Exciting news this week in Fresno! 

Natali’s got the scoop on the return of the Downtown Fresno Ice Rink — it’s back, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Make sure to check out her post for all the details. ⛸️❄️

On another note, how about that rain yesterday?☔ I was headed to a listing appointment when the skies opened up — great to see, but we definitely need more of it!

Speaking of weather, can you believe Thanksgiving is just 12 days away? If you’re looking to escape cooking this year, be sure to check out our local guide for some fantastic dining options. A few years ago, we shared a list of where to go if you want to avoid the kitchen, and while a couple of spots have closed, the rest are still great choices. You can find it here: Thanksgiving Dining Guide.

Oh, and fun story: a friend of mine from the East Coast asked me to name 10 interesting things about Fresno — I gave her 12! 

Enjoy the weekend, friends!

Head YES man at FresYes.com
I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES

Who is FresYes?

Fresyes.com was started by me, Jason Farris. Yes, I'm in real estate. I think that real estate is so much more than buying and selling homes. It's all about the lifestyle, it's about community. Here in the Fresno / Clovis area we have such a wonderful sense of community. I wanted a place that best reflects the people, the places and the lifestyle that we call home. Fresyes.com is that place. We have fabulous authors who share what makes this community of ours so special. I also write here, and not always about real estate. You can find all my posts HERE
