Mortgage Broker:
Steve Heard
Combined with real estate knowledge, Steve knows what you can
afford and what you can't. He won't try to sell you on a
mortgage that's going to bite you in the long run - he'd rather
see you in a house that you love and will match your budget.

Best Barber:
Folsom Barber
This is the fifth year of the Best of Folsom, and Folsom Barber
has won 4 out of 5 years. It's no wonder you usually need to
call ahead - it's an old-fashioned barber shop, and frankly,
that's hard to find these days. Just a bunch of older guys who
will tell you about life in Folsom before it was all strip malls
and chain stores.

Best Gifts:
Sunshine Creations
If you are out on Sutter Street, just lookie-loo'ing and not
sure what to buy, make sure you stop by here - they are well
known for unique gifts that you can't find at traditional
gift stores. Stumped for a gift for your mom? Skip Hallmark
and support a local business instead.

Best Bank:
Bank of America
In another tightly contested
race, B of A won this year's Best of Folsom again.
Considering the amount of competition from local credit
unions, it really does say a lot about a bank. Customer
service still counts for something!

Best Mechanic:
Folsom Autotech
We got several comments in our form not to let out the secret,
but a good mechanic is hard to find (perhaps why they are being
so sly)... if you need a tune-up, have a major issue, or
anything in between, you can trust the gang at Folsom Autotech
will be good to your car. They are honest and do a very thorough
job.1126 Sibley St # A

Website: City of Folsom
The City of Folsom is a great resource for residents and
visitors alike. When not surfing MyFolsom.com (we know we can't
demand ALL of your attention), stop by the City's website for
the latest events and news from the city. It's well laid out,
and don't tell anyone, but we get a lot of news stories from
here! ;-)

Best Veterinarian:
Folsom Veterinary Hospital
A good vet is hard to find... your pooch or kitty (maybe a
hamster?) is in good hands at the Vet Hospital. If you are new
to town and are looking for a good place with caring vats, look
no further. The Vet Hospital is trusted by many Folsom
residents.803 Read St.

Best
Grocery Store:
Trader Joe’s
Want to get a 4-year old to look forward to going to the grocery
store? Tell them to look for a secret stash of gold hidden in
the store. It will keep them occupied, and you can shop in
peace! Make sure they tell the checker where it is so you can
get a snack out of the "pirate's booty" chest.

Best Beauty
Salon:
Hoshall's
It says a lot when a store thrives in a poor location. When the
Dam Road closed, traffic regularly snarled the entrance to the
shopping center where Hoshall's is located. As a result, many
businesses have failed, as customers give up trying to access
the parking lot. Apparently Hoshall's customers will not let a
little traffic ruin their trip to the spa.

Best Sutter
Street Merchant: Chicago Fire
What's a trip to Sutter Street without heading to Chicago Fire?
This place gave a much-needed shot in the arm to the area, and
now that they have spread out a little, it's infused many people
in to the historic district. This pizza is phenomenal, and the
ambiance is very hip.

Best Real Estate Agent:
Steve Heard
We really should just call Steve 'Mr. Folsom', because he
knows everyone in this town. And we mean everyone. It's
obvious he's well liked, and he loves this city. Combine
this with his excellent ability to find you an ideal
house... it's no wonder so many MyFolsom netizens have
chosen Steve for their real estate!
