Tracy Chamber Announces New Art and Food Festival

Tracy Chamber Taste of the Valley Art and Food Festival 2014 replaces Tracy Dry Bean Festival
Chamber Announces New Art and Food Festival
Tracy, CA– March 17, 2014: Tracy Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Taste of the Valley Art and Food Festival in place of the Tracy Bean Festival on September 6th & 7th in Downtown Tracy.

After observing several years of declining attendance, the chamber Board of Directors decided to give the festival a complete makeover with a new name and new focus. The Taste of the Valley Art and Food Festival will feature a fresh farmers market with crops grown in the region such as beans, tomatoes, almonds, etc. In addition to returning vendors, new attractions such as food tastings, art displays and sales, kids’ attractions, a wine and brewery section as well as 3 stages of live entertainment. 

Our ultimate goal with the new changes to the festival is to create more opportunities for businesses and produce an event that this community can be proud of. Our marketing efforts will increase throughout the region to promote visitors from surrounding cities to enjoy this great event in Tracy,” stated Chamber President, Sofia Valenzuela.

“We felt we needed to find ways to expand the reach of the event, not only within Tracy but also outside the community by including expanded food vendors and a farmers market element as well as adding art and expanded cultural exhibits to the event,” commented Chamber Board Chairman Mike Donaghy.

The Chamber has hired event planner, Grace Paget of Captivating Moments Events Planning and Management to lead the efforts of bringing a new festival experience to the community. Mrs. Paget will work alongside a festival planning committee comprised of chamber staff and board members to maintain existing relationships with vendors and recruit new vendors to complement the event.

“Captivating Moments is truly excited and grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the Chamber and lead the planning of this community focused event.  Our goal is to design a unique, appealing and profitable festival that can demonstrate the richness in culture, artistry and diversity that exists in San Joaquin Valley," commented event planner Grace Paget.

The Taste of the Valley Art and Food Festival will continue to promote Tracy by offering booths to local businesses as well as promote locally grown foods. Vendor applications  for this event will be made available in April and can be requested by contacting the Chamber office, 209-835-2131 or visiting the Chamber website, www.tracychamber.org
 
For more information about the Taste of the Valley Art and Food Festival contact Sofia Valenzuela at the Chamber, 209-835-2131.


7 Home Seller Tips for 2014

7 Home Seller Tips for 2014: How to avoid costly mistakes

These great tips can help you get the results you want: to sell your home for the most money in
the least amount of time.

#1: Prepare your home for the buyer
When buyers look at your home, they must be able to imagine
themselves living there. Buyers have an emotional response when
they enter your home. Use their emotions to work for you. The first
impression is the decision maker for a buyer, so give them the feeling
that they are “home.” Here are a few tried and true tips for making a
good first impression:
• Is the outside of your home inviting? Consider staging the exterior
of your home.
• Tour your home as though you were a buyer, what do you notice?
So will buyers.
• De-clutter. Clutter takes the focus away from your home and
makes space look cramped.
• Hire a professional cleaning company to keep dust and dirt away.
• Pets can often be the anti-sale. If you are planning an open house,
fi nd a pet hotel for the day.
• A bright and well-lit room is a must for buyers. Maximize the light
in your home.
• De-personalize your home so buyers can feel like it is their home.
Remove family photos, religious décor and kitschy memorabilia.

#2: Price it right

We know the goal is to make as much money as possible, but make sure your property is
priced appropriately. If your property is priced too high, it will sit stagnant and develop an
identity as a problem property. If priced too low, it could cost you considerable profits.
Obtain a comparative market analysis of recently sold properties relevant to your home’s
size, location and condition. Knowledgeable interpretation of this information, in conjunction
with current absorption rates and your time frame, will determine the appropriate asking
price for your home.

#3: Don’t over upgrade
Small repairs and fresh paint always pay off. Mammoth makeovers, not so much. Many large
expensive remodeling projects simply don’t pay off when you sell your home, so don’t expect
to recoup the entire cost of the remodel. Instead, do small projects and inexpensive updates
that will help you get top dollar for your home. Replace door handles, cabinet hardware,
leaky faucets etc. Clean the grout, plant flowers and look for any other opportunities to give
your home a quick face lift.

#4: Make your home extremely available
Selling a home is inconvenient. No one will deny it can be one of the most stressful times in
your life. The pain can be minimized (by lessening the amount of time your home is on the
market) if you follow these simple rules:

• Allow the Realtor to take as many high-quality photos as possible to advertise your home.
• Put a lockbox on the property with set showing times that are easy for Realtors. Between
10am and 7pm is usually sufficient
• Be flexible. Remember, selling your home is inconvenient.
• Take advantage of Broker tours which will allow Realtors to preview your property before
bringing their client through your home. This will help reduce “lookie-loos.”

#5: Don’t forget your neighbors
Your neighbors want good neighbors. Chances are they may even have friends or family
that would like to live in the neighborhood. So let them help choose their next neighbor by
getting them involved in the sale of your home. Once you’ve listed your home, invite your
neighbors to your open house and use social media posts to mention your home for sale.
There are so many ways to instantly network online and you would be amazed at how
quickly a neighbor could create demand for your home.

#6: Be aware of your rights and obligations
The laws and regulations of real estate can be complex if you are uninformed or you do not
understand your rights and responsibilities. A contract for the sale of your property is legally
binding and shouldn’t be taken lightly. If you are unaware of what you are signing, you can
run into some very serious and expensive problems. Make sure you look at any issues that
affect title which can prohibit a sale until resolved. Your Realtor should be a valuable and
knowledgeable resource and can refer you to a licensed real estate attorney if necessary.
If you have questions, get answers.

#7: Trust your agent
Selecting the right agent is extremely important. Competence and experience will mean the
difference between a higher negotiated sales price and the loss of money. Once you identify
the agent you want to use to list your home, based on their experience in your area, listen to
their recommendations. Trust is key.
