Boy did I get a bargain for my seller! He was selling a single wide mobile home in a lovely 55 and  over park.  A pest inspection company had recently done a presentation at one of our weekly office meetings  and offered each of us a one-time rate of $35 in order to try out his service. I though...

  Ever have a vocation that just won't leave you? My husband and I opened and ran a home for  homeless women in San Francisco a few years back. We had an incredible time, inviting women  who were living in the streets to come in and get a fresh start. To everything there is a season,  and that s...

I told an agent in my office I would hold one of her listings open for her - even though we both  knew it was very overpriced and not likely to attract very many visitors. After spending the first  hour feeling like a Maytag Repairman (lonely as all get out), a visitor finally arrived.  I smiled...

This is the case of the really confused real estate agent. He had so many listings, he didn't know  what to do... or which was which! I called to let him know my buyer's had just withdrawn an offer on a nearby house and wanted to  see his listing. They were withdrawing their offer because the el...

  I met a potential first time home buyer at one of my listings.  He was very excited about the house.  He loved the location, the condition - even the price!  So, we went to a lender to obtain a mortgage prequalification letter.  After about an hour of discussion, white board teaching and many ...

BLACK WIDOWS AND ALL!   Ok, I'm willing to go the extra mile for my clients.  I've helped paint kitchens, taken trash to the curb, supplied pizza for cleaning day, etc.  However, I discovered (the hard way) that there is definitely a limit to my services. While standing in the garage of a home my...

I've seen comments about 'the lovely Spring weather bringing out the buyers'.  Call me crazy but we need more than 'good weather' here in California.  We've had a beautiful Spring, yet the Buyers are still hiding out.  Here's why you might think I'm crazy - I think what's going to bring the Buyer...
