20% OFF Real Estate Signs (Yard Signs, Open House, Sign Riders)

Souza Realty (CA > Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Granite Bay) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:02:39 -0400

20% OFF Real Estate Signs (Yard Signs, Open House, Sign Riders)

As an independent real estate broker, we have to design and order custom real estate signs at a reasonable price (without a 100+ minimum quantity order) and I just placed an order with BuildASign.com and got 20% OFF! I don't know how long this Promo Code will last, but here it is: MEGAEFXCDK

These are the yard signs and sign riders I ordered (screenprint on aluminum signs):

I tried to support local businesses and previously contacted four sign companies in Roseville (prices were not competitive) and a Midtown Sacramento sign & printing company, who unfortunately (after a week of revisions) still could not provide me with an acceptable proof. Listening to the customer, centering text and appropriate font size selection are just a few of their weak points!

Home Stager In Roseville - Welcome Home Sacramento Furniture Rental & Staging

Last week, we hired a home stager for the first time to prepare a vacant home for sale. This was recently purchased at auction and had been vacant for over a year, so after new flooring, paint and clean-up (both inside and out), the home was ready to be staged.

Valesca Bogard, the owner of Welcome Home Sacramento (located in Roseville), did a fabulous job! Professional staging allows potential homebuyers to see how living spaces are maximized using proper furniture scale, placement and tasteful design elements.

Here is a video of the home staged by Valesca of Welcome Home Sacramento:

How To Set Up Google Sync To "Push" Gmail On Your iPhone - Instant E-Mail Notification For Mobile Phones

Souza Realty (CA > Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Granite Bay) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:00:47 -0500

How To Set Up Google Sync To "Push" Gmail On Your iPhone - Instant E-Mail Notification For Mobile Phones

I just used Google Sync to set up my Gmail account for "push" messaging (instant e-mail notification for mobile phones) on my iPhone. Now, every time I get an e-mail, my iPhone alerts me. This saves me from having to check e-mails manually and it keeps me current on all communications. It's pretty AWESOME!

This is a great (free!) alternative for iPhone users who subscribe to Apple's MobileMe service for $99 per year...check out my blog post:

iPhone - Are You Paying For Apple's MobileMe? Try Google Sync And Push For FREE!

Here is the very helpful tutorial from Google mobile:

Requirements and Upload

1. Google Sync is only supported on iPhone OS versions 3.0 and above. You can check your current version by going to Settings > General > About > Version. To upgrade, follow the instructions at http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/. Please upgrade to iPhone OS 3.0 before setting up Google Sync.
2. Perform a sync with iTunes to ensure that Contacts and Calendars from your iPhone are backed up to your computer.

Getting Started

1. Open the Settings application on your device's home screen.
2. Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
3. Tap Add Account....
4. Select Microsoft Exchange.

Enter Account Info

5. In the Email field, enter your full Google Account email address. If you use an @googlemail.com address, you may see an "Unable to verify certificate" warning when you proceed to the next step.
6. Leave the Domain field blank.
7. Enter your full Google Account email address as the Username.
8. Enter your Google Account password as the Password.
9. Tap Next at the top of your screen.
9a. Choose Accept if the Unable to Verify Certificate dialog appears.
10. A new Server field will appear. Enter m.google.com.
11. Press Next at the top of your screen again.

12. Select the Google services you want to sync.

13. Unless you want to delete all the existing Contacts and Calendars on your phone, select the Keep on my iPhone option when prompted. This will also allow you to keep syncing with your computer via iTunes.

If you want to sync only the My Contacts group, you must choose to Delete Existing Contacts during the Google Sync install when prompted. If you choose to keep existing contacts, it will sync the contents of the "All Contacts" group instead.

You've set up Google Sync for your iPhone. Synchronization will begin automatically if you have Push enabled on your phone. You can also open the Mail, Calendar or Contacts app and wait a few seconds to start a sync.

Here is a useful link:

Google Sync For Mobile - Google Calendar and Gmail Contacts

Jauregui - An Architectural Inspiration

Souza Realty (CA > Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Granite Bay) — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 23:35:31 -0500

Jauregui - An Architectural Inspiration

One of my architectural inspiration websites is JaureguiArchitect.com (I actually found the link to their website when looking at Cantera Doors, a manufacturer of iron entry doors.) Pronounced "HOW-reg-ghee" they are a Texas design/build firm with locations in Austin, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.

I love their "signature" of tiled groin vault ceilings and their use of Roman and eyebrow arches in both exterior and interior details. Take a peek at their portfolio by clicking on the pic above...it's definitely my version of eye candy! :)
