This is a masterpiece. A work of art refined by inspirations from Europe. The owner remodeled this home to perfection, and the craftsmanship has exceeded even my expectations. The raised flagstone walkway welcomes you to the newly designed front porch, also comprised of flagstone. Brick pillars b

Sunday was crazy. First, I met early with two new first-time home buyers. We talked about their needs and wants, and I counseled them to draw out how I can best help them. I truly love working with first-time home buyers. Lots of agents don't. They don't feel there is enough money in it for them

Has anybody else experienced the annoyance of repeated solicitation calls from Homes.com? My phone number is registered on the Do Not Call List, yet I have been the recipient of telephone calls from Homes.com two to three times a week. I have no reason to PAY somebody to list my name as a recomme

Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday. But it happened in 1967. When the news reported that Nancy Reagan declared the Governor's Mansion a "fire trap" and that she refused to live there, tongues lashed out, calling her a snob. Why, the Governor's Mansion, built in 1877 and purchased by the Stat

Oh, what I wouldn't give for an extra hour or two of sleep every nightI know it's not just me because when I walked into my office a few days ago, everybody I saw looked like something the cat dragged in. Many of the agents looked like zombie's walking: bloodshot eyes, heads drooped, feet draggin

I swear, grumble, grumble -- swear words that I can't print -- I can't keep up with the offers and counters. OK, I can. It just seems like I can't. Every offer involves at least 3 to 5 counters or more. And I've written so many this week. I was hauling out the trash last night for early morning p

OK, this is a shameless promotion to ask if you would vote in my poll on About.com. Plus, you can check the results from others who have voted. I'll go on the record as saying that it astounds me that women are drawn to Donald Trump. I had to write a blog about him today because a freelancer subm

Marty and Vernon Ummel were unsuccessful in court yesterday and are probably unhappier than they were when they filed this crazy lawsuit. You gotta figure Marty was unhappy enough to picket her agent's Re/Max office for a year before she and her husband legally pursued this complaint. It seems pa

Although my husband may disagree with what I'm about to say, that's his prerogative, but I think of myself as a pretty easy-going and mostly unfazed person. It takes a lot to rile me up. Like most people, I suppose, I do get my knickers into a twist when I'm dealing with unethical behavior, injus
