The first Realtor staged for FREE and got the listing.  Four months passed, over 50 showings. No offers... Time cannot be recaptured.  The showings cannot be repeated,  homeowners need to clarify what they are getting when a Realtor offers them FREE home staging when they list their home.   Here are the photos of the Realtor Staged Home   New Agent, Ellen Osmundson and Professional Home Staging with C.L. Design Services and the builder/homeowner's direct quote is "I knew the home did not look right.  Now the rooms have purpose and look like what they were built for.   I should have done this months ago. Thank you Cathy Lee!"  Time cannot be recaptured.  Past showings cannot be repeated.  Homeowners need to clarify what they are getting when a Realtor offers them FREE staging when they l...

Everyone knows that there is some money to be made in Real Estate Investments, why is it that not very many people get involved? Too many people say that they just don't have the time to get started. People are busy with their family and life events. More than anything I hear people say they cannot get involved because they have to work. This is exactly why you must get involved. How would it feel if you learned to do one transaction that yielded you $15,000 to $50,000! Would that free your time! Many say that they just don't have the knowledge and this is a very real and true concern. Today's public education services do not include a curriculum that teach people to create wealth with an entrepreneurial endeavor such as real estate, and many seminar companies simply give you tidbits an...

Today was my last day at Keller Williams and my first day at my own Cross Walk Realty. I decided to leave Keller Williams for a variety of reasons, but mainly to go independent. I've always dreamed of the independence and working for myself, although KW did allow me to do that as well, but I have no corporate aura around me. Thank you KW-East Bay for your generous support and I've said it before, if circumstances were different, I would have stayed. However, I'm looking and moving forward despite the economy. Wish good fortune! To date, I've sold a house a month for myself, started a mortgage product side of the business and am helping clients with a Credit Restoration program that pays me! What a great way to start the year and be on my own boss. BTW, are you interested in starting a c...

We have a new team member, Carrie Hill of Diablo Realty.  We are very happy to have Carrie on board.  She has lived in the area for most of her life and is familiar with the neighborhoods. Carrie is an animal lover, which goes a long way with me.  She has currently been added as a volunteer at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum, which is so fun!  She gets to educate children and adults about local wildlife and how to protect it.  The Wildlife Museum also takes in injured wildlife to nurse back to health.  I'm also happy because Carrie is fun.  She and I recently had lunch at Harvey's in San Francisco and found out we have a lot in common and are good "hanging out" buddies (and she showed me a "hidden" parking lot in a very busy city).  Woohoo! And the bonus?  I got to make her a brand new webs...

Hubcaps is located in downtown Walnut Creek, CA.  On the morning of November 1, 2008, it was involved in an accident.  A vehicle that was in a collision with another vehicle jumped the curb and crashed in to the restaurant.  The strange thing is that I was planning to buy breakfast here the same morning but it wasn't open yet when I was in the area. Here's the story as it was reported by the San Francisco Chronicle: Car crashes into auto-themed cafe John King, Chronicle Staff Writer Saturday, November 1, 2008 15:19 PDT WALNUT CREEK -- A Walnut Creek diner with an automobile theme received a taste of the real thing today when a Honda sedan lurched into the diner's glass entryway.  The accident occurred at around 9:50 a.m. when a Mercedes and a Honda collided outside Hubcaps Diner at the ...

For those of us who know about Walnut Creek, we know it is the hub for shopping.  We have any and every store you could possibly want.  Walnut Creek isn't that big to begin with.  There are about 63,000 residents in a 20 square mile land area.  That is 3200 people per square mile.  Downtown Walnut Creek has a huge parking problem.  On the weekends, it is very tough to find any parking, free or not.  During the holidays, like Christmas, forget about it.  You might as well walk from home. Downtown Walnut Creekhas almost every store you can think of, but of course, there is always another store that someone wants.  In comes Neiman Marcus.  They plan on building a 60,000 square foot building where a current tenant is, that obviously isn't doing too well.  This building will be roughly 10% o...
