Development Committee Report: Turlock’s Better To Work With
02/24/10
A Development Collaborative Advisory Committee (DCAC) was formed in July 2007 in response to the Turlock City Council’s direction. Eight DCAC members from different aspects of the development community have been working on their mission to review the City’s development standards, policies, and procedures. The City of Turlock has had such a horrible reputation for being hard to work with in the departments of Planning, Building, and Engineering.

Turlock Real Estate in Demand
09/26/09
As our local market continues to experience fewer listings and many buyers, we are faced with a situation that seems to run contrary to what we are hearing from all the national news sources.

We’re actually in a place where we’re starting to see prices level off.” Read More…
