4 Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2011 13B Plumas Properties B US I N ESS PLUMAS PROPERTIES, INC. M. Kate West Chester Editor chesternews@plumasnews.com "This is the third down cy- cle I've been through-since the 1990s. At this time we have so much inventory, it's a perfect storm for buyers," said Realtor Linda Pohler. She said the elements to that storm are real estate prmes that have returned to where they were 10 5 15 years ago and interest rates that still hover under 5 percent. Still she maintains her greatest challenge during this recession is improving buyer confidence. "I have clients who still wonder if they are buying at the bottom of the market. They still question whether they should buy now or wait, and whether or not prices will still go down," Pohler said. For those wondering buyers she advises them to come in with a lower offer. "The seller can always counter," she added. She was also quite clear about the types of listings on the market. She said Lake A1- manor is not inundated with foreclosures, that they are not a dominant sector of the local market. "I have a personal strategy about maintaining a positive outlook. At the same time I ask my clients to take a hard, realistic look at what proper- ties should be marketed for," Pohler said. As for those clients who are themselves facing chal- lenges, she said, "What I try to do is to remind them that what is happening to them is also happening to many oth- ers; that foreclosure is just a stage on the wheel of their life." She said the real estate mar- ket, like everything else, is challenged by what she calls the ripple in the pond effect. Lack of real estate sales af- fects property taxes, which are needed to keep the county departments running. staying positive in down economy "If summer rentals are down it impacts restaurants, boutiques and other local businesses. When the real es- tate market is strong the prop- erty tax base is strong and it eases the functionality and operation of government and business," she said. She also talked about what she considers to be success strategies and strengths. Foremost, she expressed her appreciation of her peers and the Almanor business com- munity. "We live in a unique com- munity. During tough times we band together and are ac- countable to our neighbors. We work with one another -- being here is very different from being adrift in an urban setting," Pohler said. She also stressed that ser- vice to clients is everything: "When you buy from us we go way beyond the sale. We are very connected to local service providers and are of- " ten in the role of conduit be- tween our clients and their needs." She said going aboye and beyond includes turning on the heat, finding and mailing a lost cell phone or'even a Public encouraged to join AVID students at League meeting Feb.3 AVID (Advancement Via at Greenville High and Ron four-year college.

"I also count as factors to my shccess the one-on-one service and personal atten- tion I provide to my clients. Continuing my education and staying current with what is. happening rurally with water, sewer and other issues is just as significant," Pohler said. She said how she treats her clients is critically important: "You are going to see your clients at the post office and the grocery store; they be- come your neighbors. At Plumas Properties we really go out on a limb to serve our clients beyond any contractu- al obligation."
