This is my Broker Steve Keefe and he is getting Honored at the Blue Jay Jazz Festival

This is Steve Keefe, Broker Owner of Coldwell Banker Sky Ridge Realty in Blue Jay, California!

Steve is the reason I am in Real Estate and I have much to be thankful for because of him including his enthusiasm and encouragement he manages to provide everyday.  It is not easy to be Steve Keefe, here are just a handful of things this guy does on a regular basis… He is first a husband to his beautiful wife Jamie, a father to his 2 sons (who puts his heart and sole into both their activities on a daily basis), a coach, a broker to 60 agents, an Angels fan, a golfer and the list goes on and on.  Steve is constantly on the up-and-up with all the latest and greatest tools for his business.  I am amazed at the energy this man has and also I have the utmost respect for him because if ever any agent in the office (remember there are 60) needs to talk, he is ALWAYS available and will take the time to listen and or help you build your business.  Steve can sometimes be a firecracker, but then again can’t we all.

On August 7th, Steve is being recognized at the Blue Jay Jazz festival!  I just wanted to brag a little about my Broker.  Hope to see you all there!

35th Annual Run Through the Pines ~ Lake Gregory

SAVE THE DATE… August 9, 2014 for the 35th Annual Run Through the Pines!  This run takes place at Lake Gregory in Crestline, CA.

I run this trail all the time and can personally say that I have ran in this race.  I can speak from experience that this run is fairly easy and lots of fun!  Remember that you will be running in high altitude, so be prepared to be a little winded if you are not used to the elevation!

The run features: 5K Run/Walk, Race-Walk, Kids Fun Run, 10K, music, water stations, chip timing and computerized race results, course patrolled by Emergency Communications and much more.

You can register @ https://register.chronotrack.com/reg/form?eventID=8359 or find more info on the Rim-Rec website: http://rim-rec.org/

Remember to run safe and have fun!

My Pick of the Day July 3, 2014 ~ Tour Day

Today’s pick of the day is 479 State Hwy 173 in Lake Arrowhead. Priced at $525,000. This 1944 Cabin sits on the hwy, has some views of the lake and… comes with a New MJS Single Slip trex dock with Permanent Aluminum Awning! This cute, charming cabin does need some updating on the inside (and that’s my opinion), but at this price, with the dock and the 2 car garage… It is the perfect package and could be turned into a stunning mountain home!

Here are a few pics form the listing and also the link to Realtor.com

Remember to call or email me for a showing or for more details on this Pick of the Day!
