Kota the Rescue Dog

Kota the Rescue Dog
Kota the Rescue Dog

This is Kota on a recent visit to Lake Tahoe.

Here’s his story as told to us by Monica Potter:

Kota was a part of the North Complex Fire evacuation near Berry Creek, California.

That complex of fires began with multiple lightning strikes in August of 2020 and was not fully contained until December 2020.  It was not that long ago!

The fire burned 318,935 acres, hundreds of structures and resulted in 15 deaths.

Monica and her husband Biff were evacuated from their Quincy home in August for one week.

Kota was one of many animals displaced by the fire.

After two months of “holding” at the Oroville SPCA, animals who were either unclaimed or whose owners relocated to homes that could not accommodate pets were placed up for adoption.

Kota’s tag read #99 of the 100+ animals available for adoption.

Monica and Biff adopted Kota.

As a happy ending, Kota LOVES Quincy!

He’s one-half German Shepherd and one-half Husky.  So, the snow turns him into an instant puppy! 🐶🐾

🏡 Good People, Great Homes!

Pre-Listing Inspections Change the Game 🦓Home in Pre-Listing Inspections Change the Game 🦓Home inspections remain one of the leading reasons deals fall apart. Financially stretched buyers aren't looking to absorb surprise repair costs — they're looking for reasons to walk away.The smartest move? Get a pre-listing inspection.For a few hundred dollars, you can identify and address issues on your timeline and terms — before a buyer's inspector turns a minor finding into a deal-killing negotiation. More agents and brokerages are actively encouraging this approach, recognizing that it gives sellers the opportunity to address repairs, set a fair price, and build buyer confidence before the listing even goes live.Photos win hearts. Data wins brains. Transparency wins deals. 🏠✅Link in bio - https://gghknoxville.com/what-makes-a-listing-stand-out-in-2026/Libby Guthrie, REALTOR® 🏡 | Cell: 865-364-0200 | GGHKnoxville.com

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐨𝐫 👀It 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐨𝐫 👀It's not just bedrooms and bathrooms anymore. Today's buyer is thinking about what a home will cost them after they buy it.
🏠 Flexible layouts win. 86% of buyers say they help them see past square footage. Dedicated home offices, walk-in pantries, and multipurpose rooms now outweigh raw size.
🔧 Move-in ready is non-negotiable. Financially stretched buyers aren't looking to absorb risk — they're looking for reasons to walk away. Deferred maintenance doesn't signal "potential." It signals a price reduction.
⚡ Energy efficiency is a financial filter. Buyers are evaluating updated HVAC, new windows, and solar panels as cost-saving assets — not just nice-to-haves.
Nearly half of buyers say they won't purchase a home that doesn't feel right the moment they walk in. Understanding this mindset is the first step to positioning your listing correctly.
