When the big natural gas pipeline blew up in San Bruno last September, it got a lot of attention.  It killed 8 people, and not in a good way. So, how do you know if there’s a buried pipeline near the house you’re buying? First American Natural Hazard Disclosures now has a database of pipeline locations built into their Natural Hazard Reports. Plus, they have the location mapped by parcel, so you can get a clear idea if you are at risk. We think buyer’s ought to know what they’re getting, and this report adds a relevant piece of knowledge to the purchase.

We are the only Full Service Real Estate office in the Mt Shasta Mall. At the Mall we get a lot of foot traffic. The Mall has become in effect, the main street of Redding. It’s one of the few places people stroll about, outside their car. It’s a great, no pressure place to meet buyers. But it also offers those who list their homes for sale with us an unmatched marketing platform.

There are a group of about 20 agents that work at the Mall, and we rotate shifts throughout the day, 7 days a week. I’m out here till 1:30 pm today, so stop by and say hi. It’s a unique service.
