Every real estate agent at one time or another ends up showing homes in an area they know very little about. Most of the time, it takes just a bit of homework to learn an area well and then be able to help a client make an informed decision about a home and its area.
On Monday and Tuesday of this week I became friendly with an area that wasn't just your normal suburban or city neighborhood, I was up in Placer and El Dorado Counties showing properties that even my GPS couldn't find. When I called one agent to ask about the road leading to a property in Placerville off Mosquito Road, she told me it was a "windy a** road" and she was not kidding. If you've never taken Mosquito Road into Swansboro County, the trip is a must. Many parts of the road go down to one lane, with hair pin turns and a one lane, very narrow bridge.
While the trip in was beyond nerve-wracking, by the time I was heading out, I actually had fun driving that crazy road. I'm not sure I'd like to drive it everyday, but the area is so breathtaking and beautiful out there, I can see why people do.
So, I have now added the foothill county communities of Placer and El Dorado to my repertoire of areas I'm familiar with and happy to tour. Seat belts required.
