I found a great Thai restaurant last week when showing houses to two of my buyers.  We had finished looking at homes and they asked me to join them for lunch, but I had to pick out a good restaurant for them, since they didn’t know the area yet.

Although I had an idea of which restaurant to pick, I wanted them to be part of the choice but to also learn a little about the local area. Since we were in the neighborhood between Sheldon Road and Calvine Road, I opened my smart phone and logged into my website at www.ShoppingInElkGrove to bring up all of the local shopping centers. From the main page, I clicked on the map link at the upper right side of the screen. The map shows all of the shopping areas in Elk Grove. I then clicked on the black dots that represent each shopping area. We all looked at the information about all of the stores and restaurants, and together we picked out a small place called, “Simply Thai”.

I had the Yellow Curry with Chicken over Steamed Rice. They both had the Pad Thai. All three meals were wonderful. Now, if they end up buying the house in that neighborhood, they already know about a great local restaurant and how to find others as they get to know the community.  Check it out yourself.

If you are looking more for local services, rather than shopping centers and restaurants, go to my website at www.LivingInElkGrove.com and you will find a wealth of information about our wonderful community.

Remember, it isn’t enough that your Realtor knows about how to assist you with buying and selling houses, your Realtor needs to know about the community. Everything from schools to services, to farmer’s markets, to where to shop and where to enjoy a great restaurant. You will find all of that and more on my two websites. Take a look and let me know what you think.
