Get Creative for Taco Tuesday at These 5 Bakersfield Restaurants
There's never a bad time to celebrate Taco Tuesday! If you're in search of the perfect taco, you're in luck! Our agents love sampling the local fare so they can share recommendations with their clients.
We've done the hard work for you, visiting tons of taco spots until we found the best in the area (you can thank us later). When you're ready to take a break from exploring Bakersfield homes for sale, consider heading to one of these amazing local restaurants for a taco feast.
- Los Tacos De Huicho – 123 E. 18th St., Bakersfield, CA 93305
Los Tacos De Huicho doesn't serve fast food; they serve amazing food, fast. We love the fact that they make all their tortillas fresh and use real Mexican cheese. This goes a long way towards providing an authentic dining experience.
We recommend the shrimp or fish tacos, as they're arguably the best you'll find in the Bakersfield area!

Follow These Tips Now To Avoid Paint Color Regret Later
Paint. It's amazing how such a small word can be the source of comfort or regret. When it comes to paint, our agents have seen it all. From poor color choices to lousy techniques, paint regret is real and can have a real impact on the value of your home. Fortunately, you can do some simple things to protect yourself from bad decisions and utterly disastrous paint colors.
- A Penny Saved is Sometimes Pound Foolish. Your home will appreciate in value. It's an asset that you must maintain and protect. While saving a few bucks on a can of paint may seem like a good idea, the fact is that poor quality paints are inferior to costlier but longer-lasting, options.
- Know Your Limits. YouTube and Google are great places to get ideas and learn new tips and techniques. However, don't assume you're an expert just because you've watched a few episodes of This Old House or read up on the latest painting techniques. If you are not 100% confident that you can paint the interior/exterior of your home to the highest quality standards, hire a professional to do the work.

Why You Still Have Work to Do When You Hire Movers
You've found your dream home from a selection of Bakersfield homes for sale, hired a moving company, set a moving date, and now you think you're all set for the move. Not so fast! Even if you've booked a full-service move, there are several things you need to do before the big day to help avoid accidents, damage, setbacks, delays, and misunderstandings. Here's our agents' list of tasks you need to take care of before the movers arrive.
- Clean and Organize
When preparing for movers, you want to make sure that all items that will put on the moving truck are clean, dry, and in good condition. Commit yourself to tackling one cleaning project a day. You can empty drawers, bookshelves, and cupboards; wash all linens and towels; throw out the garbage and wash trash cans; clean out your closets; fold your bedding and strip the mattress; and drain out of any fuel-powered tool. Get rid of explosive, flammable, and corrosive items that your movers won't ship like fertilizers, car batteries, chemicals, propane tanks, motor oils, pesticides, and antifreeze.
