Parkwood, Redwood Gate, Rosewood, and Village Square. (more…)

Halloween parties with ghoulish treats, hot drinks and always too much food… Sound familiar?
Probably, and it sounds familiar to me too. Luckily, my family has always had enough (more than enough) food for parties, holidays, and every day. But some folks here in my community aren’t so lucky. Every month the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties provides food to more than 207,000 people. (more…)

Community Spotlight this week is on Parkwood!
The Parkwood community in San Jose has two types of homes… the Redwoods, a single family home and the Gardens, a townhome style condominium. A couple great advantages to this community? (more…)

Well, maybe a few days after Thanksgiving, but November 30th is coming up quicker than you might think if you’re in the market for a new home.
Debra, our amazing sales rep at Talavera (oh and fantastic brownie baker!), sent me a link to Trulia regarding the $8k Tax Credit from dear ol’ Uncle Sam.
