Smoke Alarms   We walk past them every day as we walk through our homes and never think about them until they start with that annoying chirp sound reminding us that the batteries need changing.  We never think of them but they are a  valid part of our everyday lives and I thank God that they worked in my home last night. As i knew that I had to get up early this morning, and knowing how much trouble i have with sleep, i took a sleeping pill before turning in at a decent hour to go to bed last night.  Sometime during the night I was dreaming that there was an alarm going off and my wife was pulling my arm in an attempt to pull me off of the bed. When I did wake up i found my dog Lucky who had my arm clamped firmly in his mouth and he is trying to pull me from the bed.   The annoying alar...

How do you explain the combination of skills, persistence and timing in the market? A short sale that took FOUR.FOUR YEARS! It was the house that no body wanted, not even the bank! Well almost nobody. We did finally sell it. We had NOD"S on it but never did we have a auction date and the bank did not try to do a loan modification. What is it?  A 1600 sq ft home in Apple Valley Ca. Almost two acres with a 1960's cabin expanded into a 3/1.   When we started this short sale the property was being lived in and the values were about  100,000 for this type of sale. What Challenge as a short sale? Client had a legitimate hardship. But there was an Irs tax lien for about 10,000 which later got pared down to $3000. Our Short Sale Expert Cathy Meyers was on the phone for hours. and Hours to get t...
