Much as I love showing houses, planning to visit more than around three of four becomes a challenge. I have my "foolproof" system. I plot out the homes on the MLS and generally start with the furthest one and work my way back. I really hate to end up having to end the showings at the furthest poi

I haven't entered a contest in a long while so I thought I would see if I could use any of my photos to enter this one, after all they are just sitting on my computer. I am certainly far from the world's best photographer but now an again the camera does the work for me. This entry is to for the

I am not a sports fan but I must say I am a huge fan of baseball, and specifically The Dodgers. This has been an exciting season that will probably end in the usual Division winning, playoffs losing disappointment. But enough about that, that's not the subject of this post.I grew up in the U.K. a

I check new listings manually every day on the MLS rather than setting up automatic notifications and I look forward to checking out each new listing to see if it matches any of my clients' needs. (Patting myself on the back). One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing a new listing put on the market

This isn't a part of the world I ever wanted to visit, but when I saw a cruise that covered Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and China at a reasonable price it was too good to pass up.It certainly is a different part of the world, and it makes you appreciate what we have in the West. Los Angeles

I was thinking about writing about this when I came across Kathellen Daniels' contest post No Fooling Around. I work hard for my clients whether they be buyers or renters. (Don't laugh, we can make some nice income from renters in Los Angeles, given the commission structure and high rental rates.

I have always wanted to take an aerial shot of the Wilshire Corridor and when I received an email from Luke Cheney of Free Flight Media to do a coplimentary shoot I jumped on it. Of course I was not going to have him do it for free.The voiceover is, of course, me, but take a brief tour down the

I think I have come to the realization that I have probably done more damage than good to my website over the past couple of years. My website used to bring me 99% of my business, mostly through my IDX, which for a time was powerful enough to put me on page one of Google for many of the listings
