Buying and Selling Your Davis, CA Home with Keller Williams agent Carmen Isais

Davis, CA is much more than a marker on a map.  Being the child of a two college professors, I’ve lived in my share of college towns. As an adult, I’ve decided to lay down roots here in Davis because of several reasons, the Davis proactive community being one of them. With this idea in mind I share the following website: Repower America.

Repower America is the bold clean energy plan to “repower” our country with 100% clean electricity within 10 years.

First described in a speech last July by Al Gore, Repower America means new industries with high-paying jobs. It means lower energy costs. And, it means substituting clean domestic sources of energy and a transition away from dirty coal and foreign oil. Read about the goal here.

Looking to Repower your piece of the world? As an EcoBroker and former PV designer I can anser any quetions you might have about Clean Energy for your current or future home.  Just ask me. I have answers.

I have an office, I do. I’m lucky enough to have an office in the heart of Downtown Davis, located at  505 Second street.  My office is lovely, a renovated fifties home with hardwood floors, an old-fashioned porch and beautiful landscaping. But, if I’m in the office rarely. More likely, you’ll find me holding **Open Homes, previewing properties for clients or showing homes to buyers.

In between, I drink a lot of tea and love to eat. But, I also need to catch up with client emails and property requests… so, what’s a hungry, tea loving girl to do?

When individuals and families spend their money in Davis, it strengthens local businesses — and a strong local economy means many things:

• More jobs, ranging from the part-time, entry-level positions that appeal to high school and university students, to full-time sales, customer service, research, management and ownership roles.

• These local positions translate to less gas used to get to work, lightening our environmental impact; convenience and saving money on auto expenses are pleasant side effects of living and working in town.

• Customer service is excellent in Davis; often, you are purchasing from a neighbor or friend.

A major component of local spending are the benefits service clubs, non-profit organizations, sports groups and our schools reap from a strong business community: Next time you’re at the Davis Little League fields, look at the outfield fence — who’s advertising? How about Davis Youth Soccer League fields? American Youth Soccer League tournament programs? Who sponsors Davis Youth Softball teams? Who donates to the DPNS, Pioneer Elementary, Davis Kiwanis and other myriad silent auctions? Ever see Arden Fair Mall get behind a project like the Davis Art Center or underwrite the Davis High Baseball Team Golf Tournament?

What is the end result of the charitable contributions by Davis businesses?
1. The work of service clubs such as the Kiwanis and Rotary is supported.
2. Fees in youth sports stay affordable, and all families can participate; scholarships provided; facilities improved.
3. Outreach program such as Yolo Hospice and STEAC help more people; improve their services; and in some cases, just keep their doors open.
4. Ever wonder how the Madrigals get to Europe to perform?
5. Know why the City of Davis doesn’t go completely bankrupt? Answer: ever-increasing business license fees, assessment districts, building-permit fee increases, etc.

Davis is a GREAT community, with a quality of life rarely seen as its foundation. Our city is safe, clean and loaded with activities for all our residents — youth and seniors included. The local business community has a heart that beats full of charity, and it is crucial for every one of us to think first about buying in Davis — the Circle of Life of our hard-earned dollars depends on it.
