Short sales sell for less than the amount of loan values on the home. REOs are Owner Repossessed Properties that are listed and if not sold will quite often be auctioned off. Contact me for REO Auctions information.

Gateway to the Sierra, Truckee is a town which is not only rich in history, but which is undergoing changes to meet the needs of a growing community.
In recent years, the Truckee area has undergone a population explosion. One reason appears to be an influx from the Bay Area by those who have discovered Truckee•s unique lifestyle.
Despite its growth spurt, the town retains its ties with the past, particularly in Old Town centered around Commercial Row and the railroad. Here one finds delightful shops, galleries, a variety of restaurants and pubs, an historic hotel and landmarks that date from the 1860s. To the west is another historic area called Brickletown where older houses and buildings have been turned into interesting retail stores.
The town of Truckee recently completed an update of its historic preservation policies and procedures, and is considering funding some restoration grants in 2005. The town has also been placed on the State Historic Registry and is waiting for the national designation.
One of the area’s greatest draws is the abundance of activities available for the outdoor enthusiast. In the summer, you can enjoy fishing, camping, rock climbing, and water sports such as water-skiing, sailing and windsurfing. There is also tennis, golf, horseback riding and mountain biking. Hikers have a number of trails from which to choose, including a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail which will take them to mountain meadows filled with wild flowers and breathtaking scenery.
Winter brings snow and lots of it. Near Truckee are a number of first class ski resorts including famed Squaw Valley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. Many facilities also include sledding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowboarding. The season can run from Thanksgiving, or earlier, to May depending on Mother Nature.
Using Truckee as a base, it is a short trip to Reno, Nevada where casinos provide gaming and a wide variety of entertainment. And, your stay should include a day trip around Lake Tahoe for the spectacular scenery.
Even closer is Donner Lake and the rugged peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The lake is not only rich in history and site of an state historic park, but it provides a number of recreational activities based at West End Beach. The High Sierra has been designated one of California’s 12 uniquely varied regions with elevations ranging from 5,900 to 9,000 feet.
Despite its growth, Truckee still retains its small town atmosphere. With the Truckee river flowing by and snow capped mountains in view, it provides visitors with its own brand of old west hospitality.
