Lake County Association on Realtors® Officers Installation Dinner at Buckingham Park HOA

December 13, 2013 by Rick White

I had a fun night on Saturday, December 7th 2013. I think many who attended did as well. The purpose of the gathering was to install the new Board of Directors and me as the President of the Lake County Association of Realtors®. The theme for the evening was Casablanca from the old Humphrey Bogart film that was done back in the early 40s. We had Rosie Martin from Rosie Cooks Catering prepare us a fantastic Moroccan style dinner. Later in the evening we were entertained by some belly dancers. Looking forward to a good productive year. Should be an interesting year as well.

HEAR YE HEAR YE! A BUYER FOR KONOCTI HARBOR!

September 7, 2013 by Rick White

Well this has been a great week with promising news about the prospect of Konocti Harbor re-opening. I received a survey this week from a company that is representing the buyer which is Resort Equities LLC. http://www.resortequities.com

It is exciting to learn from the news articles that some of the elements the buyer may restore include the indoor and outdoor concerts, the marina and possibly the dining and spa facilities. After watching this large compound deteriorating from neglect over the past 4 years I think any improvement will be positive. So far I like what I’ve read about this project and look forward to see what effect it may have on the real estate market in Lake County, primarily waterfront and lakefront property market values. I think lakefront property owners with property in the region of Konocti Harbor as can expect to see renewed interest in lakefront vacation rentals down the road. I wish I had a crystal ball so I could say for sure how this will eventually turn out. For now we will have to keep our eye and ears open and be supportive and hope that the county will support the buyer as much as possible. We really need this venue back and we need another good employer in Lake County.

Here is a letter from the President of Resort Equities:
