EEM's are mortgages that are used to do energy efficient upgrades to a home.Let's say you have an older home built in 1950...your utility bills are currenty running around $250 a month on the average.You may be able to get an EEM to cover the cost of upgrades such as insulation,lighting,or other saving measures.
With the EEM you spend a little more on a higher mortgage payment but SAVE much more in energy costs...

I got a call today from my sister. Now, that is not shocking because we have a great relationship but I realized something today.Even family members are like regular sellers! What do I mean by this? Well, she wanted me to put some of their properties on the Internet. That by itself is not a problem, but the property is listed..and not by me!
So when we talked about what her properties were probably worth...well, that's when I found out that she is just like any other seller out there! She mentioned that they got one sold for $400k recently...I thought that was GREAT....so what did they want to list these others at, or put them on the internet at? She said $430k!!
Wow...I was thinking $375k myself but these others are...well you know...better....yeah thats it...
I mean don't get me wrong here or anything....I would love to help her...but she stands a MUCH better chance at a price that is under $400k...that's all...The problem is there are more than one people involved in selling these! so that makes it a whole lot different.
The Internet is Great...but it is by no means a miracle worker that brings buyers to you that want to pay more than market value...unless I have missed something here?
Now, I am not saying that they are not worth $430k or more...in fact they have some Tremendous Views of Mt Shasta that are to die for! What I am saying is that the market is going down still...not up....and no, people in the city don't want to buy something for more just because they have some money...at least not that I have found....If you find any buyers like that C-A-L-L me!
But then who am I right....I am a litle Brother ....a Broker yes...Oh that's right...but a little Brother and Brothers don't know what prices are in my area.......But I do know what it takes to Sell a property....Marketing AND Price!
When it is exposed and doesn't sell??? Well you know what is wrong......it starts with a "P"....Ok Ok I will give you a hint...it ends with an "E"....
To marketing AND Correct prices!

Rick was there every step of the way!
We watched Rick in action when he sold our home six months ago. He was the buyer’s agent. When it was time for us to buy another home, we knew who our Realtor would be ~ RICK GOATES!
Rick was there for us every step of the way. He is very dependable,
reliable and attentive. From helping us find a rental home to the closing
of our new home, he made sure everything was in place. He listened to what
we were looking for, and always watched out for our best interest. Rick
found us the house we were dreaming of. We are so happy in our new home.
Thank you, Rick.
When you’re ready to buy or sell a home call Rick Goates. You’ll be glad
you did!
Mr. Rich and Janine B.
He listened to our needs
Rick took great care of us. He listened to our needs and showed us enough homes so that we felt we were not missing any. He negotiated an excellent deal for us and made the whole process go smoothly. We highly recommend him!

Rick Goates is an Enigma
Rick Goates is an enigma - in a world of declining ethics and easily broken promises, Rick shines by being everything he claims to be and seeing through to completion everything he commits to. Then he goes a mile, two, and even
farther, to make sure his clients are happy and genuinely satisfied with his service. Gosh, what a rarity! How could someone with such integrity help but become not only our valued real estate agent but our treasured friend as well! Shucks, we like him and his beautiful family so well, we bought a house in the same neighborhood! (Well, it just happened to work out that way
really, but, heck, we moved in already knowing we had at least one GREAT neighbor! :-)
Thanks, Rick, for the superior service helping us find the "perfect" home, for your continued friendship, and for trusting us enough to mention that there was a house available on the same street as yours (sounds like a potential setup for a realtor's worst nightmare! - but we'll never give you cause to lose sleep over it...we promise ;-) ).
With fond regards, Robert & Sheree Christian
Excellent service
You can absolutely feel confident in the quality of your work and service to clients.

He got it done
We hired Rick to sell our land and he did an excellent job. It was really a tough transaction and took longer that it was supposed to because the buyers switched lenders. Rick followed thru and got it to close. We are very thankful and recommend him to anyone!
David and Chris C.
He made it so easy!
We were first time home sellers and had lot's of questions. Rick helped us through the whole thing and kept in contact with us. He kept us informed on what was happening and followed up. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Shasta County

Rick did a wonderful job for us!
Rick did a wonderful job for us. We found a beautiful horse property and the deal would not have closed without Rick's extra effort and attention to the details. Thanks Rick!
Richard & Joyce S.
Rick made it easy!
Rick found us the perfect house for our needs, and in our price range. He also put us in touch with some good people who helped our transaction go smoothly and quickly. We relocated back to Redding, from Merced. Rick was MORE than helpful at both ends. We are extremely satisfied with his way of doing business, and recommend him highly to everyone looking to buy or sell. We owe him a lot. He made, what could have been quite difficult, very easy. If we didn't call him, he called us. It didn't matter when or where he was, even boarding a business flight out of town, Rich took the time to call us and make sure we were doing alright. Don't bother looking for anyone else, we promise you Rick is more than qualified, and goes out of his way to do the best he can for your needs. THANK YOU RICK!
Your friends, Butch and Tish T.

He did exactly what he said he was going to do!

We couldn't have done it without him!
After 6 months of trying to sell our home ourselves we were getting very disappointed when we came across Rick. We were hesitant about Realtor's but Rick sounded different. He sure was, he wasn't high pressure and did exactly what he said he would do! He got it sold right away and allowed us to move on.
Becky T.
Working harder
Rick took the time to show us what we wanted when we needed to see it...That is priceless...He worked around our busy schedules.
